Through Smart Automation
Optimizing Efficiency
Faster Picks, Lower Costs
Kenco’s proprietary SLOT DC® solution produced an annual cost reduction of $247K, or 26%. Travel distance saved per unit of case pick was 27% and travel distance saved per unit of pallet pick was 15%.
Our customer was employing manual zoning and slotting which wasn’t cost or time effective. Their distribution operation was very complex with a large number of SKUs. The order and activity profile for different SKUs was constantly changing making manual zoning/slotting very difficult.
A Complex, Ever-Changing Operation
Unlocking Efficiency with SLOT DC®
Manual zoning and slotting create inefficiencies that slow operations and drive up costs. SLOT DC®, Kenco’s automated slotting and zoning tool, streamlines the process by leveraging AI-driven recommendations to optimize slotting, zoning, and picking. It also generates picking heat maps to identify inefficiencies and performs cost-benefit analyses to ensure data-driven decision-making.
