METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING TEMPORARY STORAGE IN WAREHOUSES

Abstract:

Methods and systems for managing temporary storage in warehouses are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving a first electronic notification that items of a shipment are to be stored in temporary locations in a warehouse; in response to the first notification, automatically redirecting location information determined electronically based on asset tags affixed to the items from a warehouse management system to a temporary storage management system as the items are stored in the temporary locations; receiving a second electronic notification that the items are to be moved from the temporary locations to final locations; and in response to the second notification, automatically communicating the redirected location information to enable the warehouse worker to locate the items at the temporary locations based on the redirected location information and store them at the final locations, the final locations identified for the warehouse worker by the warehouse management system.
