Systems and methods using computers to manage palettes in the warehouse

Abstract

Computer-based technology is proposed to optimize warehouse space, such as storage racking systems. This technology determines the storage duration of pallets in the warehouse and further identifies the optimal storage location for pallets within the warehouse. For example, this technology can determine how long pallets will remain in the warehouse and locate the optimal warehouse area for storing them. Such an optimal pallet storage area is chosen to reduce labor costs in transporting pallets into, within, and out of the warehouse, and further optimize the management of multiple pallets throughout the warehouse. Additionally, this technology can consider pallet size when determining optimal storage locations within the warehouse.
