Abstract
A lumber retrieval method renders a lumber handling system readily adaptable to compensate for irregular floors, an irregular overhead track, and variable station locations. In some examples, the method involves determining a plurality of floor-to-track error values that vary based on the floor and the track deviating from being parallel to each other, recording the plurality of floor-to-track error values on a controller, and calculating a plurality of error-compensated reading via the controller based on the plurality of lumber scanned reading and the plurality of floor-to-track error values.
