Abstract: Inventory holders in an inventory system can be moved among differing storage positions. The moves can be performed by mobile drive units not otherwise transporting inventory holders directly to or from inventory stations. A free mobile drive unit can move an inventory holder not likely to be useful soon at any nearby station from a storage position near the station to a position farther away from the station. A mobile drive unit can move an inventory holder likely to be useful soon from a storage position farther away from one or more stations to a storage position nearby one or more stations.

Abstract translation: 库存系统中的库存持有人可以在不同的仓库位置之间移动。 这些移动可以由移动驱动单元执行，而不是直接向库存站点运送库存持有者。 一个免费的移动驱动单元可以将一个库存持有人不久以后在任何附近的车站从车站附近的仓库位置移动到远离车站的位置。 移动驱动单元可以将可能有用的库存持有人从远离一个或多个站的存储位置移动到一个或多个站附近的存储位置。
