Warehouse planning using software: for maximum flexibility and efficiency
Warehouse planning is critical to success, as only a flexible and scalable warehouse can be adapted to changing consumer and purchasing behavior and other specifications. Software-supported warehouse planning takes a look at the dimensioning, structuring and organization of the respective warehouse capacities. The subsequent detailed planning then focuses on goods handling within the warehouse.
An overview of the schematic process:
- Planning and concept development, including reference to material flow data
- Analysis of possible extensions or a retrofit
- Identification of existing optimization potential
- Simulation and emulation of processes and procedures
- Customization of specific functional areas
- If applicable, 3D-supported warehouse planning
Important: A prior location analysis makes it possible to create a holistic picture of all warehouse-relevant key data and KPIs. This in turn serves as a planning basis for constant adjustments, expansions and optimizations for warehouse planning using software.
