The Co-operative Group Warehouse Modeling with K.Sight CLASS
Case study showing how The Co-operative Group adopted K.Sight CLASS to model warehouses, import WMS data, and simulate site traffic for design decisions.
The Co-operative Group replaced external architects and an older modeling tool with K.Sight CLASS after testing its 3D graphics, WMS data import, and Site Traffic Yard module. The team modeled a new Scottish CDC, assessed de-kit area congestion, and evaluated pick-by-line processes using in-house staff. Results included faster model building, clearer board presentations, and reduced reliance on consultants.
K.Sight CLASS imports live WMS data for accurate warehouse simulation
3D fly-through videos replaced architect renderings for senior management reviews
Site Traffic Yard module quantified congestion and validated bay capacity
Pick-by-line scenarios were tested to measure efficiency gains versus pick-by-store
In-house modeling reduced external consulting costs and shortened project cycles
