Abstract
From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the followingquote: “Many companies may store, package, and ship items and/or groups of items from material handlingfacilities. For example, many comp anies may store items in a material handling facility and ship items tovarious destinations (e.g., customers, stores) from the material handling facility. Vari ous material handling systems and processes, including receipt, sorting, storage , packing, shipping, or other processing of itemswithin a material handling fac ility, often incur significant cost and time. Accordingly, there is a need for flexible and automated systems and methods to facilitate the various material han dling processes within amaterial handling facility, thereby improving the speed and efficiency of such processes.”
