Abstract
A system for bin management includes an input of bin quantity, a database of customer-specific data, and a controller. The controller is operatively connected to the database and arranged to obtain the customer-specific data and the input of bin quantity, to use the customer specific data and the input of bin quantity to determine a segmentation of a multiplicity of bins, to create a representation identifying the segmentation of the multiplicity of bins and has a memory for storing the representation. The system additionally has an output of the representation which identifies the segmentation of the multiplicity of bins. Processes for calculating the segmentation of the multiplicity of bins and for storing and retrieving items based on segmentation data are also provided.
