Systems and methods for dynamically limiting alternate pick location attempts before shorting

A system comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit instructions to an autonomous vehicle;
• and
• a server comprising a processor configured to:
• in response to receiving an indication of a short of a product from the autonomous vehicle routing on a pick path for a plurality of orders:
• compute a first completion score for the plurality of orders using the pick path without the product;
• and
• compute a second completion score for the plurality of orders using a revised pick path that includes an alternate pick location for the product;
• and
• in response to comparing the first completion score to the second completion score, transmitting, to the autonomous vehicle, instructions configured to re-route the autonomous vehicle using the revised pick path.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• in response to receiving an indication of a short of a product from an autonomous vehicle routing on a pick path for a plurality of orders:
• computing, by a computer, a first completion score for the plurality of orders using the pick path without the product;
• and
• computing, by the computer, a second completion score for the plurality of orders using a revised pick path that includes an alternate pick location for the product;
• and
• in response to comparing the first completion score to the second completion score, transmitting, by the computer to the autonomous vehicle, instructions configured to re-route the autonomous vehicle using the revised pick path.
