(Lucas Systems: Wexford, PA) -- Distribution center technology provider Lucas Systems has announced new software enhancements to help warehouses make quicker and more effective decisions relating to order batching and prioritization, warehouse worker travel, and slotting.

With the addition of powerful algorithms and digital-twin warehouse mapping of the warehouse, Lucas Systems’ next-generation dynamic work optimization (DWO) delivers more effective warehouse performance by considering in-the-moment complexities related to order priority, SKU clustering, proximity, and warehouse layout.

Additionally, the enhanced software promises to reduce (up to 50%) the number of steps workers take inside the warehouse by optimizing pick paths to consider the least amount of travel time required. Pick path recommendations now factor in the effects of forklifts and cherry pickers—Lucas Systems says these details matter.
