Abstract: The present solution in which some embodiments is referred to as Autonomous Labor Intelligent Dynamic Assignment (ALIDA) solves the logistics industry challenges by smartly managing work assignments and distributing that work to people, robots and material handling equipment “MHE” for improved efficiency and utilization. The systems eliminates the need for manual decisions and complicated integrations. The system can also be applied to but not limited to manufacturing operations and healthcare facilities.

Abstract: A method for configuring a task process of a work flow engine includes (a) providing a plurality of tasks selectable via a user interface of a task configurator, each task being an execution type or an action type task and (b) receiving a first selection of a first one or more tasks of the plurality of tasks corresponding to the execution type. The method further includes (c) receiving a second selection of a second one or more tasks corresponding to the action type, (d) receiving a selection of one or more paths between the first one or more tasks and the second one or more tasks, and (e) assembling the first one or more tasks and the second one or more tasks into a task process comprising an execution sequence of the first one or more tasks and the second one or more tasks.

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and non-transitory processor readable media of the various embodiments enable intelligent speed control of conveyors (e.g., singulator conveyors, sortation conveyors, etc.) in a material handling system.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and non-transitory processor-readable storage media enabling the characterization of the current states of labor distribution and improved labor distribution management within distribution centers. In an embodiment, a computing device may be configured to analyze data related to the workloads of various tasks performed in a distribution center as well as data related to labor to determine state information that represent whether the tasks are adequately staffed for a given time and generate and/or display graphical information related to the adequacy of labor distribution for the various tasks of the distribution center. The computing device may assign state indicators that code, rank, or otherwise characterize the current labor distribution for tasks. The computing device may re-assign workers to various tasks performed within a distribution center by transmitting messages that re-assign a worker to a new zone and/or task.

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and non-transitory processor readable storage media of the various embodiments enable warehouse control system automated processes to be dynamically created and changed by users. In the various embodiments, warehouse control system automated processes may be table based. In an embodiment, a user may download additional automated processes tables to add new automated processes to a warehouse control system. In another embodiment, a user may select the order and/or make-up of tasks forming the sub-processes of an automated process table.
