摘要： The present disclosure is directed to improved vertical farming using autonomous systems and methods for growing edible plants, using improved stacking and shelving units configured to allow for gravity-based irrigation, gravity-based loading and unloading, along with a system for autonomous rotation, incorporating novel plant-growing pallets, while being photographed and recorded by camera systems incorporating three dimensional/multispectral cameras, with the images and data recorded automatically sent to a database for processing and for gauging plant health, pest and/or disease issues, and plant life cycle. The present disclosure is also directed to novel harvesting methods, novel modular lighting, novel light intensity management systems, real time vision analysis that allows for the dynamic adjustment and optimization of the plant growing environment, and a novel rack structure system that allows for simplified building and enlarging of vertical farming rack systems.

摘要： A logistic system for managing and displacing materials comprises a first series of shelves (23) and a second series of shelves (24); the first series of shelves (23) is arranged in front of the second series of shelves (24), and a central aisle (25) is obtained between the shelves; each shelf is made up of a first pair of uprights (21, 22) facing towards the central aisle and a second pair of uprights (26, 27) facing towards the opposite side. The uprights of each shelf are retained by structural cross members. At the lower portion thereof, the uprights have a recess (35) which enables a carriage (20) equipped with toothed wheels (31) to pass the shelves during the sliding on the ground. The carriage is provided with a lifting system (36), activated by motor organs located inside the carriage (20).

摘要： A plant cultivation apparatus is provided, which can implement automatic spraying on leaf surfaces at any time and any number of times to improve production efficiency while preventing a facility equipped with the apparatus from having complex configuration and causing adverse effects on constituent parts. The apparatus includes a plurality of cultivation shelves 121 that store cultivation trays 110, transport means 130 for transferring the cultivation trays 110, and spraying means 140 for spraying a spray liquid on leaf surfaces of the plants. The spraying means 140 is arranged on a transfer path or at a transfer destination of each of the cultivation trays 110, and includes a separator 141 that forms a partitioned-off space, and a spray nozzle 143 that sprays the spray liquid toward interior of the space.

摘要： An adaptable handling system featuring a boundary subsystem and one or more robots. Each robot typically includes a chassis, a container lift mechanism moveable with respect to the robot chassis for transporting at least one container, a drive subsystem for maneuvering the chassis, a boundary sensing subsystem, a container detection subsystem, and a controller. The controller is responsive to the boundary sensing subsystem and the container detection subsystem and is configured to control the drive subsystem to follow a boundary once intercepted until a container is detected and turn until another container is detected. The controller then controls the container lift mechanism to place a transported container proximate the second detected container.
