THREE-DIMENSIONAL AUTOMATED PICK MODULE

摘要

Individual items or multiple items are stored on vertical stacks (or rack s) of conveyors. The stacks of conveyors are located on both sides of a vert ical transport on which cartons, totes, and/or pallets are loaded. The verti cal transport is able to be vertically lifted in a fashion similar to an ele vator so that the totes on the conveyor can receive items from the various l evels of the storage rack conveyors. To speed up the loading process, items can be loaded in the containers simultaneously from both sides of the contai ner and/or sequentially. In one form, a cross-belt conveyor is used to load the items. Alternatively or additionally, robotic arms can be used to load t he items. One or more conveyor drivers can be used to power multiple conveyo rs in order to index items to a loading position on the conveyors.
