Abstract: A layer pick system optimizes usage of a layer picker gantry or robotic arm by arranging and/or displacing the gantry or arm in optimal locations with respect to one or more groups of pallets, and/or by grouping pallets by their attributes and arranging the same group of pallets close to each other. In some implementations, a plurality of pallets is categorized into multiple groups by different velocities.

Abstract: A computer-based technology is provided to optimize a warehouse space, such as warehouse racks. The technology determines a storage duration of a pallet in a warehouse, and further determines an optimal storage location for the pallet in the warehouse. For example, the technology can determine how long an inbound pallet will stay in a warehouse, and locate an optimal area of the warehouse to store the pallet. Such an optimal pallet storage area is selected to reduce labor costs in transporting the pallet in, within, and out of the warehouse and further optimize the management of multiple pallets in the warehouse as a whole. In addition, the technology can consider the size of the pallet in determining the optimal storage location in the warehouse.

Abstract: This document generally describes simulating warehouse automation designs and evaluating the results of such simulations to optimize automated warehouse designs. Warehouse automation can be simulated, for example, to determine an optimal warehouse automation design given a variety of parameters that are specific to the warehouse, such as the expected customer inventory demands over time, the layout of the warehouse, and/or the specific automation features (e.g., machines) that are possible within the warehouse. Such warehouse simulations can be repeatedly run and warehouse automation designs can be modified to identify an optimal warehouse automation design that will, for example, maximize the efficiency of the warehouse by minimizing pallet place and pull times, minimizing truck load/unload times, and minimizing/eliminating failures during which the warehouse is not able to meet threshold performance metrics.
