Abstract
Disclosed is a Warehouse Management System (WMS) for optimizing storage and retrieval of a Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) present in a warehouse. A pallet identification module identifies one or more pallets capable for storing a plurality of SKUs. A notifying module notifies a first operator for storing the plurality of SKUs in the one or more pallets. A database update module updates an address of each pallet in a WMS database. A pickup list module provides a pickup list comprising one or more SKUs to be retrieve. A determination module determines at least one pallet and a second operator from the one or more pallets and a plurality of second operators respectively. An operator guiding module guides the second operator, via a virtual map displayed on the AR enabled device, to the address of the at least one pallet in order to retrieve the one or more SKUs.
