A system and method of scanning a number of objects such as crates or intermodal containers in a storage area having a plurality of movable racks, each rack occupying at least one level and capable of carrying at least one object. The racks are capable of being moved to establish successive vacant multi-level aisles among the racks. At least one scanner is movable substantially vertically within the successive vacant aisles to scan successive objects substantially adjacent to each vacant aisle to detect at least one pre-determined characteristic. |

selecting a storage area having a plurality of movable racks, each rack occupying at least one level and capable of carrying at least one object; selecting a scanner; establishing a first vacant multi-level aisle among the racks; moving the scanner substantially vertically within the first vacant aisle to scan successive objects substantially adjacent to the first vacant aisle to detect at least one pre-determined characteristic; establishing at least a second vacant multi-level aisle among the racks; and moving the scanner substantially vertically within at least the second vacant aisle to scan additional objects substantially adjacent to the second vacant aisle. |
