Hello,
I am an intern at a logistics company and my mission is to re-implant the general store in order to optimize the stocks!! I wanted to know if there is software that allows you to create a plan for this warehouse and to include all storage supports (pallet racks, storage cabinets, etc...)
It would be nice if someone among you could provide a solution.

Hello to you,
There are surely specialized software, but not knowing your field very well, I would suggest two programs that seem relevant for your task. These two programs are Microsoft Visio and Mega.
Visio allows you to create a multitude of diagrams. Mega does as well. I have notably created UML architecture diagrams using the latter.
But if you can't find anything, I think the best option is to use Visio because, on the one hand, it is easier to find, and on the other hand, you can very easily export it to common formats (images, pdf, etc.). You can also add images to make your plan more understandable.

In this case, take a look over here:

Even if Visio is much more aesthetically pleasing than Dia for example :/

The pallet racks being modular both in height and depth as well as in intervals, we do not see much need to make a plan.
A simple calculation: Number of racks in length = Building length - (number of aisles x aisle width) / cell length (3m; 4m or 6m).
And similarly in width, with the depth of the racks.
Can I add details such as pallet racks or locations intended for merchandise with appropriate support in any of these software?
