Abstract
A sorting system including a plurality of sorter light boxes, a hub, and a controller. The plurality of sorter light boxes may each be configured to be mounted to a respective shelf, and may each configured to be coupled to another one of the sorter light boxes to create a chain of sorter light boxes. The hub may be configured to be coupled to a first sorter light box in the chain of sorter light boxes. The hub may also be configured to operate as a concentrator of control signals and power for the sorter light boxes. The controller may be configured to be coupled to the hub and may be configured generate control signals for the sorter light boxes.
Claims35
