Just push fast-forward and watch events unfold right before your eyes. Video technology makes logistics management more easy, and brings some serious savings with it.

Join the logistics revolution

Gaming technologies bring a completely new, intuitive and easy approach to logistics management. They are seen as the way forward by many logistics professionals who are looking forward to using the benefits it brings.

Consafe Logistics has pioneered WH3D (Warehouse 3D), a static and dynamic analysis tool that uses video game technology to simplify and increase the efficiency of warehouse surveillance. Using WH3D video game visualization, companies can now take virtual tours of their warehouses, checking what’s going on in real-time and viewing each row to see fill status. Walk along rows and check the contents of every individual pallet, or move on up and take a bird’s eye view, seeing at a glance the level of replenishment throughout the whole warehouse.

This improvement in user friendliness will have a profound impact on productivity, bringing huge improvements in error prevention and detection, and relieving warehouse congestion.
Advanced search - choose your parameters

WH3D gives planners information of where and how much change is required to optimize the warehouse at any given time, right down to rack level.

Advanced search modes let users choose all sorts of parameters, for instance which pallets are placed correctly or incorrectly and simply zoom in on particular pallets to check everything from age of inventory whether partial pallets are in full pallet locations, etc. All information can then be used in any reporting tool.
Forecast weeks ahead

WH3D is perfect for static and dynamic analysis of what will happen in the coming days or even weeks, and gives a complete visual picture of effects in different conditions. Using WH3D, people can view the spread of resources in the warehouse in full colour, and it even shows trucks as they move up and down the rows in the warehouse.

Analysis can even be speeded up so all traffic flows can be analyzed for any given day or week.

While it may be artificial intelligence, the tool is perfect for business intelligence. It is even possible to show trucks moving along the warehouse. Logistics isn’t a game, but it just became a whole lot more fun to work with.
