Sections overview

You can organize your facility into sections. Sections include:

  • Travel

    Travel sections organize the facility into specific areas of aisles with similar characteristics. You can configure travel within and between sections precisely to accurately identify the valid travel paths across the facility. The Distance Engine uses the travel section and connection records to calculate travel distances and convert the distance to travel time for standards calculations.

  • Drawing lines

    To monitor travel routes, the system uses a graphical engine to display a visual representation of your facility: all of your travel sections, connections, aisles, and locations. You can use the Drawing Line to add reference lines to the drawings the graphical engine generates. The system displays the lines based on the color and position you assign.

  • Configuration Viewer

    The Configuration Viewer provides the ability to review system-calculated travel paths within and between your defined travel sections. Additionally, you can view information about individual locations and zones as well as aisle and access point information for each travel section.
