Lucas Systems has introduced Dynamic Pallet Builder technologies, which offer a dynamic and automated way for workers to build better pallets with optimal efficiency and tailored to specific warehouse needs.
The software solution, which sifts through a myriad of requirements and data points, makes thousands of calculations per minute looking across relevant warehouse operations to determine the appropriate trade-offs needed to optimally pick, group, sequence and stack items on one or more pallets at a time. Pallet-building recommendations consider a wide variety of variables including product size, weight, stacking rules, shipping regulations, worker travel distance, safety, route order, order priorities and more.
The software solution, which integrates with a variety of warehouse management systems, is highly configurable, aligning with a company's specific operations and priorities. Additionally, the software solution dynamically recomputes optimal pallet builds in response to orders continually flowing into the warehouse.
