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

Location is Everything Within the warehouse, the location of products directly impacts productivity, worker safety, and order accuracy. Fast-moving items should be placed in the most accessible locations for picking, heavy items should be stored in areas that minimize damage, and optimizing the overall storage capacity of the warehouse is also crucial. Challenges such as similar orders, an increase in the number of SKUs, unstable demand, and the need to respond to short lead-time orders require continuous optimization of warehouse space. In logistics operations that meet the requirements of omnichannel retailing, optimizing slotting has become essential 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 are 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.*

Labor management enhances product throughput, promotes customer service, and supports warehouse efficiency improvements.

High expectations for customer service through omnichannel commerce, fluctuating demand, an increase in the number of SKUs handled, and a reduction in the quantity per order require higher employee productivity and efficiency than before.
