drawings/pieces machine tools

Good colleagues
how do you manage the pieces coming out of the cut for operators to machine tools?
by us are banally placed on pallets, which reflect (when it is okay) each one a machine/committee, and each piece has under itself or threaded into its own paper design.
the mantra is that in all the steps of the workshop the design must always follow the piece, but obviously with a system so gross every now and then the design is lost, when not just all the tondino.
can you advise me some smarter system taking into account that it is a "old" and uninformed workshop?

Good morning @asblo, from your statements I deduce that once you cut the pieces, these are put on pallets (wood pallets?) and placed in one or more common areas where there is currently room availability; a pallet can contain one or more particular of the same series or of different types.
not knowing the internal logistics as well as the layout of the placement of the various productive departments and any storage warehouses and excluding forms of computerized management (barcodes, microchips, magnetic bands, etc.) that the company currently would not be able to manage, I can give you these suggestions.

- after cutting insert the drawing into one transparent envelope with button like this- always in the envelope, also insert a precompiled sheet where the operator will add with marker, by hand: n° order, code, description, quantity, operator name and possibly the destination center for the next processing phase (plus pallet identification, see later).the sheet must be clearly visible in transparency to avoid having to open the envelope every time you search for information about that detail.
the presence of this sheet can also avoid the presence of the drawing, which could be held in the production office or at the department that will have to carry out the next processing.

- envelopes can also be of various colors (but always transparent) useful to highlight at a glance the urgent details or the destination department, or other.

- last but not least, insert a neodymium magnet into the envelope with an adhesive force of about 1.5 - 2 kg (es: supermagnete) ; approaching the envelope with the magnet to a flat surface of a piece (obviously only iron material) will no longer run the risk of moving in phase of movement or in the presence of air currents caused by moving means near the pallet.

this system is practical if the pallets are on the ground; In case they were placed on multiple-storey shelvings, it would also be useful to identify the pallets with a number etched on fire or paint on each of the two wooden blocks in the shortest part (where usually the trolleys in order to move the pallet). Obviously this number must be reported by the cutting operator, on the accompanying leaflet described above, a copy of which must be delivered to those who follow the programming of the production and/or the operator responsible for the collection of the material.
I recommend a number of two alphanumeric characters to keep the size large enough to identify it from the ground.

If there was space, all this could be avoided simply by creating a storage warehouse next to each machine/work center.

for parts in metal containers some variations can be adopted.

thanks for the suggestions. the pre compiled sheet in envelope is actually easy to implement and can help very
