RightChain Pallets

RightChain Pallets Pallet Storage, Picking, and Slotting Optimization
17% to 38% lower pallet storage and picking costs via higher productivity, storage density, and equipment utilization.
powered by RightChain.ai

RightChain Pallets minimizes pallet storage and picking costs by assigning each SKU and product to its optimal storage mode, storage configuration, pallet handling vehicle, and slot location. The AI-based pallet storage optimization extends the life of existing buildings, yields significant OPEX savings and CAPEX avoidance, and provides what-if capability for a wide variety of pallet storage analyses. RightChain Pallets has been employed in optimizing the pallet storage, picking, and slotting of more than two hundred warehouses including those at BP, Caterpillar, Clorox, Coca-Cola, Disney, Honda, HP Hood, John Deere, Mitsubishi, Procter & Gamble, and Target among many others.

Minimize Pallet Storage and Picking Costs

RightChain Pallets computes the minimum cost storage mode, storage configuration, and vehicle type for each SKU resulting in pallet storage and picking costs reduced by 17% to 38%.

Optimize Existing Footprint, Racking, and Vehicles

RightChain Pallets is frequently employed to help optimize the use of existing floorspace, pallet racking, and pallet handling vehicles.

Maximize Pallet Storage Density

RightChain Pallets determines the optimal combination of storage mode, storage configuration, and vehicle assignment to maximize storage density and handling productivity.

Minimize Handling Time and Distance

RightChain Pallets slots each pallet in such a way as to minimize pallet handling time and distance.

Maximize Pallet Picking Productivity

RightChain Pallets assigns each SKU to the combination of vehicle type, storage mode, and storage configuration that minimizes the total cost of pallet storage and picking.

Optimize Floor Storage Lane Depths

RightChain Pallets computes the optimal depth and mix of floor storage lanes to maximize storage density, minimize honeycombing, reduce re-warehousing, and increase handling productivity.

Justify Automation for Pallet Storage and Picking

RightChain Pallets allows users to evaluate and simulate pallet storage and picking automation alternatives including ASRS machines, AMRs, AGVs, and driverless lift trucks.

Baseline Current Pallet Storage and Picking Costs

RightChain Pallets is often used to help baseline current pallet storage and picking costs including labor, occupancy, and equipment.

CAPEX Avoidance for Building Expansions

RightChain Pallets is frequently used to help increase the useable life of existing warehouse buildings, thus avoiding and/or delaying major capital expenditures.

Pallet Storage Capacity Analysis

RightChain Pallets is often used to help determine the overall pallet storage capacity of current, proposed, and future pallet storage and picking solutions.

Evaluate Proposed Solutions and Scenarios

RightChain Pallets is typically used to evaluate proposed new storage modes, storage configurations, and vehicle types.

KPIs for Pallet Storage and Picking

RightChain Pallets may be employed to compute and project key performance indicators for pallet storage and picking including those for cost, productivity, and storage density.

Maximize Clear Height Utilization

In addition to floorspace, building clear height is frequently under utilized. RightChain Pallets helps to maximize building cube utilization.
