Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“1. Field“The exemplary embodiments generally relates to an order fulfillment system for use in supply chains.“2. Brief Description of the Related Developments“An order-fulfillment system for use in supply chains, for example in retail supply chains, may fulfillorders for individual product units, referred to herein as “eaches” (also called “pieces”, “articles”, “items”or, generally, any articles available for purchase in retail as a purchase unit, etc.), which are typicallypackaged and shipped by the manufacturer in containers known as “cases”. The “each” as used hereinfor convenience purposes, may be considered the most granular unit of handling in retail supply chains.Conventional operations to fulfill orders for eaches (usually referred to as “each-picking” or “piece-picking”)are generally labor-intensive because they generally apply man-to-goods processes that are not highlyautomated.
