SIMULATE THE WAREHOUSE
- Posted on 01 January 2010
What kind of structure and equipment make sense in the warehouse? Where to store new articles or special campaign and seasonal products? What is the optimal order picking strategy? What manpower is required for the efficient handling of the upcoming order volume?
Using realistic simulations of different scenarios, ORion-PI Logistics Optimization from Axxom Software enables the efficient analysis and optimization of warehouse assignments, pick strategies or different warehouse and material handling technologies. The impact of different measures in a warehouse can thus be analyzed without making actual physical and expensive changes
The basis for the simulation is a geometrical model of the warehouse layout. Users then add warehouse components like pick locations, racks and shelves, assign stations to different warehouse zones or areas and define dimensions and types of racks and shelves. Axxom promises that the modeling of huge warehouses with tens of thousands of storage locations can be accomplished within just a few days with the software.
