Embodiments provide for systems and methods related to kiosks for personalizing a packaged article. The kiosks may also be used for storage, inventory management, retrieval, packaging, and/or personalization of packaged articles. The kiosks discussed herein differ from non-kiosk personalization systems, such as personalization systems installed on a factory or warehouse floor, in that the kiosks are self-contained personalization systems. In some embodiments, the kiosks are portable and can be moved between different sites or events. This portability allows the kiosks to personalize packaged articles for concerts, festivals, conventions, trade shows, and the like.

A warehouse storage and retrieval system including an array of multilevel storage racks having at least one transfer deck, picking isles and storage areas disposed along picking isles, the storage areas being configured to hold differing loads, and a controller including a management module configured to variably size the storage areas of the array of multilevel storage rack modules and assign each of the variably sized storage areas to a corresponding one of the differing loads, wherein the storage and retrieval system is arranged to transport the differing loads for placement in the variably sized storage areas assigned by the controller.

An apparatus (10, 60) for storage of elongate elements, such as pipes, tubes and conduits. The apparatus (10, 60) includes a frame (12) that supports a plurality of trays (15, 63). The trays (15, 63) are arranged in two vertical columns of storage positions, except for the trays located at the top or bottom of the apparatus as they are moved about sprockets (71, 72) by a drive motor (73). Each tray (15, 63) is configured to support a plurality of elongate items. The trays (15, 63, which may embodied as cradles or racks, may be moved between a storage position and an access position, wherein in the access position, the elongate items can be accessed from substantially vertically above the tray (15, 63).

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide adaptive autonomous guided vehicles capable of performing a myriad of specialized task operations. Some embodiments include a base vehicle, a vertical carousel including at least one carousel conveyor shelf, where the vertical carousel is affixable to a top of the based vehicle, and a rotatable top conveyor affixable to a top of the vertical carousel. Some embodiments include processing circuitry communicatively coupled to with each of the base vehicle, the vertical carousel, and the rotatable top conveyor, where the processing circuitry executes computer-coded instructions that at least partially cause the processing circuitry to control each of the base vehicle, the vertical carousel, and/or the rotatable top conveyor. The processing circuitry controls such components to perform any of a number of specific task operations. Some embodiments align multiple adaptive autonomous guided vehicles that interact to perform specific task operation(s).

A delivery apparatus, a delivery system, a delivery method, an electronic device, and a computer readable storage medium are disclosed. The delivery apparatus includes a movable detachably and electrically connected with a cabin, where the movable chassis is configured to include: a first controller mounted inside the movable chassis, and a moving component mounted at a bottom of the movable chassis and connected with the first controller to drive the movable chassis and the cabin to move to a target position according to an instruction of the first controller; the cabin is configured to have one or more accommodation spaces for accommodating to-be-delivered objects. The technical solution greatly improves the delivery efficiency and reduces the delivery cost.

A return roller is pivotally supported in a frame-fixed articulation region (20, 21) of a belt conveyor device having a transport belt. A pivot arm (30, 31) extends in a running direction (L) of the transport belt, orthogonal to a longitudinal axis (12) of the return roller, supporting it about the longitudinal axis. A pivot element (40) is spaced apart from the return roller in the running direction. A pivot bearing (22, 23) is arranged on the articulation region for mounting the pivot element for a pivoting movement of the pivot arm around a pivot axis between an operating position and an nonoperating position of the return roller. A bearing surface (24, 25), in a section perpendicular to the pivot axis, is formed as an open arc, with an opening (26, 27) having a center angle (φ) of less than 180°.

The present invention relates to the technical field of vertical automatic storage cabinets and provides a vertical automatic storage cabinet that comprises: a cabinet body; storage racks; a grasping structure and a conveying structure. In the present vertical automatic storage cabinet, at least two storage racks are provided to be spaced apart in the height direction of the cabinet body, and the grasping structure is located in the area between the two storage racks. When in use, the storage boxes on both the upper and lower sides can be taken off the mounting rack, then can be transferred to the conveying structure, and the storage boxes can be conveyed to the outside of the cabinet body.
