Operate
Watch the pick paths, then fix the slotting.
For: Warehouse operations, 3PL, intralogistics engineers
Slotting decisions are made in a WMS spreadsheet. The consequence — pickers walking 14 km a shift, congestion at aisle ends, AMRs deadlocking at a crossing — is invisible until someone complains.
A twin of the facility with live pick paths, AMR traffic and congestion heat maps. Slotting changes get simulated against real order history before they get implemented.
Scan the racking as-built, import the WMS location map, and reconcile the two — they will disagree.
Six months of order lines drive the simulation, so congestion appears where it actually appears.
Compare velocity-based, family-based and hybrid slotting on distance walked and orders per hour.
AMR telemetry and scan events feed the same scene so ops can see the floor in real time.
The objection we hear most
“Our WMS vendor says they do this.”
They do the slotting maths, and they do it well. What they usually do not do is show it to you on the actual building, which is where the aisle-end congestion becomes obvious.
