Dynamic Cubby Logic

摘要

Systems, methods, devices, and non-transitory media of the various embodiments provide dynamic cubby logic that enables cubbies of a put wall to be assigned to orders as items for the orders are received at the put wall. In an embodiment, batches or waves of orders may be generated and released without cubbies of a put wall assigned to the orders. As the first item for an order is detected at the put wall a cubby from the available cubbies of the put wall may be selected for the order and all items of the order may be assigned the selected cubby. The cubby may be selected from the available cubbies based at least in part on a priority among the cubbies of the put wall.

主权项

1. A method for operating a put wall, comprising:
generating, in a server, a batch of one or more orders each having one or more items without assigning any cubbies of the put wall for the orders; releasing, in the server, the batch; sending, from the server, a pick command for each item of each order of the batch in response to releasing the batch; determining, in the server, when a first item of a first order of the batch is detected in a vicinity of the put wall; determining, in the server, available cubbies of the put wall in response to determining the first item of the first order is detected in the vicinity of the put wall; selecting, in the server, one of the available cubbies; and assigning, in the server, the selected cubby to all items of the first order.
