Waredraw: free warehouse layout planner

Waredraw is a free warehouse layout planner that runs in your browser. Draw racks, aisles, dock doors, zones, columns and equipment on a scaled grid with real measurements. Pallet positions, storage density, aisle widths and clearances are calculated as you edit. No account, and your layout never leaves your computer.

What you can plan

• Building shell, walls with doors, columns, dock doors with aprons and levellers, fire exits.
• Pallet racking (selective, double-deep, drive-in, drive-through, push-back, pallet flow, shuttle, mobile), shelving, cantilever and garment rails.
• Aisles sized for the truck: reach truck, counterbalance, VNA, pallet jack.
• Zones by purpose, floor stacking, traffic lanes, walkways, yard roads and truck parking.
• Flows between areas with travel distances, numbered comments and dimension lines.

What it calculates

• Pallet positions per bay, per rack run and in total, with both pallet orientations.
• Usable floor area and storage density per 100 m² and per 1,000 sq ft.
• Aisle width checks, rack-to-wall and rack-to-column clearances, zones without an exit, unreachable rack rows.
• Average and maximum travel distance between areas, such as from a dock to every bay of a rack run.

Exports

PNG, PDF with title block and scale bar, SVG, DXF for AutoCAD, and CSV files: rack bill of materials, object list, and every pallet location with its code, ready to import into a warehouse management system.

Questions

Is Waredraw free?

Yes. Waredraw is free to use with no account and no sign-up. It is made by Waresify, a warehouse management system for teams that run their own warehouse.

Does my layout get uploaded anywhere?

No. Waredraw runs entirely in your browser. Layouts are saved as .wbl files on your computer and autosaved in your browser's local storage. Nothing about your layout is sent to a server.

Can I export my warehouse layout to AutoCAD?

Yes. The DXF export uses AutoCAD R12 with named layers for racks, aisles, zones, pallets and text, drawn at real size in the document's units. You can also import an architect's DXF or a PDF plan as a background to trace over.

How are pallet positions counted?

For each rack run Waredraw works out bays from the clear beam length, pallets per bay from the pallet size and side clearance, and levels from the beam heights, including an optional floor level. Every result lists the assumptions it used.

Can I use the locations in a WMS?

Yes. Number your racks and Waredraw gives every pallet place a code such as A01-03-B-1. The locations CSV lists them all and imports into Waresify or any warehouse system that reads CSV.
