Methods and Approaches for Optimizing Warehouse Layouts to Reduce the Carbon Footprint of E-Commerce Fulfillment (Published)
The possibility of distribution of the warehouse is formed by leg load and travel distances, a cycle of fees for equipment and construction services, and thus the intensity of the carbon supply of electronic trading. This overview consolidates evidence from 15 colleagues reviewed by empirical and simulation studies to identify the methods and perspectives of CO2E reduction by working on storage, directing collectors, configuration of zone, automation of goods and energy in the system. After screening with Prism, we have extracted comparable results using network and fuel factors used by the energy converted into CO2E and, if possible, synthesized percentage changes in the random effect with moderators’ analysis (technology, demand density and emission factors). In the corpus, convergence conclusions indicate that storage -based policies and energy nunes travel continuously and reduce energy use; Manual selection in links to the density of the goods when the mixture mixture is not carbon intensity; And intelligent lighting, HVAC and customized charging strategies create additive savings. Formally, we recommend the structure formally → distance/time → energy → CO2E- and as a general functional unit for design evaluation as CO2E on order. The consequences include a staged retrofit plan that prefers storage/routing, with a sensitivity probe for energy mixtures. The boundaries include the model and announcement of asymmetry. The contribution is closed with instructions for future research and instructions for reporting for warehouse LCA.
