The patent’s assignee for patent number 11912500 is Walmart Apollo LLC (Bentonvi lle, Arkansas, United States). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed 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 sup ply chains, may fulfill orders for individual product units, referred to herein as “eaches” (also called “pieces”, “articles”, “items” or, generally, any articl es available for purchase in retail as a purchase unit, etc.), which are typical ly packaged and shipped by the manufacturer in containers known as “cases”. The “each” as used herein for convenience purposes, may be considered the most granu lar unit of handling in retail supply chains. Conventional operations to fulfill orders for eaches (usually referred to as “each-picking” or “piece-picking”) ar e generally labor-intensive because they generally apply man-to-goods processes that are not highly automated.
