    Abstract: An inventory system includes inventory holders, container holders, containers carried by the container holders, mobile drive units, stations, and a management module. The management module instructs the mobile drive units to move the inventory holders and container holders to stations. Container holders are loaded with containers of inbound inventory items at a first station. Inbound inventory items are transferred from containers to inventory holders at a second station. Outbound inventory items are transferred from inventory holders to containers at a third station. Containers of outbound inventory items are removed from container holders at a fourth station.

    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。

    Abstract: An inventory system can include multiple floors. The system can assign operations involving inventory items to a floor based on information about the floor, other floors, the operations, and/or the inventory items. In one example, the system may assign an order to be assembled on a floor based on the floor containing items for the order. Items may be moved to the floor from other floors to complete the order. In another example, a receipt receptacle received from a shipping vehicle can be moved to a rack without separating inventory items from the receipt vehicle. A mobile drive unit can move the rack to a floor based on information known about the inventory items matching criteria about the floor.

    Abstract translation: 库存系统可以包括多个楼层。 基于关于楼层,其他楼层,操作和/或库存项目的信息,系统可以将涉及库存物品的操作分配到楼层。 在一个示例中,系统可以基于包含订单的物品的楼层来分配要组装在楼层上的订单。 物品可能会从其他楼层搬到地板上,以完成订单。 在另一个示例中,从运输车辆接收的收据插座可以移动到机架,而不将货物物品与收据车辆分开。 移动驱动单元可以基于关于关于楼层的标准的库存项目已知的信息将机架移动到地板。

    Abstract: An inventory system can receive a receipt receptacle from a shipping vehicle. The receipt receptacle can be moved to a case shuttle without separating or sorting inventory items in the receipt receptacle. A mobile drive unit can move the case shuttle to a receiving station, where the receipt receptacle can be removed and where the inventory items can be stowed in a pickable inventory holder. A mobile drive unit can move the pickable inventory holder to an order-compiling station, where inventory items can be picked from the inventory holder into order receptacles. A mobile drive unit can move an order shuttle carrying order receptacles with completed orders to a shipping station, where the completed order receptacles can be transferred to a shipping vehicle.
