Create batch totes for like picks by splitting orderjobs for downstream consolidation by BG/ putwall

Locus will need to get putwall and slot status from BG and evaluate discrete orderjobs in the pool to create batch totes. Each mission will be entirely dropped off at a putwall. Locus will the communicate pick status and tote LPNs to the client WMS.

Locus BG batch ...

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved The prospect is looking for a solution for its high volume, low units per order operation, batch picking in a large tote by reducing the pick stops (combining like SKUs belonging to different orders) will result in lower number of bots. BG putwall will sort and consolidate these orders before packout.
Quantify the problem/opportunity Batch picking is attractive for prospects with very high volume in a considerably tight pick space. Discrete picking here would mean high robot counts & densities.
What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity For the BG solution to work, Locus can create batch totes by selecting like SKUs from different orderjobs. Result will be lower number of "effective" lines picked, and higher units per "effective" line.
