An automated, multi-tiered system and process for storing objects includes the ability to efficiently store and retrieve objects. The system may include a number of object entrance ports (110), object exit ports (120), elevators (180), horizontal transportation systems (190), and storage levels (132), each storage level including a number storage bays (140). The horizontal transportation systems may move objects (108) after they have been mounted on frames (230). The movements of an object (108) entering and departing the multi-tiered system may be based on ordered, anticipated tasks, for the purpose of enhancing the system layout and operation. |
