Precision, relative to no blocking, of different blocking arrangements for each tactic. Three series of blocking arrangements are considered: (i) blocks that are confined to the same lane of the Smarthouse with 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 carts within a block, (ii) blocks that are contained within 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, or 12 positions of the Smarthouse and spread across the 3 lanes so that they have 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 or 36 carts within a block, and (iii) rows and columns in blocks each of 3 lanes by 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 positions. Values greater than 100 indicate better precision than no blocking.
