Abstract
A storage controller provides a visual indication of a physical location of an item arranged at a temporary storage location in a logistics center. The storage controller receives the item and associates the item with the particular temporary storage location. When a controller determines that the item is needed for an upcoming shipment, a signal is transmitted to the storage controller to active an indicator. Operations personnel may quickly identify the indicator to retrieve the item. Once the item is retrieved, it may be scanned to deactivate the indicator.
