Digital Twin Platform
Create yourDigital Twin warehouse in a matter of hours.
WareBee is a digital-twin copy of your warehouse — a real-time model of its physical space and every process within it. It simulates navigation, picking routes, putaway and replenishment, so you can reduce cost, improve service and make your business more profitable. It's the missing link in digitising your warehouse and the wider supply chain.
Warehouse digital twins are the latest technology innovation in logistics, bringing the power of AI and the physical world closer together — letting you see how your warehouse operated in the past and helping predict the future.
Making a warehouse metaverse, where you can play and experiment with multiple models to find the best and most cost-effective way to improve the warehouse operations.
Digital Twin
What is a Digital Twin Warehouse?
WareBee is a digital copy of your warehouse — it simulates the physical space, navigation and the many complex processes in the warehouse, like picking, putaway and replenishment.
What does it do?
WareBee is not only a simulator. WareBee AI can simulate your current or historical status and help you predict the future, running unlimited what-if scenarios.
It helps you evaluate which kind of automation is most cost-effective, assess your workforce and equipment, and experiment with different layouts and racking types.
WareBee also audits your warehouse for safety — identifying overweight and oversized items, hazmat and dangerous goods, and any custom policy you define.
Step 1 — Everything starts with Data
WareBee has a data engine that easily lets you import warehouse data from any source — location sizes, stock assignment, product catalogue and historical orders.
Warehouse Data Management
Warehouse (Master) Data
Warehouse Data Manager and Importer — WareBee's data engine lets you import data from any source with simple guided wizards.
Warehouse Data Types (examples)
Location Sizes
Stock Assignment
Product Catalogue (SKUs)
Historical Orders
Metadata
Warehouse Knowledge Graph
Warehouse data unification and knowledge graphs — making complexity simple. Data unification merges and unifies data from all available sources through cleansing, deduplication, classification and schema integration, providing an accurate, unified data source. It is later used for warehouse business intelligence and prediction modelling.
Warehouse Data Sources
WMS
WareBee complements any WMS — just export the data as CSV and import it back to us automatically.
ERP Systems
WareBee complements any ERP — just export the data as CSV and import it back to us automatically.
CSV, Excel and Spreadsheets
Already working in spreadsheets? Export your data as CSV and import it into WareBee automatically.
IoT, Sensors and Robots
Bring in data from IoT devices, sensors and robots — export as CSV and import it into WareBee automatically.
Step 2 — Warehouse Design
Visualisation and design made easier — a different paradigm for warehouse design. Quickly try new floor plans and experiment with new workflows virtually.
Visualise your warehouse data
Warehouse Layout Designer
Warehouse designer, redesigned. An AI-guided designer module converts your location data into a digital warehouse model.
Warehouse Design Planner
Interactive Layout Designer
WareBee's AI designer automatically creates a map of your warehouse layout (floor plan) from your location dimensions — no coordinates needed. With a virtual digital-twin layout, new storage, automation and MHE equipment can be tested virtually, without rearranging physical assets.
Warehouse AI-assisted designer
Map Engine
Create virtual layouts of warehouses and distribution centres. Experiment with how new designs, equipment and automation could improve future operations — all in a few clicks.
Navigation & Routing Engine
Warehouse navigation routes and paths are generated automatically by the AI, creating a 2.5D navigation map of the warehouse that acts as the basis for traffic flow.
Step 3 — Warehouse Planning
Intuition is good, but making data-driven decisions is better. Digital-twin planning offers a radically new approach for modelling complex warehouse processes in a simple way.
Warehouse Strategic Planning
Warehouse Planning
WareBee's AI planning tools help automate and evaluate multiple scenarios to reduce cost, increase operational efficiency and maintain compliance.
Workforce Planner
Analyse your warehouse workforce utilisation to improve operational performance, find inefficiencies and ensure compliance with regulations.
Resource Planner
Plan your resources with data — analyse your MHE equipment, understand utilisation and CO2 impact, and explore what-if automation and robotics scenarios, costs and benefits.
Warehouse AI Consultant
Analytics as a Service
Improve decision-making with monthly, weekly, even daily planning cycles. With Analytics-as-a-Service, leverage your data to simulate and get actionable results — building a data-driven organisation that surfaces valuable, actionable improvement opportunities.
Warehouse Digital Consultant
A warehouse AI consultant that continuously suggests actionable tasks to improve your business effectiveness.
Warehouse Compliance and Risk Audit
Policy Engine
Define and enforce warehouse policies — WareBee improves productivity and resource utilisation with AI.
Risk & Compliance Engine
Audit safety and compliance risks across your operation — WareBee improves productivity and resource utilisation with AI.
BI Engine
Continuously analyse your warehouse KPIs and compare them against industry standards.
Warehouse Slotting Optimisation
By understanding the parameters of your operation and modelling heatmaps of your existing layout, WareBee visualises and demonstrates where your current slotting can be improved. You can then simulate and experiment with alternative slotting layouts and policies, optimising them by comparing reports against your operational policies and constraints. Optimised slotting lowers warehousing operation costs and increases efficiency.
Warehouse Heatmaps
Visually analyse your warehouse with different heatmapping techniques. Explore ABC item analysis, aisle congestion, fast- vs slow-moving location analytics and multiple compliance policies. Interactive heatmapping lets you analyse your warehouse in fine, visual detail — surfacing insights you haven't seen before, from space utilisation to SKU allocations and more.
Step 4 — Warehouse Optimisation
Model and simulate your warehouse, then use the power of your data to get actionable results.
Warehouse Optimisation
Warehouse Optimiser
WareBee optimises your warehouse using complex modelling and correlation to find the most cost-effective layout and re-slotting.
Warehouse Optimisation Consultant
