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: The present technology relates to an automated system structure 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: An apparatus is disclosed including a robotic system having a robotic picking workstation, tote storage and retrieval and transit decks. The system has bots that autonomously transport totes from the storage and retrieval system to the robotic picking workstation via the transit decks. The robotic picking workstation may have a picking lane where a robotic handler transports eaches from totes on the bots to order totes in the workstation. The robotic picking workstation further has a queuing buffer where bots are cued for the picking lane.
