In my previous life bringing good things to life we early adopted an automated picker than operated the same way, except the carousel system was cheesey and a catastrophe. It moved all the materials in one of three carousels to get a tote in which resided temporarily a particular item. Somehow that was going to be the future of materials handling. Anybody who tells you corporations are efficient never worked for one.
