Robots

Goods come to the person. People do not hunt the warehouse.

Robots put inventory away, move it, and deliver it to a station. Operators scan and verify. This is footage from the floor, not a diagram.

Operations

Station work: the screen issues the task, the hand confirms the parcel.

Pick tasks appear on the station screen. After the tote arrives, the operator scans, then packing begins. Machines move; people confirm the line is the right line.
