Abstract: Systems and methods to generate and schedule tasks for automated guided carts (AGCs) may include an overhead sensor system, a warehouse management system, an order management system, and a traffic controller. The overhead sensor system may detect trolleys and totes positioned at various trolley locations within a material handling facility. Based on the sensor data and data associated with states of portions of the material handling facility, the order management system may generate logically feasible tasks to transport trolleys and totes within the facility, and may also sequence the tasks in a temporally feasible order. Then, the traffic controller may instruct execution of the sequence of tasks by AGCs to facilitate various material handling processes within the facility.
