Warehouse Planning with the WareHouseDesign Tool

Only with the right warehouse technology, conveyor systems, and order-picking technology can optimal material flows within the warehouse be achieved. This is a key consideration when planning new warehouses or modernizing existing ones. However, comparing different levels of automation and technical options is becoming increasingly difficult, partly due to the wide variety of technical solutions and the numerous manufacturers. A wide range of mostly innovative and, above all, highly automated solutions is available, which is generally a very welcome situation for all potential users.

But which technology is best suited to your specific requirements? The challenge lies in selecting the right level of automation and the appropriate technology for the optimal process—while, of course, ensuring an economically attractive business case. This is no easy task for warehouse planners and logistics managers alike. Key factors for a general assessment and evaluation of the technical options include the sizing of the warehouse space, the determination of performance data, and the calculation of investment costs. Furthermore, layout design and 3D visualization are of great importance for optimal warehouse design. Powerful tools with standardized metrics, visualization, and evaluation methods are very helpful for quickly addressing this task.
