- the storage and picking system comprises a second goods issuing mechanism arranged between the path and a dispatch zone.
- the first goods issuing mechanism or the second goods issuing mechanism comprise a chute.
- the storage and picking system comprises divider walls betwixt the temperature zones and sliding gates in the divider walls. The path runs through the gates.
- the storage and picking system comprises a track defining the path.
- the crane comprises a mast bound to the track and a carriage slidably guided along the mast.
- the carriage comprises a tray for receiving the goods, a raising mechanism recessed complementarily to the catch and sloping toward the tray and an extendible hook for engaging the catch.
- a mobile will-call store comprises a vehicle carrying a storage and picking system.
- the terminal is accessible from outside the vehicle.
- a computation and communications unit is electronically connected to the crane.
- a heating and air conditioning unit is provided for maintaining a storage temperature of the goods.
- a photovoltaic system is located at the top the vehicle.
- use of the storage and picking system is rendered as follows:
- the mast moves along the track to one of the shelving units.
- the carriage slides along the mast to one of the magazines.
- the hook extends and engages the catch of the respective magazine.
- the hook retracts by the depth of an item contained in the magazine such that the rail projects beyond and the item protrudes from the magazine.
- the raising mechanism raises the item above the restraint such that the item slides down the raising mechanism onto the tray.
- the hook presses the rail back into the magazine.
- the crane delivers the item to the first goods issuing mechanism.
- Use of the proposed storage and picking system permits vendors to drastically reduce their customers' waiting time between placement of a purchase order and pickup or delivery of the ordered items.
- a system as per the invention may be advantageously implemented as a fully automated interactive vending kiosk or mobile will-call store.
- the latter embodiment allows for round-the-clock pickup, thus lifting the store's restriction to traditional opening hours.
- a will-call store in the form of a parked and unmanned cargo van may offer an assortment of between 300 and 1,000 commodities grouped in up to four cooling zones. Located in a public parking lot or on private or factory premises, such a will-call store would be able to place goods at a caller's disposal within 30 seconds.
- its fleet operator may take orders by smartphone, whereupon the buyer is directed to the nearest van, which dispenses the ordered items automatically upon call.
- the storage and picking system permits vendors to narrow down the predicted time frame for individual deliveries.
- an exemplary store of this type could keep in stock between 2,000 and 10,000 items arranged in three cooling sections across between 250 and 1,500 square meters of floor space. Suitable sites may be found in urban areas, railroad stations, etc., allowing for a 30-minute delivery in addition to automated goods issue within some 60 seconds.
- Such stores may easily integrate additional facilities such as a coffee bar or even deli counter for perishable items.
- Figure 1 shows a mobile magazine 11 comprising a slide rail 12 slidably guided along the magazine, a pusher slide 13 mounted on the slide rail 12, and a restraint 14 affixed to a front end thereof, the pusher slide 13 and the restraint 14 being biased toward each other.
- the mobile magazine 11 comprises a catch 15 affixed to the restraint 14, an identification tag 16 for identifying packaged goods 17 contained in the magazine 11, and a notch 18 for retaining the magazine 11 within a shelving unit.
- identification tag is used in a broad meaning, encompassing various means such as a barcode, quick response (QR) code, or radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag.
- Figure 2 shows how an item 29 among the packaged goods 27 is extracted from the magazine 21.
- the slide rail 22 projects beyond and the item 29 protrudes correspondingly from the front end of the magazine 11, the pusher slide 23 moving forward by an equal distance.
- the item may thus be raised above the restraint 24 for extraction.
- the magazine's housing is secured in place by a bar (not depicted) engaged with the notch 28.
- Figure 3 shows a first storage and picking system 31 comprising a stacker crane 32 moving back and forth between eight shelving units 33 containing mobile magazines 34, the units being grouped in three coherent temperature zones 35 across the storage and picking system.
- a pickup terminal 36 is accessible from outside the storage and picking system, wherein a path 37 runs alongside the shelving units up to a goods issuing mechanism 38 arranged next to the terminal.
- Figure 4 shows a more expansive second storage and picking system 41.
- This system in addition to its stacker cranes 42, temperature zones 43, multi-branched path 44, ten shelving units 45 populated with mobile magazines, and goods issuing mechanism 46, features a second goods issuing mechanism 47. While the first mechanism is arranged next to the customer pickup terminal 48, the second mechanism borders on a dispatch zone 49 for deliverymen and sales clerks.
- the stacker cranes 42 may communicate via sliding contacts or wirelessly, especially if battery-powered. Suitable algorithms may be gathered from the emerging field of swarm robotics, allowing for individual cranes to be added to or removed from the scenario as needed.
- FIG. 5 shows a third storage and picking system 51 for use in a mobile will-call store.
- the stacker crane 52 comprises a carriage 53 slidably guided along a mast bound to a track 54 that defines the crane's path.
- the four shelving units 55 each containing seven layers of magazines 56, are equipped with rolling frames, allowing the units to be moved outside their store for replenishing.
- the system is partitioned by two divider walls 57 betwixt the temperature zones, wherein the track proceeds through a sliding gate 58 in each wall unto a chute 59 leading to the pickup terminal.
- FIG. 6 The exterior view of Figure 6 shows a mobile will-call store 61 in the form of a cargo van carrying the storage and picking system 62, its pickup terminal 63 accessible from outside the vehicle through a graphical user interface.
- a computation and communications unit 64 near the van's tailboard electronically connects the interface to the crane, while a heating and air conditioning unit 65 serves to maintain an adequate storage temperature inside the cargo bay.
- These and other systems are supplied with electricity by a photovoltaic system 66 atop the vehicle.
- Further roof structures may be conceived, such as a docking platform for unmanned aerial shuttles that deliver shopping baskets to customers as an alternative to personal pickup. Additional variants of the will-call may take the form of a trailer, freight container, or similar.
- Figures 7 through 10 give an account of the stacker crane's interaction with a mobile magazine 71.
- the crane's mast 72 supports a carriage 73 that, for receiving the goods, in turn comprises a tray 74 to which an adjacent raising mechanism 75 is sloped.
- the carriage 73 slides along the mast 72 to match its height.
- the carriage's hook 76 extends and engages the catch 15, 25 of the respective magazine 71, then retracts by the depth of an item 78 among the packaged goods 77, allowing the item 78 to be extracted as has been described above referencing Figure 2 .
- the raising mechanism 75 which is recessed complementarily to the catch 15, 25 of the magazine, raises the item 78 above the restraint 14, 24 such that it slides down the raising mechanism 75 onto the tray 74.
- the hook 76 presses the slide rail 12, 22 back into the magazine 71, whereupon the crane delivers the item 78 to the goods issuing mechanism.
- the magazine and its slide rail are aligned vertically such that the latter's front end is indeed located at the bottom of the apparatus, the goods being stacked upon the restraint affixed at its lowest point.
- the pusher slide is biased toward the restraint simply by gravity.
- a mobile mechanism beneath allows the restraint - for instance, by releasing a snap joint - to drop or glide downward by the item's depth or height, respectively, instead of actively pulling the item out via the catch as in the horizontal embodiment described above.
- a feeder functionally corresponding to the raising mechanism 75 of Fig. 7 , would push the item horizontally off the restraint before the restraint - and hence the packaged goods stacked thereupon - are pushed back into the magazine, allowing the snap joint to reengage.
- the magazines may thus be used quite similarly to their horizontal equivalents.
- the basic horizontal layout depicted in the figures however avoids any friction or compression issues associated with upright orientation of the device.
- the invention may be applied, inter alia, throughout the retail industry.
