Segments

A Segment contains one or more locations, and thus typically represents racking. However, locations cannot exist outside of a Segment, regardless of whether or not the actual point in the warehouse is at a rack location. Segments are associated to Aisle Paths; no Segment can exist without an Aisle Path.

Please refer to the Segment tab of the current "SOP for XYZ Importing" Excel spreadsheet.

^{Table 42. Segment Examples}

Field	Description
Segment ID	ID of the segment.
Segment Name	Name of the segment.
Aisle Name	Name of the aisle path to which the segment is associated.
Inset	Distance from the aisle starting point to the segment.
Offset	Distance from aisle axis to the segment.
Width	Width of the segment.
Length	Length of the segment.
Numbering Scheme	This is for future development, and thus not currently available in this version of ProTrack Warehouse. This is a mandatory field, so populate with the default value from the table above.
Numbering Direction	This is for future development, and thus not currently available in this version of ProTrack Warehouse. This is a mandatory field, so populate with the default value in from the table above.
Start Bay Number	This is for future development, and thus not currently available in this version of ProTrack Warehouse. This is a mandatory field, so populate with the default value from the table above.
Number of Bays	This is for future development, and thus not currently available in this version of ProTrack Warehouse. This is a mandatory field, so populate with the default value from the table above.
Orientation	Orientation of the Segment as it relates to the Aisle Path.
Description	Description of the segment.

In the example illustrations that follow, the blue shaded area is the segment. Each cell is 2' by 2', so the width of the segment is 4'.

Tip

title	Tips

Segments cannot intersect a node.
Locations must reside within the coordinates that the Segment occupies. Travel is not calculated from the center of the aisle to the front of the rack, so often times, centering the Segment on its corresponding Aisle Path is easiest. This can be accomplished by using Orientation = Left, Width = 4, and Offset = -2.
When making segments in an aisle with a cross aisle in the middle, the inset should be based off the starting X,Y coordinate. For example, the racks are laid out going west to east and there is a cross aisle in the middle going south to north. The left portion will have an inset of 1 from the starting X,Y coordinate but the right portion should have an inset of the starting X to the cross aisle plus 1.
