…slot at a category level - shoes, hats, kitchen appliances, etc. Assign pickers to the categories they are most familiar with - and therefore, the most efficient pickers of. This method optimizes picking speed per category as well as per order. Seasonality should also be considered, along with promotions, as products should be slotted for timely access and fulfillment. However, if your demand does not exhibit a strong Pareto - or your order composition does not display a clear trend - you can skip such exercises. Random order is actually the best answer in those situations. Single Unit Orders Get…

…the exterior of our homes, the state of our appliances and devices, colors and shapes, to name a few. If robots want to better interact with people, they need to share this understanding of the environment and communicate in terms the user can relate to and understand. Achieving this results in more intuitive interfaces, allowing users to leverage their knowledge of familiar concepts and objects to interact with novel devices.” Techniques such as object recognition using neural networks, simultaneous localization and mapping, age and gender detection, emotion recognition and natural language processing play key roles in implementing these intuitive capabilities.…
