  • Patent number: 12159260
    Abstract: A warehouse coordination system receives warehouse data that represents a current warehouse state, and performance data that represents historical performance of warehouse workers. The warehouse coordination system generates and stores enhanced warehouse data, and provides the data for a plan creation user interface for a warehouse process. The warehouse coordination system receives, through the plan creation user interface, user input that indicates workers to be applied to tasks to be performed over a shift for the warehouse process, and a simulation command to perform a simulation of the tasks. In response to receiving the simulation command, the warehouse coordination system performs a simulation of tasks according to the user inputs, and stores a simulated warehouse process plan that specifies the tasks. The warehouse coordination system receives real-time data that indicates tasks being performed over the shift, and provides the data for a performance monitoring interface for the warehouse process.

  • Patent number: 11669802
    Abstract: A warehouse coordination system performs a simulation of tasks to be performed over a shift for a warehouse process, according to a defined sequence of the tasks and defined resources to be applied to the tasks, and generates simulation output data. The warehouse coordination system stores data that represents the defined sequence of the tasks, data that represents the defined resources to be applied to the tasks, and the simulation output data. The warehouse coordination system receives real-time warehouse data that indicates tasks being performed over the shift. The warehouse coordination system provides data for a performance monitoring interface, and the performance monitoring interface presents, for a plurality of time periods, an amount of tasks that have been predicted to be performed according to the simulation of the tasks, in comparison to an amount of tasks that have been performed according to the real-time warehouse data.

  • Patent number: 11436543
    Abstract: A warehouse coordination system provides data for a plan creation user interface for a warehouse process. The warehouse coordination system receives user input that indicates a sequence of tasks to be performed over a shift for the warehouse process, user input that indicates resources to be applied to the tasks, and a simulation command to perform a simulation of the tasks. In response to receiving the simulation command, the warehouse coordination system performs the simulation of the tasks according to the user input. The warehouse coordination system provides simulation output data based on the simulation of the tasks, and receives a confirmation command to confirm the simulation output data. In response to receiving the confirmation command, the warehouse coordination system stores the user input that indicates the sequence of tasks to be performed, the user input that indicates the resources to be applied to the tasks, and the simulation output.
