SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF CONTROLLING THE LOADING OF PACKAGES IN FULFILLING ORDERS
Abstract: some embodiments provide order packaging control systems, comprising: a product packaging (pp) control circuit communicatively couple with an automated custom package fabrication (cpf) system configured to fabricate on demand custom packages, an automated product retrieval (pr) system configured to autonomously retrieve one or more products, pick stations, and a set of sensor systems. the pp control circuit can be configured to receive orders; prioritize the orders and define an order fulfillment sequence, track states of the pr system and the cpf system; determine product retrieval timing, and correspondingly determine fabrication timing of when the cpf system is to fabricate corresponding packaging; and control the pr system and the cpf system in controlling synchronous operation of the pr system and the cpf system to synchronize an availability of products of an order at a pick station and an availability of a custom package at the pick station.
