Abstract: A pick assist system may include a pallet destacker storing a front column of pallets and a back column of pallets. At least one rfid reader is configured to read an rfid tag on a pallet in or below at least one of the front column of pallets or the back column of pallets. The pick assist system may include a pallet sled including a display indicating a product to be retrieved. The pallet sled may determine that the product has been placed in a center of a pallet on the pallet sled. A method for verifying a pallet may include identifying skus on exterior products in a layer in a stack of products. Based upon that determination, the skus of the interior products may also be determined. For example, it may be determined that the interior products were part of a layer pick.

Abstract: A pick assist system helps to ensure that each pallet is built accurately. Further, the pick assist system may also help to ensure that the products on each pallet are arranged in a way so that the loaded pallet will be stable and will be efficient to unload. A pallet sled includes a base and a pair of tines extending from the base. The pallet sled further includes a display. At least one processor is programmed to provide a series of instructions on the display indicating a plurality of products to be placed on at least one pallet supported by the tines.
