I started out reading up on how to merge batches in warehouses. The idea is that batches that only fill
a subset of a location can be merged/compacted into a singe location. Then I got to thinking: “-why
merge batches from poorly filled static locations into a single one and loose digital detail while doing
so? Why not get better at dynamically resizing and rearranging locations instead and keep digital
detail?”
