zone picking

I want to change the items on the shelves so that each row has a different color. The second shelf should have the same color configuration as the first shelf, with each row having its own color. The third shelf should also follow the same pattern. Please help me with this. Thank you!

Let me assume that you don't want to sort the items by color but rather some underlying information (mostly likely a label like "Type" or "SKU") that also happens to control the color of the object. While sorting the items by their color is also possible it would be much more complex.

Set up a slot label in the Storage System properties in the toolbox that will later be matched to the item's label and control which slots items are allowed to be put in.

Use the Paint Slot Labels object/tool to assign different label values to each level of the racks.

Then set the Slot Assignment Strategy of the rack to "Matching Labels".
