Ability to induct multiple totes (when using 2 or 3 level shelf) to batch pick singles
|
Problem/opportunity trying to be solved
Helpful when we are required to use customer's existing totes to make sure they are conveyeable in a multi-floor conveyor environment |
|
|
Quantify the problem/opportunity
This will avoid work arounds/WMS/WCS changes and new tote ID creation for singles and multis. Example Tote ID: SXXXX for singles and MXXXX for multis to allow the conveyor scanner identify totes for sortation |
|
|
What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity
Locked into using existing tote and conveyors in a multi-level pick tower feeding to packstations and putwalls |

Adding on to this FragranceNet. They have a tote clearance max of 15.5" so one singles tote is not practical on a origin bot. Looking to have 1, 2, or 3 singles tote.

Dan, is there any update on where this landed? I have a prospect (fun.com) looking to sign in the next week or two who would require this functionality to meet projected peak productivities. They are tentatively planning go-live for 7-15-22 and they would need this functionality no later than 9-1-22.
Northbay Distribution - Vacaville,CA would benefit form this. Their existing totes require a 26.5��� shelf and we severely limit their singles capacity but only inducting to one tote.

Hi All,
I would like to add that this is needed for the DHL Zalando Poland case that we're working on. Picking singles into 2 600x400mm totes is required.
Also including the need for this at Sephora and Ascena. Both sites require all totes to be conveyable. Picking Singles to a larger tote isn't feasible for these sites.
Tagging on to this need for Fun.com. Currently batch picking singles to totes but don't have the ability to switch to a large bin due to the need to convey the totes.
Hi Harsh, Understood, we have moved this to Gate 3 - Engineering Vetting, we'll have a response back to you within 10 working days as to next steps.
Hi Dan, Based on the below classification, it is not "urgent". We discussed this project during kick-off with CS and OSD and thought this feature could be helpful and if we can get it by go-live. Many other sites and prospect opportunities could benefit - anywhere we have a shelf + batch picking.
Harsh, you have highlighted this as an urgent request, from reading it I dont think it fits any of these 3 reasons, please confirm:
•(Pre contract) - A customer is making us contractually commit to a feature in-order to close a deal that falls within the current release window
•(Deployment) - A feature that is a must have for Go Live that falls within the current release window i.e. its currently November, Go live is February, therefore it needs to be in the January release
•(Post Deployment) - A site is not performing at its planned productivity levels and a new feature is identified/ requested to address the gap in performance
Are there any other customers this applicable for?
Not really - this is particularly focused on batch picking of singles. Currently we can only induct one tote ID. If there is a 2 or 3 level shelf for multis, we either need a hinged shelf or a tray to hold a large tote or induct just one of the multis tote and run rest of the shelf empty.
