The process of finding the most suitable place in the warehouse for respective items based on various criteria (routes of pickers, SKU attributes, the order of launching orders, and others).
What is slotting?
The process of finding the most suitable place in the warehouse for respective items based on various criteria (routes of pickers, SKU attributes, the order of launching orders, and others).
Increasing the bandwidth of the warehouse
Complete more orders with the same number of employees. Or reduce the staff to ensure the current load.
Improving the efficiency of operations in the recruitment area
Reduce order processing costs and transaction costs. Fewer idle passes - higher productivity.
Reduce the mileage distance of equipment and employees up to 50%
Reduce the maintenance costs of the equipment.
Rational use of the warehouse volume
Use the warehouse space efficiently. Get an accurate estimate of the occupancy of operating areas.
A solution for effective optimization of the placement of items in a warehouse with WMS
A four-dimensional virtual environment simulating a real warehouse.

Imitation of the work of employees
Learning bots with individual parameters exactly repeat the work with the terminal of an ordinary employee
3
Accounting standards and parameters of operations
Speed limits, cargo handling and other basic operations
4
User Interface
Receiving tasks, running working scripts in the interface. Uploading the results to Excel or directly to your WMS.

Total reduction of mileage in the warehouse of the federal retailer
The maximum savings were achieved on the product groups "Vegetables and fruits" - more than 40% and "Freezer" - more than 30%. The runs to keep the placement up-to-date were less than 1%.
58%
Total reduction of mileage in the warehouse of the largest 3PL operator
Daily mileage (was) - 590 km. The daily mileage after the simulation (became) 240 km. There are 25 pickers in warehouse.

How does Smart Slotting work?
We are creating a 3D model of the warehouse
We make a warehouse model based on technical, technological and statistical data. We are introducing regulations for moving and cargo handling.
Calibrating the AS IS model
Using real orders from the current WMS, we simulate the operation of the warehouse. We adjust the standards to obtain the required level of reliability.
Forming models TO BE
We are compiling a list of working hypotheses for the distribution of items in the warehouse. We conduct control tests. We transmit the product placement matrix to WMS.
3D model of the warehouse
The functionality for building a three-dimensional warehouse model allows you to create arbitrary configurations, taking into account the unique features of the topology and zoning of a particular object.
REQUEST DEMO
Model accuracy
The simulation model repeats the physical processes in the warehouse with high accuracy.
Flexible visualization
Different viewing angles, passing the route together with the picker.
Background modelling
According to a schedule with notification of the simulation results.
Different warehouse processes and equipment
Slotting optimization can be carried out for the process of acceptance, placement, recruitment, consolidation, as well as for different types of equipment (storage, transporters, PTO, AS&RS).
Integration with your WMS
Transfer of data on the distribution of items in the warehouse to the current WMS.
