Changes happen every day. How well does your distribution or fulfillment operation adapt to them.

Optimize Your Operation At Unheard Of Speeds

VARGO® Adaptive Software specializes in real-time optimization to…

  • Increase productivity
  • Reduce labor
  • Increase capacity

The highlight of our applications is the ability to dynamically adapt to exceptions and changes that occur in normal operations. VARGO® Adaptive Software continually monitors ongoing operations and re-evaluates the actions necessary to meet the changing needs. These features provide a system where the current physical conditions are “modeled” by the system—as opposed to a system that forces the physical conditions to model its data.

Real-time optimization allows for…

Dynamic labor balancing

  • Real-time, system-directed labor balancing across multiple work zones
  • Based on current priorities and workload demands
  • Synchronizes the operation of all work zones
  • Accounts for “zone transfer” penalties in excessive worker movements

Sorting machine optimization

  • Real-time optimized decision item sortation
  • Increased sortation capacity by 28 percent
  • Reduced “problem orders” by 75 percent
  • Reduced processing labor
  • Allows workers to work to their own capacity

Next-order optimization

  • Real-time decision of the next order to release
  • Based on order priority, ship requirements, order ages, picker locations and available inventory
  • Allows nearly immediate processing of priority orders
  • Determines what orders are “not picked” in resource-limited operating conditions

Revolving batch picking

  • Elimination of low productivity wave transition periods
  • Maximized continuous resource utilization
  • Leveling of processes, eliminating harmonic peaks and valleys behavior
