Flexsim Warehouse Simulation

Warehouse Simulation Module

In general the handling in a warehouse does not add much value to a product. The majority of the processes consist of moving products from one location to another. Each movement takes time and therefore increases the cost due to personnel and equipment use. The number of movements and the distance are the biggest part of the operational costs in a warehouse. To reduce the cost, the number of product movements and the distance should be reduced.

FlexSim Warehouse Simulation focuses on reducing operational costs, by:

  • Improving process design and layout
  • Defining variables and logic for WMS control
  • Optimize and schedule the utilization of people and resources

Simulation Environment

The FlexSim Simulation Software  is a simulation environment that can be used for analyzing and optimizing warehouse processes. Talumis created various tools in FlexSim that allows to create simulation models very fast and accurate. These highly detailed  models are then used to analyze, improve and control the processes.

In short the FlexSim and TALUMIS expertise is used in:

  • Implementation and detailing WMS systems
  • Improvement of projects (define new layout and/or new work strategies)
  • Controlling changes in order patterns or activities
  • Finding optimal work schedules for pickers and operators
  • Defining picking strategies
  • Investigating the Return On Investment
  • As a planning tool: Find out the number necessary

Talumis uses the best simulation software: FlexSim

FlexSim is powerful yet easy-to-use software for simulation. A comprehensive and innovative simulation engine is hidden behind drag and drop controls, drop-down lists and many other intuitive features that make it accessible for anyone to experiment with a model. All simulation models are created to scale and are presented using 3D visuals, making it easy to watch the virtual system go through its daily operations and visually observe which elements are lacking in efficiency. FlexSim also gives decision makers the tools to confirm their observations, with impressive statistical reporting and analysis built right into the software.
