Multi-Floor Pick & Pass: For order with items on 2 floors Merged

For order with items on 2 floors, enable induct/dropoff on one floor and then move for induct/dropoff for another floor. Sample outline of use case for Quiet Jackson:

  • Orders will be inducted onto new Floor 3 (Zone D) first if it contains only items from Zone D or items from Zone D and Zone B (mezz).

  • For orders containing D&B items

    • Induct D&B orders onto bot at Zone D induct

      • Same induct for D and D&B orders

    • Pick D items for D&B orders until complete

    • Bot goes to Zone D dropoff for D&B orders

      • Plan to have different dropoff for D&B orders vs D orders

    • Remove tote & move to Zone B induct on mezz

      • Note: To minimize travel distance, Quiet would like to have new induct location on mezz near lift area across from Zone D induct

    • Induct tote with D&B orders onto bot at Zone B induct

    • Pick B items for D&B orders until complete

    • Bot goes to Zone B dropoff

    • Remove tote & place on conveyor

    • Conveyor moves tote from mezz to end of conveyor on ground floor near packout

    • Remove tote & move to packout station

    • Pack & ship order
