📍 Understanding Position

What is a Position?

A Position is a set of co-ordinates that defines a specific storage location within the warehouse. It is used to guide automated machinery—such as shuttles, cranes, or robotic pickers—so they can navigate accurately to pick up or store goods.

In Canary7, Positions are typically assigned to physical Locations to enable precise warehouse automation.
