Abstract
A pendulum queue system for inventory management can include a first queue with a first delivery portion and a first storage portion separated by a first operating space. A second queue can be positioned laterally from the first queue and can include a second delivery portion and a second storage portion separated by a second operating space. Each of the storage portions can include its own storage work cell through which inventory holders can be cyclable, and each delivery portions can include one or more carriers. A transfer apparatus can be configured to move back and forth between the queues and to move within the operating space of each queue to transfer an item between an inventory holder and a carrier within one of the queues during a time interval in which the other queue can undergo cycling of the inventory holders.
