20120029685 | FULFILLING ORDERS FOR SERIALIZED PRODUCTS - Various embodiments are directed to a method for fulfilling orders from an inventory comprising serialized products. For example, a computer system may receive an order and derive from the order a plurality of products, a unit quantity for each of the plurality of products, and a serial identifier referencing a first product unit of at least one of the plurality of products. At least one of the plurality of products may be a non-reserved product. Also, the computer system may determine a first bin selected from a plurality of non-reserved product bins that is associated with product units of the non-reserved product and generate a pick instruction specifying the first bin and the unit quantity of the non-reserved product specified by the order. The computer system may also instruct a robot to retrieve the first product unit from one of the plurality of robot accessible bins. The robot may be programmed to load product units to the plurality of robot-accessible bins and retrieve product units from the plurality of robot-accessible bins. | 02-02-2012 |
20120030070 | MANAGING AN INVENTORY COMPRISING SERIALIZED PRODUCTS - Various embodiments are directed to a system for managing an inventory comprising serialized products. A robot may be instructed to load a plurality of serialized product units to a plurality of robot-accessible bins such that each of the plurality of robot-accessible bins comprises no more than one serialized product unit. A computer system may receive from a requesting system, an order specifying a serialized product. The computer system may also receive from a data storage system a serial identifier associated with a first unit of the serialized product that is present at one of the plurality of robot-accessible bins and is indicated at the data storage system as being available. The computer system may also write to the data storage system an indication that the first unit is reserved, and transmit to the requesting system a message comprising an indication of the order and an indication of the serial identifier. | 02-02-2012 |
