Abstract: An unmanned warehouse shuttle with telescopic arms capable of handling various sizes of packages and moving them fast and stably on rails within a warehouse system. The system provides flexibility in that a distance between the side compartments is adjustable and that the distance between the arms is adjustable. A unique extension system for the extendable arms is disclosed where the arms comprise two parts and are configured to extend and provide an extension length that is more than twice the depth of the platform of the shuttle.

Abstract: A modular automated storage device and a method to operate the device is disclosed. The device can be built to different sizes and capacities depending on the number and type of modules used. A typical device has a multitude of storage modules connected to each other in one or more stories, one or more lift modules each having one or more lifts and each lift module being connected to at least one storage module. Underneath the storage modules there is a conveyor system comprising one or more conveyor modules. Each of the lift modules is configured to connect a conveyor module and one or more storage modules. Each lift in the lift modules is configured to move crates between the conveyor modules and the storage modules. The device has at least one console for loading crates and at least one console to receive the crates.
