Warehouse design is too complex for guesswork. Before you invest in new automation, change your slotting strategy, or add a conveyor system, you need to know what will happen . That’s where simulation tools come in.

What’s the biggest operational guess you’ve seen a warehouse make? (Wrong conveyor speed? Wrong pick path?) Let me know in the comments. Would you like a shorter version for Twitter/X or a slide deck outline based on this post?

If you’re still making layout changes with cardboard cutouts or Excel guesses, it’s time to upgrade.
