Hal touched so many lives,

It's hard to fathom how many lives he touched.

If an extra carton or a picking error occurs the data from the Scan Tunnel sent to the warehouse management system is used to check and validate all case picks match the currently active orders. If the case is a miss pick or a no-read condition occurs the case will not be labeled and will be diverted as a 'not assigned pick' to an inspection-exception station for human disposition.

We have spent the past 24 hours in almost constant contact with the families of our guests involved in yesterday's terrible accident. We also have been working around the clock with Chilean officials and can now confirm the names of those involved. Our most sincere condolences go out to all the families and friends who have been impacted by this heartbreaking event.
