Illustrative scenario. Figures are modelled on typical Omnifys deployments and are not drawn from a named client engagement.

The challenge

A distribution centre picking 12,000 lines a day slotted by product family and reviewed placement annually. Fast movers ended up deep in the warehouse as demand shifted, and pickers walked an average of 14 km per shift.

What Omnifys deployed

  • Continuous slotting analysis against live velocity data
  • Relocation recommendations batched into low-activity windows
  • Travel distance modelled before any change is approved
  • Seasonal re-slotting ahead of peak periods

Agents used: Warehouse Slotting Agent, Demand Forecasting Agent, Route Optimization Agent.

Results

  • 31% — reduction in pick travel distance
  • 14 to 9.7 km — average picker distance per shift
  • 19% — increase in lines picked per hour
  • Quarterly — re-slotting cadence, up from annual

Why it worked

Annual slotting was obsolete within weeks. Continuous adjustment kept the layout matched to what was actually moving.
