Induct multiple bin arrays onto same robot

We have encountered many scenarios where inducting multiple bin arrays onto a robot would be beneficial. Especially useful for shelf systems, and would help enable divided totes. Totes is important where conveyability is required.

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved

Currently only a single bin array is supported on a robot mission. Supporting more than one bin array creates user interface and tote array labeling problems. There are existing customers having issues getting order density on robots. Also, sales sees this feature as very desirable with potential new customers in the marketplace.

Quantify the problem/opportunity

There are opportunities with Saddle Creek, Sephora SLC.

North Bay Distribution - Janie & Jack - Benicia, CA would benefit from this.

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity

Limitation of our bots software to support hierarchical (nested) bin identification.

    North Bay Distribution - Janie & Jack - Benicia, CA would benefit from this. They are an existing customer having issues getting order density on robots and can only use a limited set of tote arrays given the steep vertical and 90 degree turns of their existing conveyor.

    This would work well for the Sephora SLC site. Currently proposed design will require them to scan individual labeled partitions in totes like they're inducting boxes.

Support More Than 1 Tote Array for Multi-SKU Tote Pick or Putaway Workflow

Merged
Problem Locus only supports 1 multi-SKU tote for putaway induction, put and dropoff. Proposed There are situations where more than 1 multi-SKU tote could fit on a bot with a box shelf. This would enable more putaway jobs per bot mission.
