Most clients are unable to accurately visualise entire warehouse layouts and its machinery through technical drawings alone. wARehouse planner solves this by enhancing visual clarity for clients via an accompanying AR application.

When the machine models are scanned, the App overlays a detailed virtual 3D model of the corresponding machine.

This ensures accurate 3D visualisation for both parties.

User interactivity is key in wARehouse planner. Clients can set up floor boards which represent the warehouse and intuitively place and move objects on it to plan the layout.

Physical building blocks representing different types of machinery, equipment and zones are utilised to improve communication between clients and DB Schenker representatives. 

This ensures a smoother and a more enjoyable planning process.

The AR app constantly monitors and relays information back to the user through 2 features. 

The first feature is Clash Detection, where the App alerts the user when the minimum safety distance between machines are violated.

The second feature is called Bottleneck Identification. This feature determines which machine in the planned layout has the lowest throughput and is causing inefficiency in the warehouse movements.

Together, these features ensure that the users are able to enjoy real-time feedback in the planning process, and prevent back-and-forth planning caused by delayed design evaluation.
