If a bot has at least one completed pick, they would like the bot to timeout and return to drop-off after a configurable amount of time.
Problem/opportunity trying to be solved
Amazon requested this feature in a batch-picking environment. They are concerned with long cycle times and bots dwelling excessively long times. If a bot has at least one completed pick, they would like the bot to timeout and return to drop-off after a configurable amount of time. It would return the standard PickComplete message at dropoff that reports the completed and uncompleted work. |

Quantify the problem/opportunity
The benefit to the client is unclear other than they prefer this passive self-management approach to actively managing it by chasing down dwelling bots. The benefit to Locus is this client has many similiar buildings that would require 100+ bots each. |
|
What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity
Bots dwelling excessively because they are abandoned or not seen. |
