SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTION OF OPTIMAL TOTE MULTIPLICITY

A control system for a warehouse includes a controller to control fulfillment activities of the warehouse and to issue multiplicity values for each SKU velocity class (SVC), such that each product is decanted into a selected quantity of totes for storage. The controller controls the SVC multiplicities and records operational data corresponding to the storage and fulfillment activities. The system includes an inference module which includes an SKU multiplicity control. The inference module issues a multiplicity value recommendation for each SVC to the controller when live data is received from a current state storage. The recommendation is defined by the SKU multiplicity control with respect to the live data. A training module retrains the SKU multiplicity control using the operational data to retrain and update the SKU multiplicity control and retrains the SKU multiplicity control based upon priorities for optimal operation of the warehouse.
