DESC:BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[0001] Embodiments herein generally relate to a mechanical device, more particularly to a mechanical device and method for directing objects in automated storage and retrieval systems.
Description of the Related Art
[0002] To transport objects both vertically and horizontally inside the system, commercial automatic storage and retrieval systems rely more on linear conveyors, automated storage racks, and vertical lifts. In order to effectively modify the direction of material flow, this method needs a larger floor area. In-line transfers or automated devices are utilized to reposition objects as they move along the conveyor system when they need to change direction. These machines combine, divert, or redirect things onto different conveyor lines as necessary. This, however, adds complexity and necessitates exact synchronization and control. To enable item rotation or reorientation, commercial automated storage and retrieval systems require specific handling tools, such as transfer cars or shuttle systems.
[0003] These increase the system's complexity and expense. Commercial automatic storage and retrieval systems have a limited ability to sort objects since it is more difficult to rotate items effectively to different locations or orientations. The system's capacity to properly manage a variety of item kinds and sizes is hampered by this constraint. Furthermore, in order to fit the additional linear conveyors and transfer equipment needed to fulfil the same material handling objectives, the commercial automatic storage and retrieval systems require a bigger warehouse footprint.
[0004] It is difficult to integrate a weighing device into the autonomous storage and retrieval system. The system must make sure that the weighing procedure integrates seamlessly with the entire material handling and control system. Custom programming and interface creation are necessary for this. Accurate weighing is essential, especially when a broad variety of item weights are handled by the autonomous storage and retrieval system. The weighing equipment is calibrated and maintained often to ensure accuracy. System performance is impacted by weighing each object as it is stored or retrieved. Weighing takes time, and if not done accurately, it may slow down the entire process. It might be difficult to balance system speed with precision. Furthermore, the form of an autonomous storage and retrieval system frequently calls for a designated location for weighing devices. This has an impact on the system's design, which includes how the system's conveyors, storage sites, and material movement are organized.
[0005] To provide precise measurements, the weighing equipment has to be calibrated and maintained regularly. The autonomous storage and retrieval system's continuing operating and maintenance expenses increase as a result. The weighing device's function and design are appropriate for the kinds of objects handled by industrial automatic storage and retrieval systems. Furthermore, a variety of object sizes and forms are accommodated by the weighing devices. Safety considerations must be considered while incorporating a weighing device. In order to ensure safe operations, safety standards are devised and personnel are shielded from moving parts. The weighing devices produce a large quantity of data. It is difficult to manage and analyse this data since it needs the right tools and software to be processed and used.
[0006] Accordingly, there remains a need for a device and a method for directing and weighing objects in automated storage and retrieval systems automatically.
