Frequently Asked Questions
🚜 What’s new in the Warehouse Planner? Beta
You can now visualize the forklift driver’s route in full 3D — in 3D press f to test the path.
How can I record my own route? Beta
In 2D: Hold Shift and left-click the first point and then without shift several points along your desired route.
When you’re done, press Enter to save and view the route in 3D-View.

Why is 3D visualization so useful?
Because it shows real proportions — or helps you present your layout visually.
How do I avoid having columns or pillars blocking my aisles?
The planner lets you define hall structures and automatically checks aisle placement against obstacles.
Should I place racks with the long or short side facing the aisle?
You can test both orientations in 2D & 3D to see which gives better access and storage density.
What’s the difference between deep and sideways pallet storage?
The planner simulates pallet depth and orientation, showing the trade-off between capacity and picking speed.

Can I switch between metric and inch units?
Yes – choose metric or inch at startup to match your local standard.
Is it better to build a high warehouse with small floor area, or a flat hall with more ground space?
Our planner shows how vertical vs. horizontal expansion affects storage density, costs, and accessibility. You can simulate both hall types and compare.
Should I plan fewer wide aisles or more narrow aisles to avoid congestion?
The simulation helps you test different aisle numbers and widths, balancing throughput against available storage space.
How much extra space do I need if I use crosswise pallet storage for order picking?
Crosswise pallet storage increases picking efficiency but requires more space. The planner calculates the additional space needed compared to deep storage.
Why are compact warehouses more environmentally friendly?
Compact warehouses are smarter for the environment—they use fewer resources and consume less energy, helping your operations become more sustainable.
Can I use irregular pallet heights, hall corners, or move individual elements?
No. Warehouse-planner is built on the principle of standardization. Using just 30 variables for a full layout, this standardization is the key to professional
warehouse planning.

Does the planner account for fire safety regulations?
No. These regulations vary by country, but they are extremely important. Always check local rules before finalizing your layout.
Are escape routes automatically planned?
No. These rules also differ by country. Make sure to plan escape routes according to your local regulations.
Is the material flow optimized automatically?
No. Optimizing material flow is usually done by consulting firms, which may involve additional costs.
