Warehouse Design and Operation using Augmented Reality technology: A Papermaking Industry Case Study Dimitris Mourtzis a ·*, Vasilios Samothrakis a , Vasilios Zogopoulos a , Ekaterini Vlachou a In modern, high competitive markets, efficient warehousing is critical as it accounts for a great part of logistics costs. Companies try to adopt highly adaptive and flexible warehouse design that may support the integration of novel technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR). This paper proposes a framework for warehouse design which minimizes inventory cost while keeping a high degree of service by supporting the integration of an AR warehousing system. The AR system will support the effective management of operations, by providing meaningful information. The proposed methodology is tested and validated in a real- life case study of a papermaking industry.
