Feature would enable the map to change automatically when certain conditions are met. If a Vector enters an aisle, it may need to become a 1-way aisle or even a no-go aisle for other Vectors as well as Origins. Similarly, if an aisle that a Vector needs to use has Origins in it, then the Vector doesn't enter it. Or, if the Vector has higher priority picks/puts than the Origins do, then the Origins may leave the aisle so the Vector can enter.

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved
While an aisle may be wide enough for a Vector and an Origin to physically pass each other, it may not be desirable for the overall design. It may be best for an aisle to become 1-way when a Vector is in it. |

Quantify the problem/opportunity
In the use case we have in mind, it would result in $450k in revenue to be able to deploy Vectors for full case putaway |

|
What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity
Root cause is that Vectors with 6x2 carts and Origins operating within 6'5" aisles present issues. The safety space required around a Vector makes it so the Vector wouldn't proceed and would add to congestion. |
