Explore How Slot3D™ Software Can
Improve Your Warehouse Operations
Slot3D™ is a warehouse software solution built specifically to help you design,
visualize and optimize warehouse workflow by creating a digital model of your
warehouse operations. It combines unique AutoCAD® layout-specific functionality
with powerful planning, visualization and analysis tools that help increase design
and operational efficiency when responding to changing warehouse requirements.
Design
Explore and Validate Multiple Design Options
Design and evaluate warehouse layouts that
meet storage and distribution requirements
and produce the best selection of type,
size, quantity and equipment.
Visualization
Seeing is Believing
Visualize and simulate layouts digitally in 3D
before making costly physical changes to
warehouse operations. Evaluate functional aspects,
explore designs in context, and efficiently communicate
layout options to key stakeholders.
Optimization
Increase Productivity, Decrease Costs
Optimize SKU placement to minimize
storage space, picking costs and
equipment procurement expenses.
