Optricity and Bastian Solutions Partnership Provides Advanced Warehouse Optimization Services
With mounting pressure on companies to fill, ship, and deliver product faster than ever before, it is critical to maximize facility space and labor activities. To capture that competitive edge, the consulting team at Bastian Solutions is leveraging, OptiSlot DC™ (OptiSlot), Optricity’s advanced slotting optimization software, to provide customers with a more efficient, cost effective operation through optimal product slotting.
OptiSlot addresses the complexities of warehouse slotting by utilizing advanced mathematical algorithms. These algorithms consider a product’s dimensions; weight and velocity; physical characteristics of the environment including slot configurations, pick path and material handling equipment; and operational goals like pallet building, seasonality requirements and retail groupings.
“As qualified labor is getting harder to find and more expensive, the need to reduce the work content of the distribution environment has become essential,” stated Marvin Logan, Director of Consulting at Bastian Solutions. “Our customers have been relying on us for years to optimize their distribution environments, including ensuring that their product slotting plans are ideal for their operation. We have been doing the best job that we could with conventional tools and our own developed slotting products, but really felt like we needed to ‘raise the bar’. So we did an extensive search for the best-of-breed slotting optimization software on the market. We believe we have found that with OptiSlot.”
