Slot capacities

Overview

The Skublox Hub App allows you to manage and assign slot capacities. You can configure the volume of the slots and sort orders with multiple items or find a better fit for bigger-sized items.

When setting a capacity, you can choose between the following volume units:

  • Cubic inches
  • Cubic feet
  • Cubic centimeters
  • Liters
Based on the capacity, Skublox will try to find the most suitable slot for a given order without disrupting your sorting flow.
When assembling your wall, we recommend assigning smaller slots with smaller capacities at the top, as lighter items are easier to lift.

There might be times when an assigned slot is inconvenient and the slot size is too small for a product. In these cases, you can use the Swap Slots feature during the sorting process. Read more about the feature in the Swap Slots article.
