SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING AN AUTOMATED DELIVERY SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method for enhancing an automated delivery system by implementing a laser scanning mechanism. The method accepts the consumer's order over the network and instructs the delivery vehicle to collect the item(s) as per the order placed by the consumer. As the delivery vehicle receives the order from the consumer, the vehicle starts moving towards the placer robot over a guideway track to collect the ordered item(s). Further, as the delivery vehicle identifies a light emitting device (LED) over the guideway track, the delivery vehicle stops at the specified location. As the delivery vehicle stops at the specified location, the motion detector instructs the LED device to emit a laser signal for scanning the delivery vehicle and based on the scanned information, the processing device instructs the placer robot(s) to retrieve and dispense the ordered item(s) into delivery vehicle.
