How We Designed and Built Intelligent Warehouse Systems
Picking Process Automation
The systems we design start by combining multiple seed orders into one batch, then follow system-optimized routing rules to improve picking or routing efficiency.
These automation systems are configured from a centralized software platform orchestrating both high-level and low-level flows while ensuring that the itemized master data in the system is accurate.

Graphical Monitoring & Dashboard Systems
Graphical monitoring system utilizes visual methods to display information clearly and quickly such as color-coded charts and various boards for visualizing work.
Dashboard System (1) establishes a comprehensive and reliable indicators; (2) uses visual effects to convey the information; (3) monitors information, finds answers, and views all metrics immediately; (4) follows data change consistently

Assign Storage Areas
1. Fixed - Each type of material has one storage location
2. Categorical – Based on item size, weight, etc.
3. Randomization - System assigns according to statistical availability
4. ABC Rules - Programmed by preferred criteria such as traffic, order volume, etc.
Or a combination of above.
