Problems solved by technology

Given the volume and space of items in the warehouse, these systems can be wasteful of staff time and labor, especially when ordered items are physically held far apart
In addition, the existing system cannot effectively control the picking steps of workers, because there is no effective communication with the central system when workers are picking items
For example, existing systems cannot confirm that employees are in the correct location and / or that workers have selected the correct item in the warehouse

Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure include a computer implemented system including at least one processor and memory storing instructions. In one embodiment, a system receives a batch identifier, determines a number of containers, sends the number of containers to a user device, and receives a first container identifier from a user device. The system retrieves a location identifier of a first item, sends the location identifier to the user device, and receives a physical location identifier from the user device. The system sends to the user device the first item when the physical location identifier matches the location identifier. The system receives a physical item identifier of the first item and sends a destination to the user device to bring the container.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates generally to computerized systems and methods for fulfilling orders. In particular, embodiments of the present application relate to inventive and non-traditional systems for controlling order fulfillment. Background technique [0002] The e-commerce business is widely promoted for its convenience and the variety of items that can be ordered electronically. Workers in warehouses face inefficiencies due to the large number of items in the warehouse and the complexity of orders. In fact, various systems for picking items already exist in order to solve this problem. [0003] However, existing systems are rudimentary because they control picking tasks based on orders. That is, under the existing system, workers pick items until they finish picking each item in each order, regardless of where the ordered items are stored in the warehouse. Given the volume and space of items in the warehouse, these systems can be wasteful...
