Embodiment Construction

[0032] In use, such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, a stackable container (referred to as a case 10 ) is stacked on top of another stackable container to form a stack 12 . Stacks 12 are placed in a frame structure 14 in a warehouse or manufacturing environment. figure 1 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the frame structure 14, figure 2 is a top view of a single stack 12 of boxes 10 disposed within a frame structure 14 . Each box 10 generally stores a plurality of product items (not shown), and the product items in the box 10 may be of the same or different product types as required by the actual application.

[0033]The frame structure 14 includes a plurality of strut members 16 supporting generally horizontal members 18 , 20 . A first set of generally parallel generally horizontal members 18 is arranged perpendicular to a second set of generally parallel generally horizontal members 20 to form a plurality of horizontal grid structures supported by strut m...

Abstract

A storage system is described where goods are stored in containers (10) and the containers (10) are stored in stacks (12). Above the stacks (12) runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices (30) run. The load handling (30) devices take containers (10) from the stacks (12) and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked out. The framework (14) may be provided with one or more of the following services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensing means, and data logging means. The provision of these services within the framework rather than across the system as a whole, allows for flexibility in storage whilst reducing cost and inefficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to storage systems. More particularly, but not exclusively, it relates to storage systems having storage boxes in the form of stacks positioned in a grid structure. Background technique [0002] This application claims priority to the following UK patent applications: GB1506365.4 filed 15 April 2015, GB1514428.0 filed 13 August 2015, GB1518089.6 filed 13 October 2015, 2016 GB1602332.7 submitted on October 9, GB1518091.2 submitted on October 13, 2015, GB1518094.6 submitted on October 13, 2015, GB1518111.8 submitted on October 13, 2015, October 13, 2015 GB1518115.9 filed on October 13, 2015, GB1518117.5 filed on October 13, 2015, and GB1603328.4 filed on February 25, 2016, the contents of all the above applications are incorporated herein by reference. [0003] Some commercial and industrial activities require systems that can access a large number of different products. One known system for accessing items on several pro...
