A method of transporting inventory items includes receiving a route request from a mobile drive unit. The route request identifies a destination location within a workspace. The workspace includes at least one cell associated with a first cell attribute and at least one cell that is not associated with the first cell attribute. The method includes determining a state of the mobile drive unit. The method also includes generating a path to the destination location for the mobile drive unit that traverses cells associated with the first cell attribute, in response to determining that the mobile drive unit is associated with a first state. The method includes generating a path to the destination location for the mobile drive unit that does not traverse cells associated with the first cell attribute, in response to determining the mobile drive unit is not associated with the first state. The method further includes transmitting the path to the mobile drive unit.

L'invention concerne un procédé pour le transport d'articles de marchandises, comprenant la réception d'une demande d'itinéraire à partir d'une unité de commande mobile. La demande d'itinéraire identifie un endroit de destination à l'intérieur d'un espace de travail. L'espace de travail comprend au moins une cellule associée à un premier attribut de cellule et au moins une cellule qui n'est pas associée au premier attribut de cellule. Le procédé comprend l'étape consistant à déterminer d'un état de l'unité de commande mobile. Le procédé comprend également l'étape consistant à générer un chemin jusqu'à l'endroit de destination pour le dispositif de commande mobile qui traverse les cellules associées au premier attribut de cellule, en réponse à la détermination de l'association de l'unité de commande mobile à un premier état. Le procédé comprend l'étape consistant à générer un chemin jusqu'à l'endroit de destination pour l'unité de commande mobile qui ne traverse pas les cellules associées au premier attribut de cellule, en réponse à la détermination de la non association de l'unité de commande mobile au premier état. Le procédé comprend en outre l'étape consistant à transmettre le chemin à l'unité de commande mobile.
