FM Logistic
AlphaEvolve-generated warehouse picking algorithms
FM Logistic put AI-generated warehouse routing into production after a reported 10.4% efficiency gain
Problem
An existing warehouse routing algorithm made decisions sequentially, limiting coordination across picking routes at a Polish facility.
Approach
FM Logistic supplied its existing algorithm to Google's AlphaEvolve coding agent. Gemini generated variants that were evaluated against operational constraints and travel distance. The Polish pilot entered production.
Results
Takeaway
The deployed result was readable routing code that warehouse teams could adjust. Annual distance savings at full scale remained an extrapolation.
