Associates can pre-make bin arrays by inducting the items into each slot and stage it at the induction area. When a putaway robot shows up, the bin array can be inducted by scanning the master barcode.
Problem/opportunity trying to be solved
When inducting returns items into a bin array (6, 12, 16 ... position bin array, for example), the bot has to wait until all the items have been inducted, or the associate has to wait if there is no bot waiting in the induction queue. |
