AI Warehouse Layout Advisor

Designing an efficient warehouse layout requires more than just floor space — it’s about aligning your
operational flow, rack configuration, and workforce with the type and volume of goods you handle.
The AI Warehouse Layout Advisor helps you quickly understand how your warehouse dimensions,
SKU diversity, and packaging methods affect your optimal layout.
It’s a free, browser-based tool designed for logistics planners, warehouse managers, and small business
owners who want professional insight without expensive software or complex configuration.

How It Works

This AI simulator uses simple input data to generate a personalized layout recommendation in seconds.

1. Enter your basic warehouse data — total area, height, number of SKUs, packaging type, and daily in/out volumes.
2. The system analyzes your inputs and suggests an optimized layout, including rack type, layout flow, and workforce estimation.
3. Download the full recommendation as a PDF report for reference or internal planning.

💡 All calculations are processed locally in your browser — no data is collected or stored.

What You’ll Learn

By using this tool, you’ll better understand:

How warehouse size and height affect storage capacity.
Why SKU variety determines the need for ABC zoning.
When to choose U-shaped vs. in-line flow layouts.
How to estimate required personnel per shift based on movements and area.
Which racking systems are suitable for your packaging type (pallets, boxes, or small parts).

Recommended Next Steps

To apply your layout recommendations effectively, consider the following actions:

Review and validate your ABC zoning.
Confirm aisle width and flow direction based on equipment and traffic.
Separate bulk storage from picking areas for improved efficiency.
Update your location coding system to reflect the physical layout.
Standardize replenishment paths between bulk and picking zones.
Validate SKU placement based on demand, handling, and accessibility.
Ensure receiving and dispatch areas follow a logical sequence.

These steps help you translate layout guidelines into a practical and structured warehouse design.

FAQ – AI Warehouse Layout Advisor

What is the purpose of this tool?

It provides structured warehouse layout recommendations based on area, equipment, zoning, flow, and storage logic.

Who should use this advisor?

Small and medium-sized warehouses that need clear layout guidance without CAD tools or WMS simulation.

Does it replace professional engineering design?

No. It offers practical recommendations, but detailed engineering and safety design require professional validation.

How accurate are the recommendations?

They follow industry best practices and warehouse logic, but must be validated on-site before implementation.

Can it help with picking optimization?

Yes — it provides zoning and flow suggestions that improve picking routes and reduce walking distance.

Conclusion

The AI Warehouse Layout Advisor is not a replacement for a full WMS design but a quick, insightful guide
to help you visualize how logistics principles apply to your warehouse space.
