DYNAMIC SLOTTING

SMART INVENTORY LOCATIONS

Continuously organizing and optimizing where inventory is stored and moved throughout the warehouse. The smart algorithm greatly reduces travel time and management oversight.

Algorithm

A smart algorithm runs in real-time to optimize inventory locations during normal hours of operations.

• Interleaves Pick Clean for Location Selection

• Re-classifies Inventory Based on Rules

• Directs Put-away and Replenishment Tasks

• Balances Inventory Bin Locations

• Dynamically Re-sizes Locations (by size & velocity)

• Facilitates Temporary Push Locations for Speed

Machine Learning

By keeping the warehouse properly slotted in real-time, operations can perform better in multiple ways.

• Reduces Picking Hours

• Speeds up Picking Process

• Reduces Put-Away and Replenishment Time

• Reduces Supervisory Time Spent on Slotting

• Eliminates Massive Bulk Inventory Moves

• Increases Order Fulfillment Service Levels

DECISION

There are many decision points that drive the algorithm and make Dynamic Slotting a must for all warehouses.

​

There are other considerations that make Dynamic Slotting a must have for all warehouses.

• Weight and Size Considerations (ergonomics)

• Secure, High Value and Special Storage

• Zone Balancing and Like Product Separation

• Product Family Groupings

• Special Handling Requirements

• Zone Balancing
