Overview
Note: ReBin Picking is a paid module, please discuss this with your Account Manager to learn more.
The ReBin Picking module is a three-stage picking workflow designed for high volume multi-item orders. It optimizes the picking process by separating it into distinct phases: Initial Picking (pickers collect products into totes), Tote Consolidation (totes are received into buffer locations), and Rebin Sorting (products are sorted from totes into final order-specific slots for packing). Efficiency gains can be increased further for larger operations using the option to split larger batches into sub batches by zones in your warehouse and picked separately by dedicated zone pickers.
Prerequisites
Configure ReBin Settings
To configure the ReBin Picking module settings, please do the following:
Navigate to Settings then Customer Account Settings.
Click on the Picking tab.
Configure the following ReBin settings -
ReBin Picking - Split By Zone?
Enable this if you want to split picking work by warehouse zones.
When enabled, sub-batches are automatically assigned to specific zones.
Pickers will only see sub-batches for their assigned zone in the mobile app.
If enabled, please ensure you have set a Zone on the mobile app, please review the Access Mintsoft app - ReBin Picking help guide.
ReBin Picking - Tote Prefix
Set a prefix for tote barcode validation (e.g., "TOTE-").
The system will validate that scanned tote barcodes start with this prefix.
Leave blank to allow any barcode format.
ReBin Picking - Slot Prefix
Set a prefix for slot/location barcode validation (e.g., "SLOT-").
The system will validate that scanned slot barcodes start with this prefix.
Leave blank to allow any barcode format.
Tip: Adding prefixes to totes and slots adds an extra layer of validation so that rebin sorters do not scan incorrect slots/totes by mistake
