kiosztok

Kiosztó is a Hungarian noun meaning "distributor" or "allocator," and kiosztók is its plural. The term is used across several domains to denote people or devices that distribute resources, tasks, information, or goods. The exact sense depends on context.

In electrical engineering and building infrastructure, a kiosztó can refer to a distribution device or panel that splits incoming electrical power into multiple circuits. It may be part of a switchgear assembly and houses protective devices and wiring, helping organize and safeguard power supply within a facility. In everyday language it may be used interchangeably with elosztó or elosztópanel, though terminology varies regionally.

In logistics and manufacturing, a kiosztó or kiosztók describes people or software systems responsible for allocating stock to orders, routes, or customers. Modern warehouses often use allocation functionality within a warehouse management system to optimize picking, packing, and shipping.

In information technology and operations management, a kiosztó can describe scheduling or assignment components that distribute tasks or processing jobs to agents, workers, or servers. The term emphasizes the distribution role rather than execution.

The act of distributing is kiosztás; related terms include elosztás (distribution) and kiosztó as a device or role.
