Simply implementing a WMS into your operation may not achieve the results that you are looking for. Very often we advise that some level of layout change is made to optimize the flow through the warehouse. DATASCOPE consultants often assist with this consulting at a high level. Detailed CAD drawing are not completed by DATASCOPE but we will often work with a local company to get the basic layout right before they complete the detailed CAD drawings.
Further, the layout and the software can often work together to give the best solution. This is particularly opportune when a distribution center will be moved into a new facility. At this point we will often suggest that careful consideration goes into the design of the warehouse in conjunction with the selection of the software model. Depending on the distribution center needs the layout and the software model could be very different.
