What is a Pigeon Hole ?

Pigeon hole : It is a small movable bin with bin id which can contain items. One pigeon hole contains one order and thus it is used for multi-item orders only. If a single item order is found it can be directly given to packer for packing.

  2. Sorter : A sorter sorts the picked items by order into pigeon holes
  3. Pigeon hole picker : He/She picks the filled pigeon holes and takes them to packing station & empty pigeon holes from packing station back to pigeon hole bay.
  4. Packer : A packer accepts pigeon holes and packs the items

  2. Sorter picks items from this basket and scans the items.

  3. Sorter puts the item in a pigeon hole

  4. System suggests a pigeon hole to the sorter now onwards so as to put the item to the directed pigeon hole.
