A dynamic movement analytics system is disclosed that includes a programmable motion device including an end-effector, and a perception transfer system for receiving an object from the end-effector and for moving the object toward a distribution conveyance system moving in a first direction at a first speed. The perception transfer system includes at least one perception system for providing perception data regarding any of weight, shape, pose authority, position authority or identity information regarding the object and for moving the object along the first direction at the first speed for transferring the object to the distribution conveyance system.

This disclosure is directed to automated warehouse facilities that are configured to assemble mixed pallets. The warehouse facilities can include one or more layer handling devices that are configured to remove layers from pallets in a delayering operational mode, and to add layers to pallets in a palletizing operation mode. The warehouse facilities also may include one or more item retrieval devices that are configured to retrieve individual items from storage racks. The warehouse facilities can include other automated devices as well.

A robot and a robot-based container storage and removal method. The robot comprises: a master control processing unit (110), a pick-and-place mechanism (120) and a marker detection unit (130), wherein according to target storage and removal position information of a target inventory container, the master control processing unit (110) controls a robot body to move to a first horizontal position and controls the pick-and-place mechanism (120) to move to a first height position; when the robot body and the pick-and-place mechanism (120) stop moving, the marker detection unit (130) determines a target pick-and-place marker from a target inventory support to which the target inventory container belongs; and the master control processing unit (110) also calibrates the position of the pick-and-place mechanism (120) according to the position of the target pick-and-place marker, so as to control the calibrated pick-and-place mechanism (120) to perform a storage operation or a removal operation on the target inventory container. By means of the solution, a pick-and-place position of a pick-and-place mechanism (120) of the robot can be precisely positioned and moved, such that the pick-and-place mechanism (120) can quickly and accurately store or remove a target inventory container.

A method and a central belt system for order-picking articles into order packages transported with a container conveyor, having a central belt which has a conveying direction toward the container conveyor, with the central belt having first and second belt areas in the transverse direction to the conveying direction, and having first and second article chutes associated with the first and second belt areas for ejecting articles into the first and second belt areas. The central belt system has a control in order to eject articles from the first article chutes during a first time window according to a first order and to eject articles from the second article chutes during a second time window according to a second order.

A loading/unloading system for a quay type full-automatic container terminal includes a plurality of shore cranes, an operation lane area between two rails of the shore cranes, an operation area from a rear side of a landside rail of the shore cranes to a yard, an automatic container yard area, an operation lane area of the yard, and facilities behind the yard. The shore cranes are disposed in parallel at a front edge of a container terminal to autonomously complete shipping and unshipping operations of containers, and autonomously complete loading/unloading processes of artificial intelligence transportation robots through information interaction with an artificial intelligence transportation robot system. The operation lane area between two rails of the shore cranes includes: a lambdoidal reverse operation area of inner container trucks, a ship lofting operation area, and a loading/unloading operation area of the inner container trucks, which are physically isolated by fences.

A method of fulfilling orders by making orders available in order units by picking from product units in a storage facility that includes a routed product order picking area, and an automated storage and retrieval racking area that is upstream from the routed products order picking area and connected thereto by a routing conveyor. The method includes reassigning order fulfillment of orders requiring products from product units requiring many exchanges between adjoining storage racks from a source storage rack to an adjacent storage rack via cross conveyance locations in the storage racks themselves to reach a destination storage rack, where the orders are reassigned to the routed products order picking area for parallel order fulfillment such that bottlenecks within the automated storage and retrieval racking area can be prevented or at least decreased.

A method for order-picking goods in which individual goods are removed from store from a goods collection, are combined in accordance with stipulations to form goods groups and, in the form of these goods groups, are output for further processing. A simple and flexible type of order picking is achieved in that the combining of goods to form goods groups is carried out in pockets suspended on a suspension conveyor.

A method for order picking and packing individual goods conveyed overhead. The Method conveys the individual goods overhead in an overhead conveyor facility by means of overhead adapters, providing the individual goods of at least one order in a preparation buffer, conveying the individual goods of the at least one order onto a transport trolley which can be coupled to the preparation buffer in a trolley station, uncoupling the transport trolley from the trolley station, transporting the transport trolley with the individual goods of the at least one order to a packing place and packing the individual goods into orders at the packing place.

An article transport facility includes support columns (2) and support beams (5) that are coupled to the support columns (2) and support rails (7). The support beams (5) each include a beam body (50), attachment members (55) for attachment to the support columns (2), and support members (60) that are fixed to the beam body (50) and are for supporting the rails (7). A support beam (5) and a support column (2) are coupled together by locking portions (59) provided on the attachment members (55) being locked to lock receiving portions (21) formed in the support column 2, and by binding with use of first binding members (B1) inserted through first through holes (66) formed in the support members (60).

Embodiments of this application disclose methods and apparatuses for processing information for a goods-picking container, and a store system including a first area for storing goods and performing a plurality of goods-picking tasks, wherein each of the plurality of goods-picking tasks corresponds to one of one or more delivery batches and is performed with one of a plurality of goods-picking containers; an automatic transfer device configured to automatically transfer each of the plurality of goods-picking containers containing goods picked according to a corresponding goods-picking task in the first area to the second area; the second area for grouping the plurality of goods-picking containers into one or more groups, and for transferring the group of goods-picking containers to a third area; and the third area for packing the goods contained in the plurality of goods-picking containers according to each of the plurality of delivery batches.
