Keywords:
Reinforcement Learning, Warehouse Management, Labor Optimization, Order Picking, Robotic Sortation, Operational Efficiency, Supply Chain, Smart LogisticsAbstract
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) has revolutionized warehouse management and labor optimization. Among the various AI methodologies, Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful tool to address complex logistical challenges by enabling intelligent systems to learn and adapt dynamically. This paper explores the role of RL in warehouse management, emphasizing dynamic order picking, robotic sortation, labor management, and overall optimization. The research incorporates case studies from leading industry players, analyzing real-world applications of RL in improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing labor productivity. Furthermore, this paper examines the challenges and future implications of RL adoption in warehouse settings, providing insights into how this technology can shape the future of logistics and supply chain management.
