/ 01 · WHAT WAS THE CHALLENGE?

Space and Picking Optimization with Vertical Storage

Different load sizes and turnover rates shared the same storage approach, creating long picking routes and underused vertical volume.

The objective was to create a sustainable operating model rather than automate an isolated task.

CHALLENGE

Operational consistency

Different load sizes and turnover rates shared the same storage approach, creating long picking routes and underused vertical volume.

ENGINEERING SCOPE

Integrated architecture

We profiled inventory, selected the appropriate storage technology and integrated locations, tasks, ergonomics and WMS/WCS control.

VALIDATION

Scenario-based acceptance

Normal operation, exceptions, recovery and critical safety scenarios were tested with operations teams.

/ 02 · HOW DID WE SOLVE IT?

Engineering approach

From requirement to system behavior

  • Field requirements and operating constraints were modelled before implementation.
  • Equipment, software and data interfaces were designed around a common operating context.
  • Operator guidance, alarms and recovery scenarios were included in the design.

Controlled implementation

  • We profiled inventory, selected the appropriate storage technology and integrated locations, tasks, ergonomics and WMS/WCS control.
  • Changes were verified through traceable test and acceptance scenarios.
  • Operations and maintenance teams participated in commissioning and handover.
