Warehouse planning
Yale simulates and visualizes warehouse scenarios
Visualization and simulation tools for scenario planning make it easier to cope with unexpected changes. "Logistics is constantly changing," says Ron Farr, Director Warehouse Sales EMEA at Yale Lift Truck Technologies.
"Companies don't just have to decide on a fleet that works in the current situation. They also need to consider how the equipment can be adapted in the future." With a global network of independent dealers, the forklift truck manufacturer supports customers locally with data-based simulation and visualization solutions. It uses the Yale Warehouse Simulator, a software program that can develop various warehouse layouts based on real situations.
Complex mathematical calculations provide statistics on fleet performance and efficiency based on different scenarios. The tool allows companies to experiment in two and three dimensions with different layouts, configurations of forklifts and time sequences, including data analysis. This can support the planning of scenarios and prepare companies in the best possible way for unknown changes in the warehouse. The simulation model is based on the real world.
The details range from forklift trucks with different tasks and fixed maintenance intervals, to storage areas where the supply of goods is stagnant, varying quantities of pallets, congestion on transport routes and the number of trucks used to optimize the flow of goods and productivity. Together with its dealers, Yale can therefore recommend the optimum combination of industrial trucks for the respective warehouse requirements.
