  • Intelligent pallet matching – Jennifer™ uses order, inventory, and location information from the WMS and other systems and applies AI-based algorithms to create optimized assignments.

  • Path optimization – Jennifer™ path optimization algorithms use a virtual map of a facility to compute an ideal travel path that does not follow a strict location sequence.

  • Dynamic slotting – Lucas Dynamic Slotting uses AI and a real time “always on” approach to eliminate the traditional time-consuming engineering, manual complex modeling, and high cost required to do warehouse re-slotting. Lucas makes slotting smart, simple, and dynamic.
