Yale’s warehouse simulator is an extremely accurate software program designed to provide operators of large warehouses with a sophisticated consultancy solution.

Yale’s consultative approach is provided free of charge by the company’s warehouse equipment specialists in determining the optimum warehouse design and equipment specification. The program uses the same simulation ‘engine’ used by major European airports, leading rail infrastructure companies and other blue-chip organisations. It uses intelligent algorithms to write the specialist code bespoke for each end user application, down to the finest level of detail.

The input interface breaks down the sections of the largest warehouse into atomic parts including marshalling, parking and staging areas, the exact type of racking, storage and the fleet to be used. VDI data including speeds and energy consumption, goods flow and order picking and replenishment regimes data can all be input into the program.
