Challenge

  • Winning new business: Linfox sought to sharpen its competitive edge by improving warehouse design and operational planning.
  • Legacy processes: reliance on AutoCAD, assumptions and internal expertise limited creativity and made it difficult to quickly test multiple warehouse design options.
  • Standardizing operations: Linfox needed a solution to better simulate, assess and communicate complex warehouse layouts and operational scenarios across diverse projects and geographies.

Solution

  • Seeing is selling: Infios CLASS software provides 3D visualizations and interactive fly-through simulations, engaging customers in the design process and clearly demonstrating operational dynamics.
  • Scalable roll-out: rapid modeling and assessment of layouts, labor allocation, and material handling equipment (MHE) supported implementation for eight major Linfox warehouse projects covering 275,00 square meters of space across Australia, China, India and Indo-China.
  • Rapid ROI: easier to use and more flexible than traditional tools, Infios CLASS software delivered results in the first 90 days and is expected to pay for itself in 12 months.

“We have used CLASS for at least eight projects so far and have yet to find a layout design or task we cannot simulate. We are confident that the software will pay for itself within 12 months, if it has not already.”
