      Traditional picker-to-parts systems are rarely suitable for these requirements. For example, in picker-to-parts systems that are operated with a pick-by-order strategy, customer orders are picked individually on a single order picking tour starting from the depot, proceeding along the storage locations defined by the respective customer order, and ending at the depot.
