[0054] Sb400. Repeat step Sb300 until there are no more empty slots in the storage box. If all the node devices that have finished charging in the current node device charging cabinet 5 have been removed, but there are still empty slots in the storage box, the central scheduling software will issue a position command to move slider 8 to the next position to continue the automatic pickup operation.

[0055] Sb500. When all the slots in the storage box are occupied, slider 8 returns to the starting point.

[0056] After replacing the storage box, the Sb600 system automatically enters the next round of automatic pickup operation.
