Port Best Practices

A recurring issue is unnecessary opening and closing of ports. This appears in the Console logs as repeated transitions such as OPEN → CLOSED → OPEN. This behavior negatively impacts port throughput.

In many cases, this is triggered by issues related to task groups and categories, where either the WMS or the operator misinterprets the reason for a lack of incoming bins.

Another common issue is the excessive use of the flushport method. This operation sends bins back TOGRID from the port, which further disrupts normal port flow and reduces overall throughput.
