Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention generally provide a disk drive inventory data processing system. In one embodiment, the disk drive inventory data processing system is configured as a mobile hub sorting system (MHSS) that is adapted to receive and processes data from an independent disk drive inventory management system such as a disk drive inventory distribution hub. The disk drive inventory data processing system determines the status of the disk drive inventory and then segregates the disk drives into distributable and not distributable pallets, cartons, and individual disk drives. In another embodiment, the disk drive inventory data processing system provides processed disk drive inventory information to update the independent disk drive inventory system on the shipping status of the disk drives, pallets, and cartons.
