摘要:
A shelving and package locating system for delivery vehicles includes one or more shelves for storing packages within a delivery vehicle during delivery. Each package is associated with both a geographic delivery address and an assigned location on a particular shelf within the delivery vehicle. A GPS unit determines the location of the delivery vehicle during delivery, and a computer provides the shelf location of a particular package when that package's delivery-location information substantially corresponds to vehicle location information. Several embodiments exist for registering the location of the package in the vehicle at load time, such as scanned location indicia, light sensors on shelves, pressure sensors on shelves, pressure sensors on the floor of the vehicle, and light spot. Several embodiments exist for locating the package in the vehicle at delivery time, such as a pick-to-light system that employs variable length lighting and a light pointer system that generates a light spot.

A storage cabinet according to an embodiment stores a plurality of items includes a first reader configured to read item information recorded in a first tag of all items stored in a housing, when a door is in a closed state, and judges whether an item exists in the housing that is past a reference date on a basis of an expiration date of the item, based on a reading result of the first reader. If it is judged that an item exists in the housing that is past the reference date, a first mode or a second mode is selected based on an operation of a user. The first mode is a mode in which retrieval of an item other than an item having a period of time to an expiration date which is the shortest among items of the identical item code, is restricted. The second mode is a mode in which retrieval of an item other than an expired item is restricted.

Present invention relates to a storage and retrieval facility for storing and retrieving items (3) to and from an overhead storage area comprising a conveyor vehicle (1) for transporting the items (3) to and from the storage said conveyor vehicle (1) is equipped with a detachably integrated elevator (2) to lift the items (3) on the vehicle (1) and then carrying them to the storage area and also to lift the items (3) one above the other in the storage area and vice versa and in that the vehicle (1) is equipped to run in straight lines and change directions, wherein the conveyor vehicle (1) is a rail guided vehicle which is equipped to move along a network of rails comprising straight rails (4) and turning plates (5), the rails being mounted to an attic floor or directly on ceiling joists or on the plenum space above a dropped ceiling.
摘要:
A method for retrieving and presenting objects in an automated Surface Mount Device (SMD) warehouse adapted to obtain information related to upcoming SMT jobs, the method comprising receiving at least one of input data and a parameter representing a position within said automated Surface Mount Device (SMD) warehouse; retrieving a bin from said position within said automated SMD warehouse at least partly based on said at least one of input data and/or a parameter representing said position within said automated Surface Mount Device (SMD) warehouse; and -presenting said retrieved bin at, or close to, an output port, such as an opening, of said automated Surface Mount Device (SMD) warehouse.
摘要:
A warehouse automated case unit storage system comprising an autonomous transport vehicle (110) for transferring the case units to or from the predefined storage areas, the autonomous transport vehicle (110) including a frame (1200), a support shelf (1230) adapted for holding at least one case unit thereon, the support shelf (1230) being movably connected to the frame (1200) so that the support shelf (1230) is movable between extended and retracted positions, a drive system (1210) mounted to the frame (1200), and guiding devices (1211-1214, 1250-1253) mounted to the frame (1200).
摘要:
A storage and retrieval system (400) including a vertical array of storage levels, each storage level having, picking aisles (130F), storage locations, disposed within the picking aisles (130F), and at least one transfer deck (330A,330B) providing access to the picking aisles (130F), a multilevel vertical conveyor system configured to transport the uncontained case units to and from the vertical array of storage levels, each storage level being configured to receive uncontained case units from the multilevel vertical conveyor system, at least one autonomous transport (110) located on each storage level for transporting the uncontained case units between respective storage locations and the multilevel vertical conveyor system, and a controller configured to create a primary access path through the transfer decks (330A,330B) and picking aisles to a predetermined one of the storage locations and at least one secondary access path to the predetermined one of the storage locations when the primary path is impassable.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a bin storage system (3) comprising a three-dimensional bin storage structure (15) and a plurality of robot vehicles (1) which are movable on top of the bin storage structure to retrieve storage bins (2) from the structure. The structure comprises: pillars which are positioned with internal distances and in a rectangular arrangement accommodating the bins and defining storage columns (8, 8a, 8b) for the bins; supporting rails (13) arranged in a matrix on top of the pillars providing support (14) for the robot vehicles and allowing each robot vehicle to travel across the structure in a first direction (X) and in a second direction (Y); a storage bin delivery station (60); and a bin lift device (50) which receives bins from the robot vehicles and transport them in a vertical direction from a top level of the structure to the delivery station. Each robot vehicle comprises a vehicle body (4) having: first and second sets of rolling means (10, 11) for moving the robot vehicle along the supporting rails; a cavity (7) for receiving a bin; and a lifting device (9) for retrieving a bin from a storage column and storing the bin in the cavity.
