We would like to allow for an advanced CM setup where we can use LPs 2 times. So in this case above set up 1 bot per LP only, but with a max of an aisle section (7 LPs in this case).

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved
Currently we can only use a LP ones to set up Congestion Management. In attached aisle section we want to limit the number of bots to 2 per aisle section (aisle section with 7 LPs in total) and we want to allow a max of 1 bot per LP only to avoid LP blocked and bots stopping anywhere (also blocking the other aisle/center cut through. We would want to set up a combination of multiple rules adding up to the CM setup |

Quantify the problem/opportunity
We observed that some bots were on LP BLOCKED as the AISLE max was 2 bots, so they are not restricted to drive to the LP while another bot is blocking the location. And we saw LP blocked bots waiting in the aisle showing LP blocked --> and we often see LP blocked with bots stopping anywhere really - also blocking the main corridor in the middle that is set up for directional traffic. We want to have the option to better guide traffic and congestion and set up multiple rules for an LP to allow for the best possible combination for the CM setup |

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity
The customer has mainly aisles where bots cannot pass, so we need to limit/steer traffic. But we want still allow as many as possible. Right now we don't have the option to set up CM rules to use an LP twice. |
