What is meant by Walkways and transport routes?
The term "walking and transport routes" refers to the paths that people (walking routes) or goods (transport routes) must take within a production or logistics environment. Efficient planning and optimization of these routes are crucial for saving time, resources, and costs. In simulation software and other planning tools, walking and transport routes are simulated, analyzed, and optimized to ensure the efficient design of production and storage processes.
Typical software functions in the area of "walking and transport routes":
- Route Optimization: Simulation and analysis of walking and transport routes to minimize time and effort.
- Visualization of Routes: Display of walking and transport routes on layouts to analyze their efficiency and potential bottlenecks.
- Route Planning: Support in planning efficient transport and walking routes based on capacities and transport methods.
- Resource Allocation: Assigning workers, vehicles, or machines to specific transport tasks to avoid bottlenecks.
- Ergonomics Analysis: Examination of walking routes concerning the physical strain on workers and staff to improve health and efficiency.
- Time Tracking and Analysis: Measuring and evaluating the time required for walking and transport routes to identify areas for improvement.
