- OT-2026-000000039
This disclosure describes a method and system for recovering a jammed bin lift mechanism of a robot within an automated cube storage grid without requiring a full system shutdown. The arrangement establishes a dynamic isolation zone around the affected robot, rerouting adjacent operational robots to maintain throughput
- OT-2026-000000038
This disclosure describes a system for optimizing inventory slotting within a storage facility by utilizing co-pick frequency as an affinity measure. The system addresses the practical challenge of implementing highly disruptive slotting plans by incorporating a bounded reslotting rate. It continuously evaluates potent
- OT-2026-000000037
This disclosure describes a shuttle system for automated storage and retrieval that incorporates a buffer position for aisle handover. The system addresses throughput loss caused by a shuttle waiting for lift availability, which can block an entire aisle. A dedicated buffer allows shuttles to deposit or retrieve storag
- OT-2026-000000007
An automated goods-to-person picking station is described, featuring dual presentation bays and a shadowed pick face to enhance picking efficiency. This arrangement addresses the problem of operator idle time incurred while waiting for a subsequent item tote to be presented. By utilizing a bay alternation logic and pre
