LOKARELA – Aisle Routing Module

Design and evaluate material-flow routes with the LOKARELA Aisle Routing Module.

Run LOKARELA App in : Rekanalar

This premium extension expands LOKARELA with grid-based aisle network analysis. It uses your facility block layout and From-To Chart to calculate travel distances, flow-distance costs, route accessibility, and the effects of obstacles on material movement.

KEY FEATURES

• Use layouts generated by CORELAP or improved by CRAFT

• Generate a grid-based aisle network

• Calculate orthogonal routes between departments

• Use From-To Chart data as the material-flow basis

• Measure route distance and flow-distance cost

• Identify reachable and unreachable routes

• Add or remove obstacles interactively

• Adjust grid scale and layout clearance

• Visualize selected material-flow routes

• Include Aisle Routing results in the LOKARELA report

SUITABLE FOR

• Facility layout planning

• Material handling system evaluation

• Manufacturing and warehouse layout studies

• Industrial engineering education

• Academic research

• Preliminary analysis before detailed simulation

• Comparing facility layout alternatives

REQUIRED DATA

• Department or facility data

• A block layout generated by CORELAP or CRAFT

• A From-To Chart containing positive flow values

ANALYSIS OUTPUTS

• Visual aisle network

• Routes between departments

• Travel distance for each route

• Flow-distance cost

• Reachable and unreachable route counts

• Total route distance

• Total flow-distance cost

• A dedicated Aisle Routing section in the LOKARELA report

REQUIREMENTS

This is an add-on module and requires a compatible version of the LOKARELA application. The base LOKARELA application is distributed separately.

The module is delivered as a .lokmod package and must be imported through the LOKARELA Module Manager.
