The following diagrams explain the concept of row, bay, level and bin, as used in Jim2 for Advanced Warehouse Management.
 Rows are the major identifiable storage areas, and can be pallet racking, open floor space or traditional shelving. The main criteria is that it is a defined area that is clearly identifiable to staff.

Vertical bays are the next division in warehousing, followed by horizontal levels (shelves) and, finally, bins – the space within a bay/level combination. |
Shelving, counters, cupboards and so on all follow the same concept, only on a smaller scale. |
