MULTIPLE VIEWS OF MULTI-DIMENSIONAL WAREHOUSE LAYOUT

摘要

Architecture for generating and manipulating a multi-dimensional visualization (e.g., top-down) of a physical layout of a warehouse. The visualization also provides graphical representation of computed pick rates of products in bins in the warehouse to support optimization of the location of the bins, and direct manipulation of the bins to move the bins to aisle and rack locations that provide optimized pick rates for the products being currently processed. An algorithm computes pick rate data and displays in association with each rack a color for the most deviating pick rate in the rack. Other visualization functionality is provided to expose suggestions for product movement. The visualization also employs a metaphor of “mirrors” to provide a horizontal view onto the sides of aisles in the warehouse.
