Abstract
Systems and methods for robotic re-stowing of relocated inventory are described. In some examples, a determination may be made that a first tote located in a first zone of a processing facility includes a first item bound for a second zone of the processing facility. The first tote may be scanned by a first scanner of a first conveyance system to determine that the first tote is bound for the second zone. The first conveyance system may transport the first tote from the first zone to the second zone. The first tote may be robotically stowed on a first storage pod in the second zone. A first laden robotic drive unit may transport the first storage pod to a first pick station in the second zone.
