To provide a low-temperature storage system that can reduce unusable idle spaces to improve space efficiency for storing storage objects and to prevent a drop in cooling efficiency with simple structure. The low-temperature storage system includes a low-temperature storage chamber accommodating a rotary storage shelf, a moving mechanism having a holding part to carry a storage rack thereon for loading and unloading a storage object in the storage rack, and a picking stage. The holding part is located such that its center axis along a direction of its back and forth movement does not intersect a rotating shaft of the rotary storage shelf. The rotary storage shelf stores the storage rack such that the storage rack, when brought to a removal position, is oriented in a same direction as that of a storage rack placed on the picking stage.

The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a warehouse robot to store and fetch inventory materials. The method includes: instructing a material handling device to fetch a second inventory material located in the front row, and placing the second inventory material on a first tray; instructing the material handling device to fetch a first inventory material located in the back row, and placing the first inventory material on a second tray; and instructing the material handling device to return the second inventory material to the front row. By instructing the material handling device to fetch the inventory materials and storing the inventory materials in the trays, the inventory materials can be extracted from a designated shelf and stored in a warehouse, navigation is realized in a crowded warehouse filled with obstacles, and the inventory materials whose positions have been transferred can be processed.

An autonomous mobile robot includes a placement part, an arm configured to extend from and retract into the placement part in a horizontal direction, and a control unit configured to control a movement of the arm. The control unit moves a tip of the arm into a groove formed in a bottom surface of an object supported from underneath thereof, and then the control unit returns the tip of the arm hooked in the groove to the placement part, or the control unit moves the tip of the arm hooked in a groove formed in a bottom surface of an object placed on the placement part toward a rack configured to support the object from underneath thereof.

A method for operating an automated storage and retrieval system includes transferring a first item storage container from an aisle to a first region of a first storage location, positioning a second item storage container in the aisle proximate the first item storage container, interlocking the second item storage container to the first item storage container by engaging a releasable coupling structure extending there between, and applying, in a first direction transverse to the aisle, a force to the second item storage container sufficient in magnitude and duration to cause the first item storage container to occupy the second region of the first storage location and the second item storage container to occupy the first region of the first storage location, whereby the first and second item storage containers remain interlocked while in the first storage location.

An industrial truck includes a base chassis, a rigid transport frame having at least one transport platform on which goods are transportable and at least one supporting beam which is arranged above the at least one transport platform, a lifting apparatus which raises, lowers and laterally shifts the rigid transport frame, and a moving apparatus which raises, lowers and laterally shifts the goods at least relative to the rigid transport frame. The moving apparatus is mounted on the at least one supporting beam.

An apparatus for storage of a carrying material, includes: a body frame; a plurality of loading members installed on the body frame and disposed such that a carrying material forms a plurality of layers in upper and lower directions; a driving unit connected to at least one of the plurality of loading members; and an auxiliary coupling unit provided in a portion of the plurality of loading members for attachment and detachment to and from a neighboring loading member, wherein the plurality of loading members are provided with a plurality of first loading members fixedly installed at a lower end portion of the body frame, and a plurality of second loading members disposed above the first loading member and movably installed on the body frame, wherein the driving unit is connected to at least one of the plurality of second loading members, wherein the auxiliary coupling unit includes an electromagnet installed at one end of the second loading members, and a magnetic body installed at the other end of the second loading members and the body frame to correspond to the electromagnet.

A storage and retrieval unit having a carriage which can be moved along a linear guide arranged on a floor in a shelf aisle in the direction of an X axis and which supports a vertical mast which extends perpendicular to the X axis in the direction of a vertical Y axis. A load receiver is mounted by one end only on a support device and can be moved vertically to a shelf compartment along the mast together with the support device, and inserted in the direction of a Z axis running perpendicular to the X axis and perpendicular to the Y axis into a shelf compartment, and the pulled back out of the same. The load receiver is additionally pivotable about a pivot axis X.sub.1 running parallel to the X axis, such that it can be brought into a position inclined downward towards the floor.
