METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY PROCESSING MATERIAL
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS55155872
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Input loads (70, 72, 74 etc.) e.g. palletized motor cars are queued prior to displacement onto a continuous conveyor (54) serviced by a plurality of storage and retrieval machines (40) associated one with each of the aisles of a high rise storage array (20), there being a pick-up (80) and a deposit (32) station for pallets associated with each aisle. The queued loads are metered onto the conveyor (54) on a far to near aisle correspondence basis and are simultaneously exchanged for output loads at each of the aisle locations. The method includes compensation for circumstances where outputs exceed inputs and where inputs exceed outputs by empty pallet management and allows for maximum through-put in all cases.
