Cosmetics Warehousing
As consumer habits are shifting rapidly towards online purchases, fast, reliable, and scalable supply chain management is not just an advantage but a need of the hour.
Read MoreFast, efficient and robust warehouse systems that don’t require weeks of design work or continuous adjustment. That’s what we deliver with DIDO, our ground-breaking warehouse intelligence platform.
By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, your business data is combined with intelligent automation, resulting in the creation of a digital twin to simulate new layouts and changes in order to create a design of your ideal warehouse. DIDO seamlessly integrates with modern warehouse robotics solutions, ensuring your facility is optimised for both current operations and future automation.
It’s not just the ideal solution for today, it’s also designed to stay optimised into the future – constantly working and analysing to ensure that your warehouse is operating in the most efficient way.
Our clients are already enjoying the benefits of this revolution in the warehouse design process.
DIDO captures operational data to inform precise, strategically aligned warehouse designs
DIDO rapidly evaluates thousands of layout options, optimising for efficiency and accessibility
DIDO creates a digital twin of your warehouse, thus allowing interactive, immersive design validation before implementation
The power of DIDO is its capacity to process and analyse huge volumes of data, fast. It’s a suite of software applications that operate in collaboration to find the best possible warehouse designs. These applications build a digital twin of your warehouse: a like-for-like digital model of your warehouse to simulate real data, design data, automation processes, and operational performance for ongoing optimisation. DIDO is an innovative answer to the problem of decision-making in a complex logistics environment.
DIDO does not remove human decision-making from the final warehouse design. It automates the process of problem-solving by taking every variable into account, and exploring every possibility, at a speed and in a volume impossible for human designers. The final, optimised, designs are reviewed and revised by a team with extensive experience and skill in warehouse intelligence and design.
ELSA – Everything Lives Somewhere Appropriate – uses machine learning to classify every stock-keeping unit (SKU) based on picking and storage needs. It’s a very sophisticated ABC analysis that ensures that we place fast-moving products into larger apertures and slow-moving ones into smaller apertures.
ELSA’s categorisation ensures the best layout by aligning SKU storage with delivery and picking patterns. This provides the data relied upon by subsequent design stages and creates the data foundation for the digital twin.
CLARA – Creates Layouts Algorithmically and Rearranges Accordingly – autonomously generates warehouse designs quickly and accurately, incorporating the insights provided by ELSA.
CLARA’s layout designs streamline warehouse flow, using algorithms to balance efficiency and space utilisation, and helping ensure an ideal layout before implementation.
ELISA – Ensures Layout Is Sufficiently Agile – simulates and scores each warehouse design based on operational data.
ELISA validates each layout, ensuring it meets operational and strategic benchmarks and continuously informs the best-fit design choice.
The outcome is an optimised design – the one with the highest score. This optimal design is then turned into a precise digital twin, which we can visualise in Virtual, Augmented or Rendered Reality using SEC XR, our Extended Reality engine. You can literally walk through the warehouse, in virtual form, to see how it will look and operate. Ultimately, through the combination of Machine Learning, AI Simulation and Extended Reality technology, we can ensure that we deliver THE optimal design, ideally suited to an operation’s specific strategic and operational requirements.
DIDO is an ever learning and ever-changing piece of AI technology which constantly analyses your warehouse processes to ensure that you are using the most efficient methods possible. Upon request, we can maintain DIDO after the completion of your project to maintain optimum levels of productivity.
SEC XR is SEC’s Extended Reality Engine, that incorporates 3D design renders, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality capability, for a fully immersive warehouse design experience.
We developed SEC XR to support our award-winning DIDO platform – Data In, Design Out – which harnesses cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and virtual reality to revolutionise the warehouse design process.
Integrating SEC XR into the DIDO platform, allows users to visualise the design solution and enhance the decision making process around infrastructure to make them safer and more efficient.
Organisations of all sizes are now using AI-enabled design to improve productivity across their supply chain. Many are enjoying huge benefits as they discover how AI makes a positive difference to their customer service and their bottom line.
Our team of designers, data analysts and project managers have helped numerous businesses across many different industries. For example: DIDO helped our customer ProFS save 64% on robotics and carry out over 600 picks per hour. DIDO also doubled the storage capacity for a well-known electrical distributor and made processing 8 times more efficient.
