# Warehouse Modelling & 3D Warehouse Simulation

## Simulation

Software tools can be used to demonstrate, simulate and model designs. Real time modelling allows clients’ an overview of the proposed operation in the concept design phase enabling the ability to confirm the efficiencies, capacities and improve the resilience of proposed systems.

Simulations predict possible outcomes and scenarios based on real business data. It can help in concept design and in planning to: –

- Improve lead times
- Reduce excess inventory
- Make the most efficient use of available resources
- Address warehousing issues
- Investigate productivity
- Reduce inventory costs

## The use of these tools allows for the:

#### Proving and refining of design concepts

– The design, construction and operational fit out of a warehouse requires significant capital expenditure. Oversights, mistakes, or missed opportunities in the early planning stage will increase operational costs and constrain the future flexibility of the warehouse.  
– A warehouse may have operated effectively for some time but as it becomes challenged by an increasing load, its effectiveness and efficiency will lessen.  
– Through simulation you can model and review your current methods and operations and test and assess potential changes in a virtual setting reducing the time and cost requirements associated with physical testing.  
– By undertaking simulated iterations with different combinations and values of the parameters used in the model these iterations provide a low-cost and low risk method to determine the optimal set up for a warehouse under development or in need of redesign.

#### Testing what if scenarios

– Using simulation, a comparison can be made in real time of dynamic workloads and conditions. By adjusting the parameters of the model, performance improvement opportunities can be identified.  
– Simulation of the operation, implemented with real data, can model aspects of receiving, picking and distribution. A variety of “what-if” scenarios can be created to enable planning for all contingencies, and scenarios such as growth and additional volume or changes in order profiles, etc.  
– Simulation provides a way to put a warehouse to the test in a risk-free environment without disturbing the existing warehouse system. It also enables users to determine minimum actual costs without sacrificing the required output.

#### Sizing of space and storage requirements

By agreeing design horizons and supported by detailed analysis of throughput and inventory requirements both short term and long term solutions can be engineered. The outputs from the model can be used to identify empty pick locations, congestion and resource requirements.

#### Determination of MHE and labour requirements

Storage, docks, conveyors, forklifts and personnel can quickly be introduced and adjusted within the simulation model. This gives the opportunity to determine how best to fully utilise equipment, maximise efficiency and to assess optimal staffing levels and shift patterns.

#### External

Simulation can be utilised to great effect in validating vehicle flows on and around a site, identifying potential bottlenecks at gatehouses, dwell time on dock, vehicle staging, gate to gate KPI’s and car and people flows.

#### Identification of potential bottlenecks

The material flows and movement of goods within a facility involves many variables which simulation software is able to model in order to predict the possible course of events. The model can help to visualise where bottlenecks may occur and to then model the potential solutions to eliminate them.

## Enhancing Design Through Real-Time Modelling and Simulation

We use a number of software tools to demonstrate, simulate and model our designs. Real time modelling allows clients an overview of the proposed operation in the concept design phase and allows us an ability to confirm the capacities and improve the resilience of proposed systems. The use of these tools allows for the:

- Proving and refining design concepts.
- Testing what if scenarios.
- Identification of potential bottlenecks.
- Sizing of space and storage requirements.
- Determination of labour and MHE requirements.
- Provision of” fly throughs” to demonstrate visualisation of the operation.

It is important to build flexibility into a design to allow for future developments and changes. The models we build are used to test the boundaries of the performance of the proposed concept and thereby assess its flexibility and resilience.

An added benefit of the modelling is that the models can be run in real time and using 3D graphics can provide movie files that enable the concept to be demonstrated to the operational team.

## Conveyor Demonstration Model

This model depicts a plant that produces corrugated packaging. Typically, they receive blanks from a work in process bank between a corrugator and the converting machines which die cut, print and possibly fold and glue the finished packages. The completed stacks of products are then transported to a finished goods area where the stacks are placed on a pallet, then strapped and sometimes wrapped, depending on customer requirements.

This particular plant originally had an automatic car that collected the stacks from the converters and carried them to the finished goods area. This proposal was modelled using conveyors to do this transfer.

The problem with using cars is that if they are busy, completed stacks may wait at the car pickup point and a queue build back forces the converter to pause production. This is known as blocking and it can greatly reduce the utilisation of the converters, especially those with a high output.

<iframe width="458" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/g3zn--2rTrQ" title="Conveyor Demonstartion Model" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: medium;"></iframe>

 

The advantage of conveyors over a car is that while they both carry stacks, the conveyor also provides a buffer storage which can reduce the amount of blocking on the converters.

A further requirement was that stacks from a converter should be released as a pair, and maintained as a pair through the system. This was to allow the fork lifts moving the palletised stacks into the warehouse could most easily stack the pair, thus increasing the utilisation of the fork lift trucks. The model demonstrates this feature.

In practice, the model is configured via an Excel spreadsheet that also contains a schedule for each converter. This permits the customer to experiment with different production schedules and various other factors such as proportion of wrapped pallets and sheet sales (these are stacks that are sold to other converter companies).

## Inbound and Outbound Transport Flows

#### Purpose:

To optimise the positioning of the Gatehouse to avoid vehicle queuing back on to the public highway – Inbound – and congestion within the site – Outbound and identify waiting times and resources requirements.

#### Description:

Inbound vehicles arriving are split into three lanes – two for suppliers (green) and one for client’s own vehicles (blue).

## Private Vehicles Flows Entering and Leaving Site

#### Purpose:

To identify the effects of vehicle flows at shift change to determine road and junction layout to minimise effect on public roads.

#### Description:

Cars arriving and departing at shift change – over three shifts.
