Abstract: A wall includes first and second shelves defining a space therebetween and each have bottom and top surfaces, the top being planar and smooth between induction and outlet sides. A track assembly on the bottom of the first shelf defines guides parallel with the induction and outlet sides and defining sequential slots. A partition has top and bottom portions telescopically coupled for relative vertical translation between a first position, where pins of the bottom portion anchor within receptacles of the second shelf, and a second position, in which the pins are remote from the receptacles. Rollers coupled to the top portion roll along the guides to translate the partition therealong. Locking members opposite the rollers each slide along a latch structure between a locked position in which a locking pin resides within one of the slots and an unlocked position in which the locking pin is remote from each slot.

Abstract: Mobile modules including a number of bins or other storage units may be formed in a modular manner, from various sub-modules. The mobile modules may be loaded with items by a sortation system or by associates. A bin within a mobile module may be selected and assigned to an order for a plurality of items, and each of the items included in the order may be deposited into the selected bin. After a sufficient number of bins within the mobile module have been filled with ordered items, the mobile module may be loaded into or onto a delivery vehicle and transported to a location from which the ordered items may be delivered to a customer, e.g., by an autonomous mobile robot or by an associate.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a configurable lighting system that can be used to redefine the size of the storage areas holding items. When changing the dimensions of the storage areas, an associate may also want to change the assignment of lights disposed near the storage areas. To do so, the configurable lighting system includes a series of lights disposed along a first axis and a set of confirmation devices corresponding to the series of lights. The lighting system can receiving first and second input signals from the set of confirmation devices and identify a first subset of the series of lights corresponding to the first input signal and a second subset of the series of lights corresponding to the second input signal. The first and second subsets can define respective lengths of first and second storage areas when illuminated.
