Induct totes or cartons to carts, instead of bots

Our current Locus One Warehouse Execution Platform allows us to induct totes/cartons to bots. With Vector, one of the key advantages is that induction and deduction of carts can be decoupled from human activity. That drives the queueing and induct...
