Warehouse Layout Simulation

Before moving racks, changing item storage, or reorganizing pick zones, warehouse teams need a way to estimate how those changes could affect picker travel and order fulfillment. SolvingMaze Warehouse Layout Simulation uses your warehouse layout, item locations, and historical shipment orders to compare layout and storage-assignment options before making physical changes.

Before You Move Racks

The common concern is simple: what if the team moves racks, changes slotting, or creates new pick zones and picker travel gets worse? Layout changes take labor, downtime, and retraining, so teams need a way to test the idea before committing to physical work.
Old Way
  • Move equipment first and measure later
  • Rely on intuition or spreadsheet averages
  • Change slotting without testing order history
  • Discover travel problems after rollout
Simulation Way
  • Compare proposed changes before implementation
  • Test layouts against historical shipment orders
  • Estimate picker travel impact before physical work
  • Focus effort on the most promising options

How Layout Simulation Works

  1. Upload layout. Draw your warehouse layout in Excel and upload racks, aisles, depots, pick zones, and traversal rules.
  2. Add order data. Upload historical shipment orders with item quantities and stock locations.
  3. Compare results. Simulate picking to compare travel distance across layout, slotting, aisle, and pick-zone options.
Use simulation results to compare promising warehouse floor plan and storage-assignment changes before moving equipment or changing day-to-day operations. You can also further streamline active picking with our Batch Picking software.
