The assignee for this patent, patent number 11858738, is Ocado Innovation Limited (Hatfield, UnitedKingdom).Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION“Some commercial and industrial activities require systems that enable the storage and retrieval of alarge number of different products. One known system for the storage and retrieval of items in multipleproduct lines involves arranging storage bins or containers on rows of shelves arranged in aisles. Each binor container holds a plurality of products of one product type. The aisles provide access between the rowsof shelves, so that the required products can be retrieved by operatives or robots that circulate in the aisles.It will be appreciated, however, that the need to provide aisle space to access the products means that thestorage density of such systems is relatively low. In other words, the amount of space actually used for thestorage of products is relatively small compared to the amount of space required for the storage system asa whole.
