By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-From Alexandria, Virginia, NewsRx jour nalists report that a patent by the inventors Fryer, Mark (Hatfield, GB), Ingram -Tedd, Andy (Hatfield, GB), Lindbo, Sverker (Hatfield, GB), Shaikh, Siddique (Hatfield, GB), filed on October 19, 2020, was published online on August 20, 2024. The patent's assignee for patent number 12065309 is Ocado Innovation Limited (He rts, United Kingdom). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: "Some commercial and industrial activities require systems that enable the storage and retrieval of a large number of different products. O ne known type of system for the storage and retrieval of items in multiple produ ct lines involves arranging storage bins or containers in stacks on top of one a nother, the stacks being arranged in rows. The storage bins or containers are ac cessed from above, removing the need for aisles between the rows and allowing mo re containers to be stored in a given space. "Methods of handling containers stacked in rows have been well known for decades . In some such systems, for example as described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,701,065, to Bertel comprise freestanding stacks of containers arranged in rows in order to r educe the storage volume associated with storing such containers but yet still p roviding access to a specific container if required. Access to a given container is made possible by providing relatively complicated hoisting mechanisms which can be used to stack and remove given containers from stacks. The cost of such s ystems are, however, impractical in many situations and they have mainly been co mmercialised for the storage and handling of large shipping containers.
