Publication number: 20200130934Abstract: A storage system is disclosed where goods can be stored in containers and the containers are stored in stacks. Above the stacks runs a grid network of rails (e.g., tracks) on which load handling devices can run. To take containers from the stacks and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked. The framework may be provided with one or more of the following exemplary services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensors, and data logging devices. The provision of these services within the framework rather than across the system as a whole, can allow for flexibility in storage whilst reducing cost and inefficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2019Publication date: April 30, 2020Applicant: OCADO INNOVATION LIMITEDInventors: Paul CLARKE, Lars Sverker Ture LINDBO, Andrew John INGRAM-TEDD, Pawel KAROLINCZAK
