Publication number: 20170137218Abstract: A material handling system including a receptacle; a loading opening disposed within the receptacle; a transfer opening disposed within the receptacle in adjacent angled relation to the loading opening; and a first compaction plate rotatably coupled proximate the receptacle between the loading opening and the transfer opening. As to particular embodiments, the material handling system can further include a second compaction plate movably disposed proximate the transfer opening. Upon rotation of the first compaction plate toward the second compaction plate in an immovable condition, material disposed between the first and second compaction plates is compacted to generate compacted material. As to particular embodiments, the material handling system can further include a rotatable arm and a rotatable gripper rotatably coupled to a rotatable arm first end. As to particular embodiments, the rotatable arm can be rotatably coupled to an extendable arm which can reversibly extend laterally outward.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2017Publication date: May 18, 2017Applicant: MYTMULE, LLCInventors: Robert Scott Newkirk, Dean Alan Prochnow, Ryan Andrew Marsh

Publication number: 20170137219Abstract: In a transport vehicle system, when a first transport vehicle passes through a predetermined point, a controller determines whether picking up an article at a high-priority transfer point would slow down or stop other transport vehicles, which pick up articles at transfer points on a downstream side, according to states of the other transport vehicles. If the other transport vehicles would be slowed down or stopped, a command is issued to the first transport vehicle to pick up the article at the transfer point on the downstream side. If the other transport vehicles will not be slowed down or stopped, a command is issued to the first transport vehicle to pick up the article at the high-priority transfer point.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2015Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventor: Kazumi HARASAKI

Publication number: 20170137220Abstract: An article transport facility comprises storage sections, a transport device, a controller, and a learning module. The transport device has a transfer device having a support portion, and a light-emitter-receiver. The controller is caused to store information that indicates a second target position at which the transfer device is located when transferring an article, and information that indicates a first target position to which the support portion is moved. Each of a plurality of storage sections is provided with a reflector. A learning control performed by the controller is a control in which a first target position and a second target position are learned based on information of an image of the reflector captured by the imaging device of the learning module and pre-learning position information. Each reflector has a first area which forms the periphery of the reflector, and a second area in the first area.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2016Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventors: Junichi Sakamoto, Hideo Yoshioka

Publication number: 20170137221Abstract: When an external force applied condition that an external force that causes a decrease in a rotational speed of an electric motor is applied to the contact member moved by the electric motor is satisfied while the actuation controller is performing a first control for continuously performing a process of providing the electric motor with a command value that depends on an error between an actual rotational speed of the electric motor and a first target rotational speed so as to cause the actual rotational speed to approach the first target rotational speed, then the actuation controller, subsequent to the first control, performs a second control for providing the electric motor with a command value that allows the actual rotational speed of the motor to be equal to, and to fall below, the first target rotational speed at a time of the external force applied condition becoming satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2016Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventor: Hiroyuki Koide

Publication number: 20170137222Abstract: An automated warehouse storage system including a multilevel storage array is provided. Each aisle has a set of storage levels and each level has storage locations distributed along the aisle. The guideway network extending through the multilevel storage array is configured for autonomous vehicles to move along the guideway network within the multilevel storage array. The guideway network including an inter-aisle guideway spanning at least two of the multiple aisles and a set of guideway levels extending in an aisle of the multiple aisles and disposed so that each guideway level is at a different one of the storage levels and the vehicles on the guideway level can access the storage locations distributed along the aisle. Each set of guideway levels is connected to the inter-aisle guideway forming a common guideway path so that a vehicle can move between inter-aisle guideway and each guideway level along the common guideway path.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2017Publication date: May 18, 2017Inventor: John Lert, JR.
