  • Publication number: 20240104496
    Abstract: Methods and systems and computer-readable media are provided for dual optimization of pick walk and tote fill rates in order picking. Embodiments provide improved order picking speed and quality by optimizing pick routing with consideration of both proximity constraints and tote value constraints. Tote value constraints can include constraints on carrying capacity, volume, size in a particular dimension, or weight capacity.

  • Patent number: 10810542
    Abstract: A system for fulfillment & optimization. The system includes an optimization engine that executes scenario simulations, wherein the scenario simulations generate pick information. The optimization engine selects a best scenario from at least two scenarios based on the scenario information. In response to the selection of the best scenario, the optimization engine configures a computing system to execute a zoning policy, a routing policy, and a base algorithm policy associated with the best scenario. The computing system executes the zoning policy, the routing policy, and the base algorithm policy to fulfill orders.
