Abstract
A local device may receive, from a remote device, a task to be completed at a workstation within a logistics center in which orders are fulfilled and processed. The local device may determine, among a plurality of robotic agents at the workstation, a robotic agent configured to perform the task. An in-memory datastore having cache and compute capabilities may be stored in memory of the local device may store data associated with the task and the robotic agent to complete the task. The local device may instruct the robotic agent to perform the task and may receive, from the robotic agent, an indication associated with the performance of the task. This data may be stored in the in-memory datastore and/or may be used for assigning future tasks.
