Eliminating DC Travel With Artificial Intelligence: A Software Approach To Optimise Labour

Many DCs are experimenting with robotic solutions to reduce warehouse labor by eliminating travel. But what if there was a technology that could achieve the same results without adding new automation or robotics?

Lucas Systems has introduced an AI-based tool that reduces travel 30-70 percent in picking operations.More than two dozen DCs are using this technology
today. Many have doubled productivity in piece picking, while others have seen double-digit productivity gains in case picking.

This paper reviews popular approaches to reducing travel in distribution center operations, and describes how AI-based travel optimisation can be used, either alone or alongside other travel reduction strategies and technologies, including robots.
