Embodiment Construction

[0083] First refer to the attached figure 1 -5. The expandable logistics tower 2 formed according to the first embodiment of the present invention preferably includes a plurality of storage units 4 . Each storage unit 4 comprises a plurality of storage modules 6 arranged around an elevator shaft 8 through which a robotic case handler 10 passes. The storage module 6 generally includes an outer frame 12 defining an interior cavity 14 or compartment in which a storage bin 16 is received. In a preferred form, each storage unit 4 comprises four storage modules 6 arranged around an elevator shaft 8 .

[0084] from attached Figure 6-8 As can be seen in , the storage units 4 can be stacked on top of each other in a vertical orientation to increase the storage capacity of the logistics tower 2 . More specifically, a plurality of memory cells 4 may be stacked on top of each other to form a vertical memory cell column 18 . The storage modules 6 and elevator shafts 8 of each storage ...

Abstract

The logistics tower comprises a vertical storage unit column, a vertical retrieval system and a horizontal shuttle system. The vertical storage cell column includes an elevator shaft extending therethrough and a plurality of storage modules disposed about the elevator shaft. The vertical retrieval system includes a capstan and a robotic handler. The robotic bin handling machine is movable by the winch within the elevator shaft of the vertical row of storage cells. The robotic bin handler includes a carriage assembly extending inwardly and outwardly therefrom to access and retrieve storage bins from storage modules disposed about an elevator shaft. The carriage assembly includes a gripping assembly that selectively couples and discouples the storage bin from a carriage of the robotic bin handler. A vertical retrieval system lowers the storage bin coupled to the carriage assembly to a robotic shuttle located on a horizontal shuttle system.
