Abstract

See full text

A height-aware item retrieval assignment system (“HIRS”) may facilitate height-aware assignment of mobile shelving units (“MSUs”) to operators during item retrieval. The HIRS may associate various operators with stations of varying heights on which the operators may stand or sit for item retrieval. Coverage may be based on effective item retrieval height zones, which may overlap such that possible shelving heights of MSUs may be reached by one or more of the operators at their associated stations. Upon receipt of an order of items to be retrieved from an MSU, the HIRS may assign the MSU based on the received height information. The HIRS may also adjust heights of the stations rather than relying on stations of fixed heights.
