CAIRO, OMIs slot optimization application, is a solution developed to improve warehouse capacity and utilization.

Designed as a stand alone Windows NT application, CAIRO enables warehouse managers to significantly increase the productivity of order selectors and the stock picking operation.

The key to improving warehouse utilization is to maintain regular product location (slotting) methods. Without regular slot maintenance, the demands of seasonality rotation, constant supply and demand changes, and variations in products erode efficient picklines over time.

Poor product placement and inappropriate use of space will ultimately yield product damage, worker injury, and reduced throughput. Further, as your selectors navigate through an inefficient pickline, their search and travel times will soar. In addition, the risk of worker injury increases because of improper putaway and inefficient location/racking.

The CAIRO solution monitors the dynamic movement of items always in search for the optimal storage location and size.
