Apex Warehouse Design Modeling: Turning Data into Actionable Solutions

20190702_071939

Using our proprietary modeling and product slotting techniques, we transform data insights into a warehouse layout that maximizes space, improves accessibility, and minimizes unnecessary handling. Our approach ensures:

  • Optimized Storage & Accessibility – Right-sizing forward pick locations based on item velocity, pick frequency, and cubic movement.
  • Streamlined Order Processing – Accommodating commonly ordered items together to reduce travel time and improve efficiency.
  • Comparison of Design Scenarios – Evaluating alternate layouts against current operations to maximize productivity
  • Resource & Budget Planning – Factoring in labor, equipment, and seasonal fluctuations to provide accurate cost projections.

Now, here’s the fun part—bringing your warehouse vision to life!

Our warehouse designs integrate storage solutions, handling technologies (forklifts, goods-to-person systems, conveyors, etc.), and strategic placement of receiving, order processing, staging, and dock locations. Apex also provides a capital and operational budget estimate, including labor and equipment costs, to ensure a well-informed decision-making process.
