Less Space, Less Time, More Work: The Mathematics of Efficient Warehouses

A warehouse appearing full does not mean it is being used efficiently. In fact, most of the time, irregular occupancy leads to operational gridlock. ADEYA "Logistics Warehouse Optimization Projects" aims to provide capacity and speed increases by improving only the way resources (space, people, equipment) are used, without changing them or making large investments. This service is a process of performing a "Check-Up" of your warehouse and then implementing the prescription.

In our optimization studies, our first focal point is "Volume and Space Efficiency." Slot occupancy rates on shelves, over-pallet gaps, and aisle widths are analyzed. The placement of products within the warehouse (Slotting) is reorganized according to order frequency. Picking times can be shortened by 30%–50% through strategies that seem simple but have a large impact, such as moving fast-moving products to points closest to the shipping area and shifting slow-moving ones to more idle areas.

Our second focal point is "Process and Workforce Optimization." The steps taken by personnel within the warehouse and the kilometers traveled by forklifts are analyzed. Unnecessary movements, waiting times, and repetitive tasks (double handling) are eliminated. Order picking strategies (single picking, batch picking, wave picking, etc.) are revised according to the company's order structure. For example, transitioning to a "cluster picking" method for an e-commerce company can revolutionize labor productivity.

Software and integration support are essential for optimization to be sustainable. We update the parameters of Warehouse Management (WM) and Transportation Management (TM) software according to the realities of the operation. We perform system fine-tuning to ensure algorithms work correctly, routing is done via the shortest path, and resource planning is automated. Additionally, through energy optimization projects in cold storage warehouses, we provide significant savings in electricity consumption by regulating the operating regimes of cooling units. ADEYA optimization projects reveal the hidden capacity in your warehouse and enable you to produce more work with your existing infrastructure.
