1. A system for providing real time analytical data regarding operational characteristics of a plurality of object processing systems that process objects in accordance with a warehouse management system, said system comprising:
a data collection system for receiving real time data regarding processing at each of the plurality of object processing systems, each of the plurality of object processing systems including a programmable motion device that is programmed to process objects independent of other of the plurality of object processing systems;
an analytics processing system that monitors the real time data from the data collection system and adjusts the processing of objects at one or more of the plurality of object processing systems responsive to the real time data; and
a graphic display system for displaying the real time data from the analytics processing system regarding the processing of objects at one or more of the plurality of object processing systems;
wherein the analytics processing system further provides that data relating to operations of the plurality of object processing systems are recorded, and at least one of:
relative changes or anomalies in operation of a subject object processing system of the plurality of object processing systems are identified;
the relative changes or anomalies relate to whether objects are successfully grasped by the subject object processing system; and
the analytics processing system further includes a predictive alert system for providing proactive alerting of the relative changes or anomalies prior to a processing disruption event.
