Route Strategies

In Trial mode you can try the Optimal, Aisle-by-Aisle S-Shape and Block-by-Block S-Shape algorithms live.

Active
Optimal
Dynamic Programming · Shortest
Uses dynamic programming that covers all possibilities to find the route with the shortest total distance.
Active
Aisle-by-Aisle S-Shape
Heuristic · Fast
Handles the aisles in order; in each aisle it chooses which cross aisle to enter and exit through so that the total walking distance is minimized.
Active
Block-by-Block S-Shape
Heuristic · Fast
Proceeds block by block: it zigzags through only the aisles that contain items.

Note: The algorithms are based on academic papers by Ratliff and Rosenthal and by Roodbergen and de Koster (paper 1, paper 2 and paper 3).

Set the warehouse size, select order locations from the racks and see the shortest route within seconds.
