   Info
   title Dolphining
   When picking from elevated spots within the same aisle, the employee may not return to the floor between picks and instead move directly from one elevated location to another. We call this method of picking "Dolphining." Without dolphining, travel time will be credited for returning to the floor, moving to the next location, then raising back into the air. With dolphining, the travel is calculated directly from one location to another, while remaining in the air. Setting a Max Dolphin Distance allows control over how far an employee is able to travel without returning to the floor for the purposes of travel calculation. Dolphining calculations will only be used within the same aisle. Dolphining distance can be customized for individual pieces of equipment.
