AI agent for logistics engineers
Warehouse Slotting Optimization Agent
Less pick travel with a practical number of moves
What it does
Pick travel depends on where items are stored, and fast movers stuck in high or distant slots cost hours every day. Each month this agent reads pick history, item sizes and weights and the location map, and ranks items by picks per week. It proposes moving fast movers to the golden zone close to packing at waist height, and heavy items to low slots. Seasonal items are moved ahead of their peak. It simulates the last month's picks with the new layout to estimate travel saved. Each move is checked for space, weight limits and items that must not be stored together. If a move fails, it tries the next best slot. It ranks moves by travel saved and stops at the team's weekly move limit. The warehouse manager approves the move list. Edge case: an item under a quality hold is not moved.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
