An autonomous transport robot for transporting a payload, autonomous transport robot including, frame with integral payload support that has a payload seat surface defining a payload datum position that determines predetermined payload position relative to autonomous transport robot, transfer arm connected to the frame and configured for autonomous transfer of payload to and from the frame, one caster wheel mounted to frame, drive section with a pair of traction drive wheels astride the drive section, drive section being connected to the frame, wherein the one caster wheel and one traction drive wheel of the pair of traction drive wheels roll, on a rolling surface effecting autonomous transport robot traversal over the rolling surface, each having a fully independent suspension, and are disposed on the frame astride the integral payload support so that the payload seat surface at the payload datum position is disposed at minimum distance above the rolling surface.

Autonomous transport vehicle with synergistic vehicle dynamic response

A warehousing system includes a multilevel container storage array each level of which has a transport area and a storage area, a container transport vehicle located on each level to transport containers to and from container storage locations on each storage shelf on each level of the multilevel storage array to a breakpack operation station, a putwall of more than one levels of breakpack goods container stations distributed along each level with a corresponding breakpack goods transfer deck at each level of the putwall, a breakpack goods transport vehicle that transports breakpack goods along the corresponding breakpack goods transfer deck, and between corresponding breakpack goods transfer decks at different levels of the putwall, to each breakpack goods container station, and a controller effecting operation of the container transport vehicle between the container storage locations, the breakpack operation station, and a breakpack goods container located at a breakpack goods container station.

Warehousing system for storing and retrieving goods in containers

A product order fulfillment system of mixed product units, the system includes a storage array, an automated transport system, with at least one asynchronous transport system, for level transport, and a lift for between level transport, communicably connected to the storage array so as to automatically retrieve and output, from an output of the storage array, product units distributed in cases in a common part of the storage array. The at least one asynchronous transport system, and the lift are configured so as to form more than one transport echelon, each echelon being communicably connected with the common part and the output, and each effecting orthogonal sortation, corresponding to the transport echelon, of the product units distributed in the common part, so that sorted mixed output product units of the corresponding transport echelon are in predetermined sequence.
