Welcome to this step-by-step walkthrough of Loc Builder. In this guide, we’ll take you through the process of configuring the green bays in the example warehouse layout. By the end of this walkthrough, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to structure and optimize your storage configuration by including drive-through areas. Let’s get started.

STEP 1: UNDERSTANDING THE GREEN BAYS

First, let’s look at the green bays, which run along the centre of the warehouse layout. These are drive-through bays, meaning they do not include the first three levels and instead have four levels of pallets on top.

The green bays are 4 pallets high, starting at levels 30 and ending at level 60, with three positions per bay (A, B, and C).

STEP 2: CONFIGURE THE GREEN BAYS IN LOC BUILDER

To configure these bays in Loc Builder:

• Start the aisles at AA and end at AJ.
• And omit aisle AI.
• We want to start on bay 023 and end on bay 024.
• With no bays to omit.
• And the increment value of 1.
• For the levels, use a double-numeric format, starting at 30, with 4 levels, and increments of 10.
• Set three positions per bay (A, B, and C).
  • Looking back at the diagram, there are 3 positions needed to achieve the required width of the drive-through area. Coming back into Loc Builder,

STEP 3: CREATE A SINGLE GREEN BAY

Next, we need to create a single bay in aisle AK.

• Go back into Loc Builder.
• Set the starting value to AK and ending value to AK.
• In the bays values, start at 024 and end at 024.
• Levels begin at 30, with 4 levels, incrementing by 10.
• Use three positions per bay (A, B, and C).

STEP 4: COMPLETION

That’s it! You have successfully created all the green bays in the warehouse layout, and configured these to the required height and width of the necessary drive-through area. You can now move forward with additional configurations or adjustments as needed. Join us in the next video to learn how to add levels of shelving to specific locations.

This concludes our walkthrough of setting up the yellow bay racks in Loc Builder. We’ve covered the layout structure, double-run aisles, single-run aisles, and finalizing the configurations. Join us in the next video to learn how to configure the drive-through areas required in the warehouse layout
