Order filling system

This invention describes a system for warehouses to handle customer orders more efficiently, especially those containing a mix of large and small items. It works by pre-sorting and storing bulky items in special bins, ready to be combined with other, smaller items from a separate automated system to complete an order. A computer predicts demand to decide which incoming items should be pre-sorted as bulky items.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced AI for logistics. The system's core intelligence, which relies on predicting demand for specific items, is now significantly more feasible and accurate due to advancements in machine learning and data processing since 2019.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobotics, software, demand prediction
