About
Hardik Rathod is a researcher at the forefront of logistics and warehousing optimization, with a primary focus on cross-docking systems and block-stacking warehouse (BSW) design. His most notable contribution is the development of CROSSStacks, a comprehensive dataset and simulative framework that systematically evaluates storage allocation strategies for cross-docking facilities. This work addresses a critical gap in logistics research: while cross-docking ideally moves goods directly from inbound to outbound docks, real-world operations often require temporary storage, and Rathod’s study provides the first dedicated tool for analyzing how autonomous storage systems can be optimized in such environments. With 1 citation to date, this foundational paper lays the groundwork for future advancements in warehouse automation. Rathod’s research is particularly impactful for students and practitioners in industrial engineering and supply chain management, offering both a practical dataset and a simulation methodology that bridges theoretical models with real-world constraints. His work underscores the growing importance of data-driven decision-making in modern logistics, positioning him as an emerging voice in the field of autonomous warehousing and storage allocation strategies.
