In today's warehouse, speed is not the only currency. Intelligence in movement — of people, materials, and machines— is increasingly defining operational excellence.
Unproductive travel is one of the most persistent forms of waste in supply chain execution. Workers and equipment often return empty from every putaway or picking, only to be sent across the facility again for another task resulting in..
As volume and velocity rise,this inefficiency multiplies. That’s why leaders are turning to a smarter solution — Stackbox WMS’s Intelligent Orchestration which enables Advanced Interleaving for Human Operators and Autonomous Robots.
What is Advanced Interleaving?
Advanced Interleaving is part of Stackbox’s intelligent orchestration engine that reduce unproductive travel by:
How It Works
1. Task Fusion: Putaway, picking and Internal movement tasks are combined whenthey’re physically close, minimizing empty return trips.
2. Proximity-Based Assignment: Tasks are auto-assigned to the most optimal picker, forklift, or AMRbased — not just the next free one or the nearest one.
3. Real-Time Optimization: Live reordering of task queues based on movement patterns,congestion, or zone-specific load.
4. Cross-Mode Coordination: Works across human and automated actors — from BOPTs to ARMs and AGVs.
The Results That Matter
From deployments across global CPG, Retailand 3PL sites, including high-SKU environments:
30–35% reduction in overall worker and forklift travel distance
20–25% increase in labor productivity
Lower fuel and energy usage in MHE
Improved picker safety, reduced fatigue
Shorter order cycle times
“Our forklifts now move with a purposeevery time. Stackbox’s interleaving brought instant gains in productivity.”

Stackbox transforms warehouses from task-based execution to route-optimized orchestration.
What Powers It?
Stackbox Interleaving is driven by our:
These components work together to ensurethe next best move is always the most productive one.
Final Takeaway
In a world of tight labor markets andrising operational costs, interleaving is a strategic advantage. Ithelps you:
If your WMS is still assigning tasks inisolation — you’re operating with built-in inefficiency.
With Stackbox Advanced Interleaving,every movement, whether human or robotic, serves a purpose. It’s not just aboutmoving faster — it’s about moving smarter.
