摘要： Disclosed are a system and/or a method of telepresence based inventory pick and place operations through actuator controlled robotic arms affixed to each row of a shelf. A method includes mounting a robotic arm at an end of a row of a shelf of inventory on a set of rails affixed to the row of a shelf. The robotic arm is permitted to move horizontally along the row of the shelf. The robotic arm is repositioned along the three axes using a set of actuators. A haptic motion of a human user is mirrored that is remotely using a positioning device (e.g., human may feel the feedback of the remote arm as it touches the objects). An item is placed on a counting platform in front of the robotic arm. The items are placed automatically in the designated location down through a transport means when a pick operation is completed.

摘要： Disclosed are a system, device and/or an apparatus of modular hanging lasers to enable real-time control in a distribution center. A laser assembly includes a first support member and a second support member having a curved upper hook. The laser assembly includes a printed circuit board in between the first support member and the second support member that is physically coupled with the first support member at a first rotation point of the printed circuit board and the second support member at a second rotation point of the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has a laser whose orientation is adjustable when a protrusion of the printed circuit board extends from a curved guide of the first support member. The second support member is manually adjusted by shifting the protrusion along the curved guide based on a graduation indicator adjacent to the curved guide.

摘要： Disclosed are a method, system and/or device of continuous barcode tape based inventory location tracking. In one aspect, a method includes analyzing a layout diagram of a distribution center. The method further includes determining that the layout diagram includes a shelf. A number of segments associated with the shelf based on a forecasted allocation of an inventory on the shelf are calculated. A bar code tape having a globally unique identifier (GUID) associated with each segment of the number of shelves is automatically generated using a processor and a memory of a central inventory tracking system.

摘要： Disclosed are a system, device and/or an apparatus of modular hanging lasers to enable real-time control in a distribution center. In one embodiment, a laser assembly, includes a first support member having a curved upper hook, a second support member having the curved upper hook, and a printed circuit board in between the first support member and the second support member: (1) that is physically coupled with the first support member at a first rotation point of the printed circuit board, and which is physically coupled with the second support member at a second rotation point of the printed circuit board. The laser assembly is attached to a first wire of a distribution center above at least one row of the distribution center having at least one of a shelving, an inventory, and storage compartments along at least one row.
