Abstract

A system and method for dynamic allocation of delivery resources is described. In an example implementation, the system may determine floating and static geographic areas based on delivery data, generate an initial mapping associating the static geographic area with addresses and/or routes, and generate one or more periodic routes based on the initial mapping. In some instances, the system may compute a route-value target for each of the periodic routes based on a load of the periodic routes and may then assign one or more floating addresses located in the one or more geographic regions to the periodic routes based on the route-value target. In some instances, the system may determine a delivery vehicle load plan based on the assignment to the routes and may automatically perform a defined operation using the delivery vehicle load plan.

In some instances, the system may output pick instructions to a picker client device directing the picker to perform the tasks and may transport the carts to a defined point in the order fulfillment center in response to completion of the tasks.

Abstract

Technology for optimizing carton induction in an order fulfillment picking system is described. In an example embodiment, a method, implemented using one or more computing devices, may include receiving scan data reflecting status of cartons being conveyed by a conveying system, receiving confirmatory input reflecting pick completion for a subset of the cartons being conveyed by the conveying system, and generating an estimated time of arrival for one or more cartons not yet inducted into the conveying system based on the scan data and the confirmatory input. The method may further include generating a load forecast based on the estimated time of arrival and inducting one or more of the one or more cartons into the conveying system based on the load forecast.
