The simulation allowed the team to test 47 scenarios in three days. They found a hybrid solution—wave picking for fast-movers combined with batch picking for slow-movers—that increased throughput by 34% without adding a single conveyor. The simulation also revealed they had over-provisioned reserve storage by 40%, allowing them to convert 80,000 sq. ft. to a value-add services zone.
One 3PL provider used simulation to prove that staggering start times by 30 minutes reduced congestion in the packing area by 22%, with zero capital expense. warehouse simulation tool
You can experiment with new layouts or automation (like AMRs) without disrupting live operations or committing capital. The simulation allowed the team to test 47
