A patent application by the inventors Amador, Paolo Gerli (Framingham, MA, US); Bhaskaran, Michael (Seattle, WA, US); Gallaway, Rodney (Little Rock, AR, US); Gopalakrishnan, Vikranth (Hoboken, NJ, US); Jarvis, Daniel (Orlando, FL, US); Kalra, Amit (Acton, MA, US), filed on July 10, 2023, was made available online on February 8, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution. The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “This application relates to inventory management systems (e.g., order distribution or fulfillment systems). “Some current inventory management systems use drag-along carts on which human agents (pickers) place items they select (pick) to fulfill orders. In a zone-less pick-to-cart system, an agent drags his/her cart from location to location as instructed by the computer system of the facility. The cart can accommodate multiple orders and typically is equipped with dedicated containers or cartons that are keyed to the orders being fulfilled by the agent during that cart load. In some cases, the agent wears a headset and/or is provided a terminal, such as a mobile computing device, via which the agent is provided ordered, item-byitem instructions on which items to pick. As the agent walks around the facility among the different fixed shelving units, he/she drags or pushes his/her cart manually. During a given shift, the agent may end up considerably fatigued from having to propel the cart around the warehouse.
