摘要: A system and method for storage and retrieval are provided. The system includes a multi-level storage structure, and mobile robots configured to pick, transport and place one or more tote, container, or object. This system and method can be used in order-fulfillment applications in which one or more workstations accommodate a picker that transports one or more eaches from a tote on one of the autonomous mobile robots to a put location, and an input/output interface induct material into the system and discharge fulfilled orders from the system. The mobile robots are further configured to move from level to level in the multi-level storage structure via inclined or vertical tracks without requiring a vertical lift or vertical conveyor.

摘要: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to inventory management. In some embodiments, an inventory management system comprises inventory items having attached fiducial markers, a control circuit, and an application executed on a mobile device operable by a user. The mobile application is configured to present a real-world view of inventory items within a camera's field of view, capture information associated, with the fiducial markers, and transmit this information to the control circuit. The control circuit is configured to apply one or more information filters to identify inventory items having specified, attributes and transmit these identifications to the mobile application. The mobile application is configured to present an augmented view of the inventory items by displaying indications over the inventory items having the specified attributes to identify to the user which items require attention.

摘要: Systems and methods of fallback electronic communications are disclosed. A system is configured to receive a communication campaign including data identifying at least one communication channel and implement a fallback state machine having a first composite state corresponding to the at least one communication channel. An initial electronic communication is transmitted via the at least one communication channel and an initial timer having a first predetermined timeout period is implemented. When a confirmation is received prior to expiration of the initial timer, the fallback state machine transitions to a complete state. When the confirmation is not received prior to expiration of the initial timer, a first composite fallback state corresponding to a first set of fallback communication channels is implemented and a first fallback electronic communication is transmitted via the first set of fallback communication channels.

摘要: An electronic shelf label (ESL) system is discussed. An ESL affixed to a shelf facing assists stock associates in managing products on the shelf. More particularly, the ESL may receive and display step-by-step instructions and/or graphical depictions on a display screen of the ESL that are received from a computing device-executed optimization module. The instructions may be generated to minimize the number of required actions by the stock associate and guide the associate in arranging products on the shelf. The displayed instructions may be determined based on a planogram. The planogram may be generated from a range of criteria including historical profit and loss data, inventory data, supply and demand data and/or labor cost data.

摘要: An article of footwear includes an upper and a heel counter operatively connected to a heel region of the upper. The heel counter includes a cradle having a body. The body of the cradle includes a base and a cradle arm extending outward from the base to a tip portion of the cradle arm. The tip portion of the cradle arm is moveable relative to the base between an expanded position and a collapsed position. A spring is encased within the body of the cradle such that the spring biases the tip portion of the cradle arm toward the expanded position of the tip portion. The tip portion of the cradle arm is resiliently deflectable toward the collapsed position against the bias of the spring.

摘要: Examples provides sale-restricted items management for self-checkout. A list of sale-restricted items is displayed via a graphical user interface (GUI) provided by a user interface. A notification component transmits a notification to a user device associated with an authorized user to verify a transaction responsive to an unauthorized user selection of a sale-restricted item from the list of sale-restricted items displayed. The notification includes an identification of the selected sale-restricted item and location of the selected sale-restricted item. A verification component authorizes completion of the transaction associated with the selected sale-restricted item by the unauthorized user on condition an age verification is obtained from the user device associated with the authorized user. Responsive to the authorization, an unlocking signal is sent to a locking storage device storing the selected sale-restricted item.
