Ability to pre-make bin arrays for returns putaway Merged

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.

Quantify the problem/opportunity

Instead, the 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.

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity

Multiple items getting inducted in a large bin array adding to non-value added wait times for robots
