A goods-to-person picking station integrates two presentation bays to minimize operator idle time during item retrieval. It addresses the problem where an operator waits for the next storage unit to arrive, reducing potential pick rate. The system employs a control logic that anticipates the completion of picking from one bay, initiating the retrieval of the next required storage unit to the alternative bay. This "shadowing" approach ensures a continuous supply of work to the operator, with visual cues guiding the picking process and managing situations where retrieval throughput is insufficient to maintain continuous operation.
