6 Conference 2016 What s new? Development history: WHL 4.6 (2016): Pallet processing on several material handling objects (e.g. Docks, staging) with/without resources. (De)activation of storage locations, no need to change the layout any longer. Greatly improved statistics representation. Earlier releases: Work areas: Allocation of activities to resources that are nearby. Updated 3D models & 3D functionality Black box storage to reduce modeling time Conference Welcome to Dolce Anna Chocolate
