Embodiment Construction

[0033] Such as figure 1 , 2 As shown, stackable containers, also referred to as boxes 10 , are stacked one on top of the other to form a stack 12 . The stacks 12 are housed within a frame structure 14 located in a warehouse or production environment. figure 1 is a perspective view of frame structure 14, figure 2 Is a top view of a single stack 12 of boxes 10 positioned within a frame structure 14 . Each bin 10 typically contains a plurality of products (not shown), which may be identical in the bins 10, or may be different types of products depending on their application.

[0034]The frame structure 14 includes a plurality of vertical members 16 supporting horizontal members 18 , 20 . A first set of generally parallel substantially horizontal members 18 is arranged perpendicular to a second set of substantially mutually parallel substantially horizontal members 20 to form a plurality of horizontal grid structures supported by the vertical members 16 . Said pieces 16, 1...

Abstract

A storage system is described where goods are stored in containers (10) and the containers (10) are stored in stacks. Above the stacks runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices run. The containers (10) may be provided with one or more of the following services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensing means, and data logging means. The provision of these services within individual containers rather than across the system as a whole, allows for flexibility in storage whilst reducing cost and inefficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to storage systems. It relates particularly, but not exclusively, to storage systems comprising storage boxes or containers in the form of stacks. Background technique [0002] This application claims priority to the following UK patent applications: GB1506365.4 filed 15 April 2015, GB1514428.0 filed 13 August 2015, GB1518089.6 filed 13 October 2015, 2016 GB1602332.7 submitted on October 9, GB1518091.2 submitted on October 13, 2015, GB1518094.6 submitted on October 13, 2015, GB1518111.8 submitted on October 13, 2015, October 13, 2015 GB1518115.9 filed on October 13, 2015, GB1518117.5 filed on October 13, 2015, and GB1603328.4 filed on February 25, 2016. All the above application contents are incorporated in this application by reference. [0003] Some commercial and industrial activities require systems that can access a large number of different products. A well-known system for accessing items in a multi-product line ...
