SYSTEM FOR STAGGERED PARTIAL ORDER INDUCTION INTO AUTOMATED STORAGE

Examples provide a system for staggering induction of items into an automated storage. Multiple partial order totes containing items for fulfillment of multiple different orders can be inducted into an automated storage simultaneously. The parts of a multipart order can also be inducted into the automated storage at staggered intervals. The system tracks each part of each multipart order inducted into the system and monitors the location of each tote containing items for fulfilling each order, the induction duration each tote has been inside the automated storage system, and unreceived items which are part of the multipart order, but which have not yet been inducted into the item storage. The system outputs notifications associated with received items, unreceived items, tote locations, aggregation of partial order totes and/or threshold wait times associated with inducting parts of an order into the automated storage.
