Description

可用于邮件、包裹和单件物品的自动化存取货仓库保管系统 技术领域
本发明涉及物流及新零售技术领域,具体是可用于邮件、包裹和单件物品的自动化存取货仓库保管系统。
背景技术
现有的邮局和商业邮箱设施的容量受到其所面向客户的墙壁上设置的柜子单元数量的限制,而通常在墙后面的房间内有许多额外的空间,在墙后面的空间内设有存储区域。然而,在目前的系统中,由于内部存储区域不与客户侧的前端开口直接连接,因此不能直接被外部用户访问。
目前,邮局和商业邮箱也具有成为电子商务交付接收地点的优势,然而,电子商务订单的物品的不规则尺寸一直是邮局和商业邮箱的挑战,因为每个用户的邮箱的大小是固定的,当租用小邮箱的客户收到较大的订单时受限,邮局还安装了一些大型装置的独立智能柜来存取庞大的包裹,然而这些智能柜在操作和间距限制方面更是存在着一定的问题。
在许多传统的商店中,如沃尔玛和塔吉特,已经开始“点击并拣取”,以支持在线订单的店内提货。客户在本地商店接收在线订单的设置对客户接触空间没有限制,与订单存储分开。然而,它仍然受到订单拣取的手动操作的低效率的限制。
诸如手机应用程序和安全编码输入的新技术使得打开智能柜获取物品变得更容易。机器人还可以帮助建立自动化操作,将前面的智能柜连接到后部的货架,以便接收和交付。
如这里所述,用于较小邮件和包裹的新型自动化存取货仓库保管系统 (ASRS)旨在将存储与接触空间分开,并将有限的客户接触空间自动连接到无限存储。
发明内容
