    摘要: Example methods and systems enable rearrangement of a warehouse to an optimal layout determined according to customizable goals. An example method includes receiving, at a warehouse management system (WMS), information of a warehouse and items of the warehouse, identifying an item shipment expectation including new items expected to be received at the warehouse at a future date and items present at the warehouse marked for delivery at the future date, determining an optimal layout of the items of the warehouse at a present date based on the item shipment expectation, determining an amount of time to rearrange the items, by one or more of robotic devices rearranging the items, to the optimal layout based on a time measurement for robotic devices to perform tasks, and determining to rearrange the items of the warehouse based on the amount of time to rearrange the items being less than a threshold amount of time.

    摘要: A method for assigning a planogram to a new fixture on a floor plan includes receiving an indication of which planogram to relocate and an indication of a target fixture that the planogram will be relocated upon. The computer-implemented method further includes determining where on the target fixture the selected planogram will be place and causing databases storing assignment data to be updated to reflect the new location. Once the databases are updated to reflect the relocation, the contents of the database are analyzed by a display device running a store layout application to depict the relocated planogram on the target fixture.

    摘要: There are provided a shape data generation apparatus and shape data generation program capable of arranging, on one sheet-like medium, parts obtained by slicing one cutting shape. A shape data generation apparatus includes a slicing unit (11) configured to slice a cutting shape represented by supplied shape data into a plurality of parts in accordance with a closed shape prepared in advance, an arrangement unit (12) configured to arrange, of the cutting shape, a part protruding from the closed shape to fit in a free space within the closed shape, and a generation unit (13) configured to generate shape data representing a plurality of parts fitted in the closed shape.

    摘要: A system is provided that that generates an optimal item placement for one or more items. The system receives one or more items, where each item includes an item height and an item width. The system further receives a container, where the container comprises a container height and a container width. The system further generates a number of copies for each item and a position within the container for each copy of each item, where each copy of each item is placed at the corresponding position within the container. The system further outputs the number of copies for each item and the position within the container for each copy of each item.
