  • Patent number: 10021972
    Abstract: A cantilever shelving system is disclosed and can include a frame structure, a cantilever shelf support structure, and a plurality of load-bearing shelves that can be supported by the cantilever shelf support structure and the frame structure. The shelves can be positioned laterally adjacent to cantilever support arms of the cantilever shelf support structure, and the shelf support surfaces can be coplanar with upper walls of the cantilever support arms. Ends of laterally adjacent shelves do not overlap with a front side of a vertical support member to which the cantilever support arm is mounted. The cantilever shelving system can accommodate various user requirements over known shelf systems and can be operably integrated with standard industrial and/or commercial machinery or equipment with which it may be used.

  • Patent number: 9773092
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an inventory management system that offers significant improvement over existing systems by automating requests to restock inventory. The present disclosure details an inventory management system that provides real time visibility to stock levels and streamlines materials management activities, while addressing the issues of human resource misallocations, inaccurate inventory data management and related out of stock conditions. Moreover, the system of the present disclosure promotes a high level of confidence in inventory data that enables on-hand inventory levels to be reduced, thereby reducing costs and waste.

  • Patent number: 9622574
    Abstract: A tray support rack has a top member, a bottom member, a first frame that extends from the top member to the bottom member on a first side of the tray support rack, and a second frame that extends from the top member to the bottom member on a second side of the tray support rack. The first frame includes a first set of parallel rails, with each parallel rail of the set being spaced apart from another parallel rail to define a first guide space therebetween, and a first bottom support rail spaced apart from the first set of parallel rails. The second frame includes a second set of parallel rails, with each parallel rail of the set being spaced apart from another parallel rail to define a second guide space therebetween, and a second bottom support rail spaced apart from the second set of parallel rails.

  • Patent number: 9295331
    Abstract: A storage device having a locking mechanism includes a housing having a frame assembly. A storage device is movably received in the housing. An actuator is connected to the frame assembly, the actuator operating to move a cam member. A latch is connected to the frame assembly and is moved by contact with the cam member from a latched position preventing access to the storage device in the housing to an unlatched position permitting access to the storage device. An unlock-all mechanism operates to move the latch to the unlatched position without operation of the actuator.

  • Publication number: 20160015167
    Abstract: A mobile computer workstation is disclosed and generally includes a base assembly, a power supply, a column assembly, a tray assembly, a monitor support assembly and a tray controller. The power supply can be housed in the base assembly. The column assembly is linearly extensible and extends upward from the base assembly. The column assembly can carry the tray assembly and monitor support assembly. The workstation can be optionally configured with a variety of storage solutions for any of a number of work environments and tasks. The tray assembly can house a computer that is integrated into the workstation. The tray controller provides a measure of security for the workstation by allowing access to the workstation and control over its features only by authorized users.

  • Publication number: 20160019367
    Abstract: A medication storage and dispensing workstation for use in a medication management system administering the inventory and distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies in a healthcare environment is disclosed. The workstation incorporates a linear drawer assembly having a plurality of discrete, removable, storage modules for containing medications and/or other medical supplies. The storage modules are arranged in a linear array extending longitudinally along the travel path of the linear drawer assembly. Each storage module, in turn, comprises a drawer that is extensible laterally relative to the linear arrangement of the storage modules. As such, the drawer assemblies comprise a compartmentalized “drawer-in-drawer” arrangement that provides an efficient use of storage space and enables a user to utilize the workstation in a workspace having a smaller footprint that traditional storage cabinet apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20160006992
    Abstract: A mobile computer workstation includes a base assembly including a plurality of wheels, an adjustable column assembly mounted to the base assembly and adapted to support a computer monitor, and a camera configured to communicate a video signal, the camera being mounted on the workstation such that a line of sight of the camera is directed rearward from the computer monitor. The workstation further includes a computing device stored within the workstation operatively coupled to the camera and the computer monitor. The computing device is configured to determine whether the workstation is moving based on a comparison of a sensed motion of the workstation and a predetermined motion threshold and, in response to the comparison, initiate the camera, receive the video signal from the camera, and display the video signal on the computer monitor.

  • Publication number: 20150042217
    Abstract: A storage device having discrete drawers includes a housing having a frame assembly. A drawer assembly is movably received in the housing. A cover is fixedly mounted atop the drawer assembly preventing access to the contents of the drawer assembly. The drawer assembly is further divided into at least two discrete compartments. An actuator is connected to the frame assembly, the actuator operating to move the drawer assembly along a drawer slide slidably outward from the housing. At least two second actuators are connected to said drawer assembly, each actuator operating to move one of the at least two discrete compartments outward from the drawer assembly such that the cover does not move along with the compartment.
