It is possible to lower the X-direction travel wheel 38 or the Y-direction travel wheel 48 so as to be set down on a travel passage by the travel wheel lifting and lowering unit and rotate the set-down travel wheel to cause the article moving device to travel in an X direction or a Y direction. It is possible to lift the article lifting and lowering unit to pick up an article on an article supporting member or lower the article lifting and lowering unit to transfer the article previously lifted by the article lifting and lowering unit onto the article supporting member.

An ore chute system, comprising: a chute box for collecting material and having a chute opening formed therein for discharging the material therethrough; a chute press gate mounted over the chute opening and moveable between an opened position to allow discharge of the material from the chute box and a closed position to prevent discharge of the material from the chute box; a chute press gate actuator coupled to the chute press gate and controllable to move the chute press gate between the opened position and the closed position; and, a chute press gate counterweight system coupled to the chute press gate and configured to move the chute press gate from the opened position to the closed position upon failure of the chute press gate actuator.

Of the type capable of being combined side by side with other similar units and compose an installation for storage, movement and dispatching of several volumes which can be packaged in boxes which are stacked on each module, each base comprising a structural module (1) with three functional sections that constitute real pavements, one lower (2) referred as ground floor, one intermediate defined as first floor (3) and one upper defined as support level (4), the latter has support locks (5) for the stacked boxes (6); each one of the two pavements (2and 3) are equally provide with four rails segments (7) and (8), on which work at least one movement robot (10) and one lifting robot (9); all this set is combined with other equal units fitted on all or any of its four sides, this combination also coincides with the alignment between all the rails (7) and (8) by configuring paths in the four directions of each structural module and which constitutes routes for the robots (9 and 10); said robots combine to remove the boxes (6) from each stack to place it on another base or to send it in anywhere point of the perimeter of the installation for dispatch.

A conveyor apparatus for transporting items along a conveying path from a loading station to a discharge station comprises a car that can be driven in a conveying direction along the conveying path, the car having a frame and a first load-handling device borne by the frame, which is mounted so as to be infinitely adjustable in height in a controlled manner relative to the frame, wherein a second load-handling device is arranged on the frame adjacent to the first load-handling device and is mounted independently thereof so as to be infinitely adjustable in height in a controlled manner.

An automated storage and retrieval system including at least one autonomous transport vehicle, a transfer deck that defines a transport surface for the vehicle, at least one reciprocating lift, a first and second pickface interface station connected to the deck and spaced apart from each other, each station forming a pickface transfer interfacing between the vehicle on the deck and the lift at each station so that a pickface is transferred between the lift and the vehicle at each station, wherein the vehicle is configured to pick a first pickface at the first station, traverse the deck and buffer the first pickface, or at least a portion thereof, at the second station so that the second station has multiple pickfaces buffered on a common support in an order sequence of pickfaces according to a predetermined case out order sequence of mixed case pickfaces.

A warehouse conveyor system can include an input conveyor path for conveying a parcel toward an inventory picking area. An input conveyor switch can divert the parcel from the input conveyor path to a predetermined pick zone for fulfillment. An output conveyor path can convey the parcel from the pick zone after fulfillment.

A plurality of three-dimensional (3D) cameras is deployed about a zone through which freight is conveyed to a shipping container. The 3D cameras have sensors with fields of view over which a plurality of point clouds of voxels are captured from the freight. A server combines the point clouds to obtain a composite point cloud of the freight, encloses the composite point cloud with a bounding box having dimensions, and dimensions the freight from the dimensions of the bounding box. An optional scale weighs the freight while it is being dimensioned and moved through the zone.

The invention relates to a storage product carrier (10) for a storage rack (100) that includes a plurality of support beams disposed one on top of the other at a distance from one another, the support beams being arranged in pairs on opposite side walls of the storage rack (100) and supporting the storage product carrier (10), wherein the storage product carrier (10) comprises a base plate (30) for storing a rollable storage product container (20) provided with at least one wheel (22), wherein the base plate (30) has at least one depression (40) for receiving the wheel (22) of the storage product container (20).
