ABSTRACT:
An RF light directed inventory system includes a host computer, a host RF transmitter/receiver, at least one RF processor panel, and a plurality of light directed modules. The host computer receives a customer order. The customer order contains a plurality of SKU numbers with item quantities which are converted into a light directed module address. The plurality of light directed module addresses and corresponding quantities are assigned an RF process panel address. The plurality of light directed module addresses, item quantities and RF process panel addresses are converted into a plurality of serial data packets. Each serial data packet is transmitted to one RF processor panel. The serial data packet is input by the RF processor panel and decoded into a plurality of light directed module addresses and item quantities. The item quantities will be displayed on each light directed module. After servicing the proper quantity of items, an inventory specialist will press a button on the light directed module which indicates that all items have been serviced. When the RF processor panel has determined that each bin location has been serviced, the RF processor panel will send a message to the host computer that all the bin locations have been serviced. When the host computer receives a message from all the RF processor panels, the host computer will be ready to send another customer order.
