4) Patent IT2008TO00226 20080326 - Patent number: 0000277012  "automated pickup and moving goods in warehouses and associated method" (Patent Application N. 141 - Combichest-log)

Presentation: In logistics or storage of goods, the space is critical and the cost of stock you should see because of its ability. Save space, reducing the space of the corridors and verticalizing the warehouse capacity is the principle of this system. Today the bay warehouses have traditional corridors that allow a forklift to be steered to perform inside the insertion of the goods. This generally exceeds 2.6 Mt, in our case would be sufficient 1.6 Mt. This system presupposes the use of special shelves whose front profiles are designed as guides to ensure that the system can climb. It always presupposes a guide suitably slotted metal section in the specific profile. The system also requires a shuttle AVG (Automated Guided) in which has the sole task of transporting the goods, the same supports on whether the item that has satellite devices to hook the side profiles of the shelves once it reaches the position. Once the system has aligned the system engaging profiles salt to the desired floor of the shelf to do this grip or release of goods, preferably pallets. The operation is carried out with the traditional system with retractable blades. This system allows the rationalization of space and the ability to leverage the vertical space beyond the heights allowed by conventional trolleys. Besides the fact that this operates without producing operator and connected to a management system of the warehouse which cancels all the possible errors in the allocation of goods. The system with the cart equipped with appropriate safety devices are working on hybrid systems where it is permissible for people and things.
