AOR Defined Automated Order Routing (AOR)  provides intelligence for the tracking of order fulfillment containers on a conveyor belt network to the correct work areas in a distribution center.  It communicates with the  conveyor controls systems  to gather barcode data and retrieves carton information from a database. AOR makes all routing decisions and gives the result to the control system to be executed. For example, as orders are released to the floor, AOR is releasing cartons out of a carton erector for picking and is responsible for the automated print and apply application of shipping labels or carton IDs (LPN). Starting from the top with the software interface, the routing software should work as a single point of communication to your host system or ERP. It should be capable of handling the transmission of data from any/all equipment on the floor back to the top (ERP/WMS), and back down for order fulfillment.
