CUSTOM CONTAINER IN A MATERIALS HANDLING FACILITY

摘要

Described herein are systems and techniques for determining a pack station for storing inventory in a materials handling facility routing item packages to pack stations based on size ranges for custom containers and optimizing dimensions of custom containers based on dimensions of a shipping container. For example the systems described herein may allocate a percentage of inventory to a custom inventory location that is physically near custom container forming devices thereby reducing the cost to pick sort pack and route items for shipment storing or otherwise handling in a custom container.
