  • Document storage and retrieval apparatus and method
    Patent number: 4786229
    Abstract: A document and storage retrieval system including a plurality of containers, each having machine readable identifying indicia thereon. The containers are positioned by automatic palletizing apparatus on each of a plurality of pallets. The identity of the containers on each pallet is correlated with a storage location address assigned by a controller. Additionally identifying indicia for the pallet is preferably correlated to the address. On retrieval of a selected container, the pallet is retrieved, all of the containers are removed from the pallet, the selected container is sorted from the remaining containers, and all of the remaining containers are repalletized and reassigned a new address in the storage volume. The address or location of containers in the storage volume is dynamically changing, but the controller for the system always has a correlation of container identities and storage location addresses.
