Lucas Systems' New Self-Optimizing Technologies Help Warehouses Adjust in Real Time

Additionally, the enhanced software promises a reduction (up to 50%) in the number of steps workers take inside the warehouse by optimizing pick paths in a way that considers the least amount of travel time required.  Pick path recommendations now factor in the effect of forklifts and cherry pickers, and Lucas Systems says these details matter.

Additionally, the enhanced software promises a reduction (up to 50%) in the number of steps workers take inside the warehouse by optimizing pick paths in a way that considers the least amount of travel time required.  Pick path recommendations now factor in the effect of forklifts and cherry pickers, and Lucas Systems says these details matter.

In recent months, Lucas Systems executives have announced 'dynamically-driven' technologies to help warehouse operators quickly adapt to changing operational conditions or shifts in demand. Lucas Systems' Dynamic Slotting technologies is an example of one of these technologies. Announced earlier this year, its benefit is to simplify re-slotting by providing in-the-moment recommendations, powered by AI. It applies machine-learning algorithms to recommend which products should be moved. It also learns the spatial characteristics of a warehouse and predicts task time based on activity-level data. The model then continues to 'learn', providing continuous optimization as conditions change.

Lucas Systems says warehouse agility is key to a company's future growth and is absolutely necessary in these times. They've outlined their vision for creating a dynamically-driven warehouses in their new report, The Transformational Promise of the Dynamic Warehouse. The report includes customer insights and new strategies and considerations for change.

Lucas Systems CMO Ken Ramoutar says, "You cannot future proof your warehouse with fixed or mechanical automation. Rising supply chain volatility requires adaptive operations with in-the-moment smart decision support. The more agile your operations are, the more you'll be able to capitalize on opportunities and minimize the impact of disruptions and then course correct them."

Ramoutar describes a dynamic warehouse as having the smart software and decision-making technology to: 

Ramoutar adds, "The agility from smart software will help warehouses respond - cost effectively - to supply chain disruptions and other fluctuating market dynamics. Warehouses that aren't dynamic will face significant long-term challenges with warehouse performance and more demanding customer service levels."
