This screen will provide details to how XYZs should be imported to configure a proper layout of the facility.

Sequence of Operations - Importing XYZs Start-to-Finish

The process of importing XYZs can be summarized as follows:

1. Assuming all facilities are set up already, import floors.
2. Import Aisle Paths.
3. Import Travel Paths.
4. Generate Nodes via the Facility Layout Java applet screen.
5. Import Segments.
6. Import Locations (Levels are imported with Locations simultaneously).
7. Build a pre-cache of node-to-node travel.
8. OPTIONAL: Build a pre-cache of location-to-location travel.

Refer to Data Import to learn how to configure ProTrack Warehouse in order to import each XYZ component data.

When importing a floor, the most important thing to consider is the size. All other components that are part of the layout will error out if they do not fall inside the coordinates of the floor. It is recommended that you know the coordinates of most of your components before deciding the size of the floor. That is not to say the size cannot be changed at any point, but doing your research beforehand can save a great deal of time and effort down the road.

Floors

• Duplicate Floor ID
• Missing a mandatory field
• Data in the wrong format
• Sending a non-existent Facility ID
• Same start and end coordinates

Aisle Paths

• Duplicate Aisle Path ID
• Missing a mandatory field
• Data in the wrong format
• Same start and end point
• Invalid Floor ID
• One point of the Aisle Path falls off the floor
• Two Aisle Paths are identical
• An Aisle Path with the same coordinates as a Travel Path
