Abstract
Example implementations described herein are directed to an interface for a worker dispatch system configured to dispatch routes and schedules for workers on a manufacturing floor. Example implementations can involve a system configured to execute a lot ordering and route optimization for each of a plurality of workers; determine rack placement of the plurality of racks and total travel distance for each worker; generate a deployment plan for each worker from the lot ordering, the route optimization, the rack placement, and the total travel distance, the deployment plan involving a pick-up route and a schedule for each worker; provide the deployment plan to an interface configured to receive modifications to the deployment plan; and upon receiving instructions to deploy the deployment plan through the interface, provide the deployment plan to a device of each worker.
