Bot color for troubleshooting

They would like a functionality on the bot that they could trigger a color on the LEDs which is not used at the moment. They could somehow put the bot in a state that makes it visible for everybody that this bot is under investigation

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved

Its a similar request to what I described in LSA-I-1115. CEVA Oud Gastel de Ruif (Dr. Martens) is using bicycle lights they attached to the orange flags on the bot and turn them on in order to inform pickers this bot is not ready for picking. This to avoid unnessary walking realizign the item cannot be picked. Think about items not being replenishments, short pick the operators are not allowed to do themselves

Quantify the problem/opportunity

This happens regularly - average 30x per day

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity

CEVA is not able at the moment to release orders after replenishment and replenishments are triggered while running the waves. And they do not want their pickers to short picks and want Inventory to do this.

    I think there's already an idea, or even a Jira ticket, for this elsewhere, but with the idea of instead displaying a message on the iPad that says the bot is being used for investigation and to leave it alone.
