Multi-picker picks

Now that high-payload robots are joining the locus family (Vector, Max), it is plausible that some heavier/bulkier items to be picked may be marked as two-person lift, for example Window Air Conditioning units, etc.


Since LocusNet requires the picker to scan his/her badge at the start of a pick, it would be possible to have an option where, for items labeled as two-person lifts, LN enforces compliance with OSHA/ergonomics guidelines by requiring two pickers to pick the item. Once picked, the item would have in its record as having been picked by Person 1 AND person 2.

    Thanks Nick. I think this moves us into a new area. Trying to help enforce rules (local, site, OSHA) isn't one we've taken on yet. Worth considering, but I'd want to make sure we understand what's required of us. Certainly a good idea to indicate 2 person lift required (assuming WMS can pass it to Locus.
