Warehouse management
This terms appears a few times in a document relating to a warehouse management system, order preparation, etc.
"A chaque produit déposé sur la palette, une mission allant de la **tête de gondole** vers son emplacement final est créée."
"Si la palette est destinée au bâtiment 5, une mission palette est également créée allant de la sortie du convoyeur vers la **tête de gondole**."
"Il s’agit des missions permettant le plus souvent de réapprovisionner l’emplacement picking d’un produit, en passant par l’emplacement situé en **tête de gondole** ou non."
I've seen the term used before in the sense of 'end of aisle units/displays' etc. but I'm sure this is not the right meaning in this case.
Can anyone suggest a translation of "tête de gondole" in a warehousing context please?
Many TIA,
Vicky

end of aisle
I IMAGINE the basic situation is that of the "commercial" "tête de gondole" except that here it is not a "display" but quite simply the end of the aisle in a high-rack (or other) warehousing system. So items transit between the picking system which takes them from the end of the aisle to the rack or vice versa and the conveyor which takes them from the end of the aisle to ... wherever, or vice versa.

Comment: "Thanks for the explanation. I'll try and find some refs to support this but I think I'll go with this eventually. Many thanks to you all."

Just an idea.
On this diagram they use pick start / end

Surely end of aisle display is for supermarkets?
