Abstract:
A warehouse coordination system performs a simulation of tasks to be performed over a shift for a warehouse process, according to a defined sequence of the tasks and defined resources to be applied to the tasks, and generates simulation output data. The warehouse coordination system stores data that represents the defined sequence of the tasks, data that represents the defined resources to be applied to the tasks, and the simulation output data. The warehouse coordination system receives real-time warehouse data that indicates tasks being performed over the shift. The warehouse coordination system provides data for a performance monitoring interface, and the performance monitoring interface presents, for a plurality of time periods, an amount of tasks that have been predicted to be performed according to the simulation of the tasks, in comparison to an amount of tasks that have been performed according to the real-time warehouse data.
