Digital twins can have a significant impact on the design, operation and optimization of logistics infrastructure such as warehouses, distribution centers and transshipment facilities. Digital warehouse twins can support the design and layout of new facilities, allowing companies to optimize the use of space and simulate the movement of products, personnel and material handling equipment.
The problem of warehouse optimization typically arises during the scaling of a company’s warehousing solutions. An increase in the volume of loading and unloading operations increases the differential of storage volume, which in turn requires the allocation of more racks and their niches. Increased stress on the internal logistics of the warehouse can cause critical situations of all kinds.
Challenges for optimizing warehouse operations to be solved by Digital Twin Engineering:
• Calculating the optimal area and capacity of storage areas, taking into account the planned incoming and outgoing flows;
• Searching for the optimal arrangement of shelving, terminals and other equipment;
• Determining the optimal ratio of internal logistics elements (loaders, workers, etc.);
• Automation of product movement and packaging in warehouses.
