    Abstract: A method, control system (500) and computer program for routing and rerouting of container handling vehicles (201) handling storage containers (106) in an automated storage and retrieval system comprising a framework structure (100) forming a three-dimensional storage grid structure (104) for storing the storage containers 106 in storage columns (105), the framework structure including a grid-based rail system (108) arranged above the storage columns (105) with the rail system (108) providing available routes for the container handling vehicles (201) handling and transferring the storage containers (106) to and from the storage columns (105), and wherein each container handling vehicle (201) comprises a first set of wheels configured to move the vehicle along a first lateral direction (X) of the grid-based rail system and a second set of wheels configured to move the vehicle along a second lateral direction (Y) of the grid-based rail system (108), the second direction (Y) being perpendicular to the first direction (X), the movements of the container handling vehicles being controlled by a control system (500), that determines which tasks are to be done by specified container handling vehicles (201), destination locations for performing the tasks and which routes the container handling vehicles (201) are to travel on the rail system (108). The method comprises the following steps performed by the control system (500) when executing the computer program: running (410) a multi- agent pathfinding algorithm, MAPF, in the control system (500) for establishing and assigning routes on the rail system (108) for the container handling vehicles (201) from their current locations to assigned tasks at destination locations; determining (420) how far the container handling vehicles (201) can travel on a first part of the assigned routes within a set time interval, the first part being shorter than the assigned routes to the destinations; locking (430) the first parts of the assigned routes that the container handling vehicles (201) can travel within the set time interval; instructing (440) the container handling vehicles (201) to move from their current locations to an end location on the assigned locked routes; repeating steps above.

    Abstract: An automated storage and retrieval system for storing specialized goods in storage containers (106) in an isolating housing (800), having walls and a roof. Openable and closable hatches (804) are arranged in the roof. A rail system is arranged above the roof, upon which rail system may travel container handling vehicles (301), which may be positioned with its lifting device positioned above a hatch. A storage tower (400) is arranged inside the isolating housing, the storage tower being accessible to a container handling vehicle though the hatch. The storage tower has a number of vertically stacked, horizontally movable container supports (402) in the form of shelves upon which may rest a plurality of storage containers and one or more openings (403) corresponding in size to a storage container such that storage containers may pass therethrough. The container supports may align their openings to form a tower port beneath a hatch, through which the container handling vehicle may lower its lifting device though the hatch, down the tower port, and access the target container.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a set (10) of moulded panels which can be assembled together to form a storage container (11) for an automated storage and retrieval system (1). The set (10) of panels comprises a rectangular base panel (20) and four side panels (30, 40, 50, 60). The base panel (20) is moulded with a perimeter profile (24). Each of the side panels (30, 40, 50, 60) is moulded with a lower edge profile (34, 44, 54, 64). The lower edge profiles (34, 44, 54, 64) of each side panel are slidingly engaged with the perimeter profile (24) during assembly of the storage container (11). Each of the side panels (30, 40, 50, 60) are moulded with side edge profiles (36, 46, 56, 66) which are to be slidingly engaged with the side edge profiles (36, 46, 56, 66) of adjacent side panels during assembly of the storage container (11).
