Abstract
A high-density storage system for goods is described in which totes carrying the goods are stored in a storage structure and stored and retrieved via stationary or mobile conveyors running along opposite ends of each layer of the storage structure. The totes may be moved to or from the conveyors as the rows move at a constant velocity toward or away from the conveyors. Totes at the ends of rows are quickly moved and stored in another row until the desired tote appears at the end of the row, at which point the desired tote is carried to an exit point of the storage structure by one of the conveyors.
