Case Study: a European manufacturer of automated warehouse systems achieves faster warehouse planning and higher throughput with Moravio’s digital twin

European Manufacturer of Automated Warehouse Systems improves throughput 13% with Moravio

A European manufacturer of automated warehouse systems faced the challenge of accurately estimating the throughput of its automated crane systems for clients. The company relied on manual estimations that were time-consuming and could not easily model different warehouse layouts, operating strategies, or hardware changes. Moravio was engaged to develop a solution that could provide these critical numbers before any physical investment was made.

Moravio built a digital twin of the warehouse and its crane, a custom software solution featuring a configurator, a physics-based simulation core, and a 3D view. The solution provided measurable results, including the ability to model a new warehouse layout in minutes instead of days, identify a 13% throughput difference between strategies, prove a hardware change could increase throughput by 24-30%, and show that preventative maintenance was 17 times cheaper than a reactive approach.
