By using a scientific approach, we present analysis results to ensure optimal picking and support rational decision-making.

Location is Everything In the warehouse, the location of products directly affects productivity, worker safety, and order accuracy. Fast-moving items should be placed in the most accessible locations, heavy items should be stored in places that minimize damage, and optimizing the overall storage capacity of the warehouse is also important. Challenges such as similar orders, an increase in the number of SKUs, unstable demand, and responding to short lead-time orders require continuous optimization of warehouse space. In logistics operations that meet the requirements of omnichannel retail, optimizing slotting has become crucial for controlling costs and meeting customer expectations. The Best Approach to Optimization By recommending the best locations for each inventory item, employee labor efficiency improves, order processing cycles can be shortened, and throughput can be maximized. Additionally, strategically grouping items for fulfillment and updating recommended layouts based on trends and demand for new products enhances customer service. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*
