Abstract
A method and system for decanting a plurality of substantially identical target items in a topmost layer of target items supported on a transport structure at one time with a picking tool for placement into a transport container are provided. The method includes the steps of providing a ranked configuration which describes the location and orientation of all items in the topmost layer and identifying a set of all legal picks of multiple items from the topmost layer based on the size and shape of the picking tool and the size and shape of the transport container. The method also includes the step of grouping the legal picks into equivalence classes. Each equivalence class contains a subset of items from the ranked configuration.
