Abstract
Techniques are described for generating stacking orders and pull orders associated with arranging assets on or within a transport handling unit or other type of shipping container. In some cases, the system may determine a stacking order for an autonomous stacking system based on data associated with the transport vehicle, the assets, and the like in order to fulfill requirements associated with particular types of transport, such as airfreight.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving first sensor data associated with a stacking event associated with a customer order at a designated stacking area of a facility;
- detecting, based at least in part on the first sensor data, a transport handling unit (THU) within the stacking area;
- detecting, based at least in part on the first sensor data, two or more assets within the stacking area, the two or more assets included on a customer order being fulfilled;
- causing, based at least in part on transport data associated with a transport vehicle assigned to fulfill the customer order and asset data associated with the two or more assets, an autonomous system associated with the stacking area to arrange the two or more items with respect to the THU;
- receiving second sensor data associated with the stacking area;
- determining, based at least in part on the second sensor data, that the stacking event is complete;
- and
- responsive to determining the stacking event is complete, sending a notification to a device, the notification indicating that the THU is ready to load on the transport vehicle.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions executable by the one or more processors, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving asset data associated with a customer order;
- determining, based at least in part on the asset data, a stacking order associated with a fulfillment of the customer order;
- determining, based at least in part on the stacking order, a pull order associated with two or more assets included in the customer order;
- causing a facility vehicle to collect the two or more items based at least in part on the pull order;
- and
- causing a stacking system to arrange the two or more items on a transport handling unit (THU) based at least in part on the stacking order.
One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions executable by the one or more processors, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving first sensor data associated with a stacking event associated with a customer order at a designated stacking area of a facility;
- detecting, based at least in part on the first sensor data, a transport handling unit (THU) within the stacking area;
- detecting, based at least in part on the first sensor data, two or more assets within the stacking area, the two or more assets included on a customer order being fulfilled;
- causing, based at least in part on transport data associated with a transport vehicle assigned to fulfill the customer order and asset data associated with the two or more assets, an autonomous system associated with the stacking area to arrange the two or more items with respect to the THU;
- receiving second sensor data associated with the stacking area;
- determining, based at least in part on the second sensor data, that the stacking event is complete;
- and
- responsive to determining the stacking event is complete, sending a notification to a device, the notification indicating that the THU is ready to load on the transport vehicle.
