Glossary: P2G - Person-to-Goods

Person-to-goods (P2G) is a warehouse fulfillment model in which a worker travels to the location of inventory to pick an item, often with a robot assisting with transportation.

In a P2G workflow, an AMR or other mobile robot may accompany a worker, carry a cart or container, or transport picked goods between locations. The person still performs the physical picking task, while automation can reduce walking, carrying, and other non-value-added work.

P2G is often contrasted with goods-to-person (G2P), where automation brings inventory to a stationary worker, and robot-to-goods (R2G), where the robot itself travels to and retrieves or manipulates inventory.

The terminology is often associated with discussions about flexible warehouse automation.
