Locus Robotics Ideas Portal
In the image here where the bot iPad shows a yellow backdrop to signify the yellow shelf position needing the put items taken from it, instead have that yellow correspond to the bin position's color -OR- have a separate small indicator of bin color as a reference. I presume this means the customer would have to add something into the message, be it in a custom field or otherwise, to indicate which shelf color to use as we wouldn't likely do any kind of lookup..

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved
At Hanes Rural Hall, throughout the site the bins on each racking level are marked with specific colors (Level A = green, Level B = red, etc.). The idea was raised during an on-site visit by Jasmine, Bill and Emily as a potential feature to increase pick/put accuracy by having the bot iPad match the color of the bin of the task location. |

Quantify the problem/opportunity
Hanes has close to 100 Origins on site and has been a strong customer, although I don't believe I've seen other sites using bin color schemes by racking level. |

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity
Pick accuracy and colors of bins conflicting with what's shown on the iPad (plus the bot's tote colors). The site has had pick accuracy issues before where shelf wrap colors conflicted with the tote colors. |
