Overview

How We Used AI to Eliminate Warehouse Inefficiencies with Intelligent Layout & Slotting

A large-scale distribution center required intelligent warehouse redesign to eliminate inefficiencies in layout planning and SKU slotting.

Traditional warehouse automation software relied on static configurations and manual adjustments, limiting scalability and adaptability.

Plavno delivered a scalable AI warehouse planning solution as part of its enterprise AI development service.

The system functions as an intelligent AI agent that analyzes warehouse movement data, simulates traffic patterns, and generates optimized layout and slotting strategies.

    <span>How We Used AI</span> to Eliminate Warehouse Inefficiencies with Intelligent Layout & Slotting
    01

    Problem

    The warehouse operator faced:


    • Inefficient product placement

    • Congested picking routes

    • Underutilized storage zones

    • Rising labor costs

    • Slow order fulfillment cycles

    • Difficulty adapting to seasonal demand


    Static warehouse layouts failed to reflect real-time SKU velocity patterns.

    Problem
    02

    Challenge

    The client required an AI intelligent agent capable of:


    • Processing high-volume WMS data

    • Modeling SKU velocity and clustering

    • Optimizing slotting based on turnover rates

    • Simulating picker routes and congestion

    • Integrating with existing warehouse automation software


    The solution had to operate at enterprise scale across 100K+ SKUs.
