Patent number: 10974900Abstract: An item picking and replenishment method is provided. According to the item picking and replenishment method, an item position corresponding to at least one item is output according to an order by a host, and the item position is received by a processing unit of a picking vehicle. A moving signal is generated by the processing unit according to a current position of the picking vehicle and the item position. A rotary encoder of the picking vehicle is used to move the picking vehicle to the item position according to the moving signal. The item is obtained from a shelf by an insertion fork of the picking vehicle. The insertion fork is disposed on a placement layer of a placement shelf, and the placement layer is a tilted layer.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Chen-Jyh Fan, Wan-Ru Huang

Patent number: 9913535Abstract: A locker system includes a body, a driving unit, and a computer unit. The body includes a casing, a separating plate, horizontal plates, vertical plates and covering plates. The separating plate is disposed inside the casing to form an accommodating space and a storage space. The horizontal plates and the vertical plates are disposed inside the accommodating space and cooperate with the casing to form accommodating subspaces. Each covering plate is pivoted to the casing. The driving unit connects to the horizontal plates and the vertical plates. The computer unit obtains the size of an object. When the size of the object exceeds a preset size, the computer unit sends a driving signal to the driving unit, and the driving unit controls at least one horizontal plate or at least one vertical plate to move into the storage space according to the driving signal to accommodate the object.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2015Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Tsang-Gang Lin, Chen-Jyh Fan, Ching-Tsung Cheng, Chao-Hui Tu, Yung-Ping Tien
