    摘要: An inventory storage and retrieval system and method are provided for a shipping or storage facility. In an embodiment, the system includes: (a) a mobile computer and radio on a load-handing vehicle; (b) sensors on the vehicle to determine the ground location and orientation of the vehicle; (c) encoders that determine the position of a lifting mechanism relative to a chassis of the vehicle; and (d) a base computer and radio that communicates with the vehicle. The system maintains an inventory database of items and their respective storage locations in three dimensions as a result of the loading activity of the vehicle. The data can be used to guide the vehicle for ground movement generally to a storage location, appropriately orient the vehicle, and then to move the lifting mechanism of the vehicle to deposit or retrieve the item at a particular storage location.

    摘要: An automatic guidance system and method are provided for a gantry crane to permit accurate tracking along a path, including a curved path. The position of the crane is determined from two spaced apart GPS receivers fixed to the crane. A guidance controller determines a plurality of error measurements from respective front, center and rear points of the crane relative to a current tracking line, which is a line tangent to the path at a current position of crane. In an embodiment, the system includes a base station that can be used to transmit data to the crane to specify a particular destination location of the drive path, or to transmit data representing the drive path itself.

    摘要: A chopper motor-controller for regulating a lift truck traction motor incorporates means for detecting faults which may cause the truck to run out of control, such as the high speed bypass contacts which shunt the semiconductor power switch being welded closed, and for disabling the controller in response thereto and also has time delay means for preventing a directional contactor from closing in on a fault before the fault detecting means can operate to disable the controller. The disclosed controller may alternatively be connected to require the operator to relax the accelerator foot pedal when starting or changing direction or to permit change of direction while the foot pedal is depressed.
