Automated guided vehicle control and organizing inventory items using stock keeping unit clusters

A method comprising:

• initializing a SKU storing model of a storage facility, the SKU storing model including a first pick-cell station and a second pick-cell station at which one or more customer orders are fulfilled;
• determining, from SKUs associated with the storage facility, a first set of SKUs based on order volumes of one or more SKUs in the first set of SKUs;
• dividing the first set of SKUs into a first cluster and a second cluster based on SKU affinities between the one or more SKUs in the first set of SKUs;
• replicating a first SKU of the first cluster to the second cluster based on a demand correlation between the first SKU of the first cluster and a second SKU of the second cluster;
• responsive to replicating the first SKU of the first cluster to the second cluster, determining the first cluster to be a first pick-cell cluster and determining the second cluster to be a second pick-cell cluster;
• and
• assigning the first pick-cell cluster to the first pick-cell station and assigning the second pick-cell cluster to the second pick-cell station in the SKU storing model.
