Abstract: A system comprising a fully automated supply chain, in combination with tracking technology and the unified commerce engine (UCE). Such a system enables the exact location of every item (or each) to be tracked from the manufacturer's facility to a customer's bag. In accordance with one example, the supply chain comprises an order fulfillment system having a regional distribution center with RDC robotic automation configured to accept one or more incoming pallets, each pallet having a plurality of common cases of goods with each case of goods containing a plurality of common eaches; the RDC robotic automation further configured to remove and store the common cases of goods; the RDC robotic automation further configured to provide one or more outgoing pallets in response to a distribution center order, each outgoing pallet having a plurality of mixed cases of goods; a market distribution center having MDC robotic automation configured to accept one or more of the outgoing pallets, the MDC robotic automation further configured to remove mixed cases of goods from the one or more outgoing pallets; the MDC robotic automation further configured to remove and store eaches from each of the mixed cases of goods in an MDC storage system, the MDC robotic automation further configured to selectively retrieve eaches from the MDC storage system and fill order totes with mixed each subtotes in response to a market order. The MDC robotic automation further configured to fulfill the market order with a plurality of common or different order totes and subtotes that flexibly match the sales velocity of the market.

Abstract: An automated system structure is disclosed which may be quickly and efficiently assembled using a number of storage modules. Storage modules may be comprised of a pair of shelf modules, each comprising a number of defined storage locations for storing totes, cartons, trays or other containers. The shelf modules may themselves be modular units comprising a number of horizontal storage levels affixed to a pair of vertical support assemblies at each end of the shelf modules. The pair of shelf modules may be accurately spaced from each other by mounting the shelf modules to tie beams at the bottom and tie plates at the top.

Abstract: A system and method for managing a plurality of automated mobile robots within automated mobile robot storage and retrieval system is provided, which repurposes one or more automated mobile robots operating within the automated inventory management system to perform a plurality of tasks across multiple different areas of an automated store. The same mobile robot is enabled to move horizontally and vertically in a multi-level storage structure, operate in an order fulfillment mode retrieving order totes from an automated fulfillment section and delivering the order totes to the delivery section, operate in a replenishment mode receiving eaches of goods and depositing the eaches of goods in designated storage totes, and operate in a delivery mode receiving delivery bundles and transporting the delivery bundles to designated locations at the transfer station.

Abstract: A system and method for storage and retrieval are provided. The system includes a multi-level storage structure, and mobile robots configured to pick, transport and place one or more tote, container, or object. This system and method can be used in order-fulfillment applications in which one or more workstations accommodate a picker that transports one or more eaches from a tote on one of the autonomous mobile robots to a put location, and an input/output interface induct material into the system and discharge fulfilled orders from the system. The mobile robots are further configured to move from level to level in the multi-level storage structure via inclined or vertical tracks without requiring a vertical lift or vertical conveyor.
