The rack controller is coupled to the sorter control system such that the rack controller has an access to bar code data and item dimension data, and the rack controller has rack data about dimensions of storage places in the rack, and by combining the bar code data, the item dimension data, and the rack data the rack controller has an ability to make a fill plan for items on the take away line, the fill plan including at least placing the first item into the first storage place in the rack.
