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. In today's fast-paced economy, strengthening relationships with workers is essential for success. This allows for cost reduction in labor while driving innovation and increasing productivity and final profit margins. Manhattan's labor management solution is a system designed to bridge the engagement gap with employees by recommending rewards for high performers and providing coaching and training for those who are not meeting goals. As a result, workforce efficiency can be improved, leading to reduced turnover rates and increased productivity within the warehouse.

By using this user-friendly mobile solution, supervisors can spend more time in the warehouse, engage with their teams, respond in real-time to remove obstacles, address underperforming employees, and ensure that operations run smoothly.

SPACECOOL Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce its support for the purpose of the newly established memorial day "Day to End the Too Hot Summer" by the Japan Climate Leaders Partnership (JCLP). In order to address the increasingly severe heat waves, we will continue to promote the expansion of our zero-energy cooling radiative cooling material "SPACECOOL." JCLP has registered August 8, 2025, and every August 8 thereafter, as "Day to End the Too Hot Summer" with the Japan Anniversary Association. — What is the new memorial day "Day to End the Too Hot Summer"? In recent times, many regions in Japan have been experiencing consecutive days of extreme heat, and the impacts of climate change are manifesting in serious ways in our lives. Nevertheless, reports and discussions linking this to "climate change" are limited, and there is currently a lack of momentum for climate change measures. In response to this issue, JCLP has decided to establish the "Day to End the Too Hot Summer" during this hottest time of the year, creating a social impetus to reframe "heat" as a climate change issue. This memorial day aims to share the commitment to halt the climate crisis for future generations and serve as a starting point for advancing the systemic transformation of society as a whole.

Are you making progress on measures for the "2024 Problem"? With stricter management of drivers' working hours, reducing "waiting time" has become an urgent issue in the logistics field. To address this challenge, our company, Hotron, proposes the "Vehicle Detection Ultrasonic Sensor 'HM-UX2'," which instantly grasps the availability of loading bays. The 'HM-UX2' contributes to the resolution of waiting times by accurately understanding the availability situation, reducing unnecessary waiting and queueing, and shortening waiting times to alleviate the burden on drivers! By replacing the "eyes" of your loading bay management with this high-precision sensor, why not start addressing the "2024 Problem"? Take a look at the product features: "Can it accurately detect availability?" "Can we really use it in our company?" "I just want to know the cost, even if it's an estimate." If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to consult with us.
