Picking items from the rack based on totes positions on the rack

Hi,

How could the operator pick items by starting from the tote in the front then the tote behind ?

Hi @sara S2,

Could you point out which side is the front and which side is the back? I would use a Pull from List and then just Pull based on a query such as "ORDER BY age DESC" so that you always get the oldest items. I would need to understand more about what "front" and "behind" mean in your model to update your model.

Hi @tanner.p, thank you for your reply.

Actually, I want that the operator picks items in the first tote (situated in the conveyor side) then if still have some items to pick (number of items to pick greater than 8), he picks the rest in the second tote. I already set tote types (two types 1 & 2).
