Abstract:
A growing system is described where plants are grown in containers 10 and the containers (10) are stored in stacks (12). Above the stacks (12) runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices (30) run. The load handling devices take containers (10) from the stacks (12) and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked out. The containers (10) may be provided with one or more of the following services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensing means, data logging means, growing means, water and nutrients. The provision of these services within individual containers rather than across the system as a whole, allows for flexibility in storage whilst reducing cost and inefficiency and enables multiple crops to be grown in a single area.

Abstract:
A storage system is described where goods are stored in containers (10) and the containers (10) are stored in stacks (12). Above the stacks (12) runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices (30) run. The load handling (30) devices take containers (10) from the stacks (12) and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked out. The framework (14) may be provided with one or more of the following services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensing means, and data logging means. The system describes a method of partitioning the storage system to prevent the spread of fire or prevent damage caused by sprinkler activation.
Abstract:
A bin 10A is described for use on a robotic picking system grid. The bin is capable of removing liquids from beneath a robotic picking system following spillages or sprinkler deployments.
Abstract:
A system and method for handling shipping containers (40) is described. The container handling system comprises a crane (100), the crane (100) comprising crane load handling devices (110). The container handling system further comprises conveyance means (130), the conveyance means (130) further comprising transversal load handling devices (120). The system further comprises storage and sortation means for storing the containers (40) in a series of stacks (400) disposed beneath a grid (300), the grid comprising a series of load handling devices (310) operable thereon. The crane load handling device (110) removes a container (40) from a ship (10), transports it to transversal load handling means operable on a conveyor (150). The container (40) is moved on the conveyor (150) to a transfer point (140) where it is collected by a robotic load handling device (310) for transport to the storage and sortation area.
Abstract:
A robotic parking device (100) is described. The device (100) comprises a number of stacks (110) of containers (10) as shown in Figure 3, the stacks (110) being positioned within a frame structure (70) comprising uprights (72) and a horizontal grid (74) disposed above the stacks (110), the grid comprising substantially perpendicular rails (74a, 74b) on which load handling devices (50) can run. Cars or vehicles (20) are positioned in containers that are moved in to and out of the stacks (110) by the robotic handling devices running on the grid. The cars are put in to the grid at entry points that may be positioned at points under the stacks (110).
Abstract:
A modular building system or storage system is described. The system comprises a number of stacks (110) of containers (1) as shown in Figure 2, the stacks (110) being positioned within a frame structure comprising uprights and a horizontal grid disposed above the stacks (110), the grid comprising substantially perpendicular rails (74a, 74b) on which load handling devices (310) can run. Containers (1) having functions associated with a number of residential or commercial uses are moved in to and out of the stacks (110) by the robotic handling devices running on the grid. The containers (1) disposed in the stacks (110) are selected by function on demand by a user. In this way the building is reconfigurable to take in to account required uses.
