Abstract:

An automated manufacturing system includes a computer processing system that defines product packages and product subbatches within each product package and produces consolidation assignment for the product subbatches. A consolidation system includes a batch storage system that includes cubbies to store product subbatches for a product package in accordance to the consolidation assignment, light indicators each associated with one of the cubbies, and a consolidation controller that can identify a subbatch that arrives at the consolidation system and determine a destination cubby in the batch storage system that the subbatch is to be placed. The consolidation controller can turn on a light indicator associated with the destination cubby to provide a visual cue to guide placement of the subbatch. The consolidation controller can trigger the consolidation of product subbatches into the product package when all the product subbatches for the product package have been received by the consolidation system.
