Abstract
A material handling system for retrieving, transporting, and delivering inventory totes for order fulfillment activities within a material handling facility, includes unit sortation fields, a storage area, a shuttle system with shuttles, and a control system. The unit sortation fields are arranged within the material handling facility, each for sorting inventory items for order fulfillment, with each inventory item required by an order. The storage area stores inventory totes, each containing inventory items. Each of the shuttles retrieves an inventory tote from the storage area for delivery to a selected unit sortation field of the unit sortation fields. The control system controls the order fulfillment activities within the material handling facility. The control system selects a unit sortation field from the unit sortation fields based upon the order fulfillment operations underway within ones of the unit sortation fields.
