Abstract: A method, system and product for using multiple packing stations in delivery of goods. A packing scheme is determined for an order based on an optimality criteria, the scheme comprising a division of a set of items between packing stations, whereby defining one or more subsets of the set of items. The packing scheme further comprising an ordering of the one or more subsets and packing stations paired therewith, by which ordering the paired packing stations are to be utilized for packing the set of items and transporting thereof to the destination, wherein in each packing station, a respective portion of the set of items is to be packed and transported therefrom. Responsive to the optimality criteria being met, instructions for executing the order are issued, whereby the set of items are packed and transported according to the packing scheme.

Abstract: An inventory handling system includes multiple shelving units for mounting over a horizontal floor. Each shelving unit contains a vertical array of shelves on which containers are placed. One or more floor robots travel among the shelving units along first paths on the floor. One or more lift robots move independently of the floor robots along second paths in a vertical plane over vertical faces of the shelving units, and transfer the containers between the shelves and the floor robots.

Abstract: An inventory handling system (20, 150) includes multiple shelving units (22) for mounting over a horizontal floor (24). Each shelving unit contains a vertical array of shelves (28) on which containers (30) are placed. One or more floor robots (36) travel among the shelving units along first paths on the floor. One or more lift robots (32, 80, 120, 152) move independently of the floor robots along second paths in a vertical plane over vertical faces of the shelving units, and transfer the containers between the shelves and the floor robots.
