Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for automated problem solve workflows for shuttle rail systems and related container movement devices. In one embodiment, an example system may include a shuttle and a controller. The controller may be configured to determine that the shuttle has a first item onboard, where the shuttle is configured to deliver the first item to a first location, determine that the first item was not delivered to the first location, and cause the shuttle to be routed to a problem solve station. The controller may be configured to determine a first container at which the shuttle is to unload the first item at the problem solve station, and cause the shuttle to unload the first item at the first container.
