Embodiment Construction

[0034] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, a stackable container (referred to as container 10 ) is stacked on top of another stackable container to form a stack 12 . Stacks 12 are placed in a frame structure 14 in a warehouse or manufacturing environment. figure 1 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the frame structure 14, figure 2 is a top view of a single stack 12 of containers 10 disposed within a frame structure 14 . Each container 10 generally stores multiple product items (not shown), and the product items in the container 10 can be of the same or different product types depending on the needs of the actual application.

[0035]The frame structure 14 includes a plurality of struts 16 supporting horizontal members 18 , 20 . The first set of parallel horizontal members 18 is arranged perpendicular to the second set of parallel horizontal members 20 to form a plurality of horizontal grid structures supported by the strut members 16 . The members 16, 18 ...

Abstract

A growing system is described where plants are grown in containers 10 and the containers (10) are stored in stacks (12). Above the stacks (12) runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices (30) run. The load handling devices take containers (10) from the stacks (12) and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked out. The containers (10) may be provided with one or more of the following services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensing means, data logging means, growing means, water and nutrients. 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 and enables multiple crops to be grown in a single area.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to breeding systems and methods. More particularly, but not exclusively, it relates to mechanized plant cultivation systems. 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, the contents of all the above applications are incorporated herein by reference. [0003] Conventional systems and methods for breeding specific crops are well known. Most of these require large areas of land and are placed in suitable locations to meet the conditions required for the crops t...
