Examples
These pages show you two different examples, a routing example and a batching example. In these examples, you can test interactively a number of routing methods. Routes are visualised, so you can learn about the behaviour of the routing methods. Also, you can make your own routes to pick all products from storage by moving your mouse through the virtual warehouse. In the batching example, you can try to batch several orders yourself.
Just follow one of the two links on the left.

| average speed outside the aisles | 1.5 m/s | 2.0 m/s |
| average number of lines per order | 25 | 8 |
| administration time | 100 seconds | 175 seconds |
