A delivery system for delivery items includes sidewalls that define a cargo space. A retention assembly is operably coupled to the sidewalls. The retention assembly includes a housing and a retention feature that is operably coupled to the housing. The retention feature has an attachment portion and a control unit that is operably coupled with the retention feature. A controller is communicatively coupled to the control unit of the retention assembly, and a memory storage is communicatively coupled with the controller.

The disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for a reconfigurable on-board package sorting system for a delivery vehicle including an enclosed storage compartment with a horizontal plane, a plurality of bins for holding packages, each bin including a computer readable identifier, a set of correlated conveyor belts on each horizontal plane, the correlated conveyors belts sized as a function of the bins, including at conveyor belts linearly oriented on the horizontal plane, mixing conveyors, each oriented adjacent to each convey belt to provide directional transition to a next conveyor belt, wherein the correlated conveyor belts provide directional movement of the bins in a loop on the horizontal plane by selective rotation of each conveyor belt, and a computer including a processor and memory to receive data from each identifier, the processor including instructions to: identify a location of bin and direct the operation of the correlated conveyor belts.

A deployable rack platform for loading and transportation of flat glass comprising a system allowing the rack platform to turn from a horizontal position, being totally flat, to a different position featuring diverse opening angles within a vehicle chassis. Particularly, a deployable rack for loading and transportation of flat glass wherein the rack platform achieves a horizontal position within a maximum period of 5 minutes, enabling the platform to take advantage up to 100% of the original surface of the platform initial position (e.g., before loading flat glass) wherein the process does not require the transportation of flat sheets or where the proceed needs to be loaded with different goods, merchandise, or raw materials. The rack platform comprises a highly versatile system for different types of transportation by optimizing space and savings, since the platform supports a load up to 20 tons.

A delivery robot control apparatus for controlling a delivery robot to unload an object and a method thereof are disclosed. A camera is provided in the delivery robot having an internal loading space for one or more floors and obtains an image including a door module which is provided in the delivery robot and connected to a frame forming the internal loading space. The controller determines up and low positions of the door module based on the image, and controls a first motor to move the door module to a target position based on the determined up or low position of the door module.

A trailer for carrying plate glass has an elongated deck and an elongated rigid beam that extends above the deck. The beam supports plate glass transported by the trailer. The deck and the beam may be made from aluminum.

A method of operating a watercraft carrier includes activating a handle at an outboard end of a base of the watercraft carrier. The activating the handle releases a locking mechanism of an upright. The locking mechanism is disposed at a distal end of the base. The method further includes rotating the upright from a first position to a second position.

Methods are described that perform a dispatched consumer-to-store return or swap logistics operation for an item being replaced using a modular autonomous bot apparatus assembly and a dispatch server. The method begins with receiving a return operation dispatch command that includes identifier information, transport parameters, and designated pickup information for the item being replaced/returned, along with authentication information related to an authorized supplier of the item being replaced. Modular components of the bot apparatus are verified to be compatible with the dispatched logistics operation. The MAM then autonomously causes the bot apparatus to move to the designated pickup location, notifies the authorized supplier of an approaching pickup, receives supplier authorization input to permissively allow access to a payload area within the bot apparatus, monitors loading as the item being replaced is received along with return documentation, and then autonomously causes movement of the bot apparatus back to the origin location.

A shelving system includes side members that each define a first channel having a slide disposed therein. A cross member extends between and connects the slides. The cross member defines a second channel having a guide member disposed therein. The guide member defines a third channel and a flange. A container includes side walls having a rail. One of the rails is movably disposed in the third channel. The rails include a first locking element and a second locking element. The handle includes a third locking element that engages the first locking element. The handle is movable between a first position in which the second locking element engages the flange and the container is fixed relative to the guide member and a second position in which the second locking element is spaced apart from the flange and the container can translate relative to the guide member.

The present disclosure envisages a mobile power storage, transport and distribution system (100). The system (100) comprises a plurality of storage container units (200), a plurality of energy storage elements (206), a power station (102), and loading means (111), and transportation means (105). The power station (102) is configured to generate electrical power and charge the plurality of energy storage elements (206). The loading means (111) is configured to load each of the storage container units (200). The transportation means (105) is configured to transport the storage container units (200) from the power station (102) to the power consumption centers (104) in need of power and a discharged storage container units (200) back to the power station (102) for recharging energy storage elements (206).
