从发明人提供的背景资料中,新闻记者得出了以下结论:报价:“电子商务(电子商务)改变了顾客购买商品的方式。作为电子商务继续以超过传统砖和灰泥零售业务的显著速度增长,许多企业都面临着在在线市场中保持相关性的显著挑战在太空中与杰出选手竞争。现代仓储设施处理大量存货每天的项目。这种库存物品的例子可以包括食品杂货、服装、电子产品或就像这种存储功能通常接收大量需要处理的项目用于库存、补货、履行或处理每个库存等各种目的。存储设施中的项目可能涉及几个定义的过程,这些过程可能相同,也可能不同项目类型。执行这样定义的过程需要使用不同的机器人设备,其中每个机器人设备必须与控制服务器通信以执行过程。仓库设备安装在各种供应商的机器人设备上,以最大限度地提高存储设备的可扩展性。控制服务器支持特定的协议方案和可能不同于机器人设备支持的协议方案和消息方案。此外,机器人存储设施中的设备可以支持不同的协议和消息SC HEME其他。因此,促进控制服务器和机器人设备之间的通信是一个挑战任务
Abstract
From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the followingquote: “Electronic commerce (e-commerce) has changed the w ay customers purchase items. As ecommercecontinues to grow at a significant pa ce overtaking conventional brick and mortar retail practices,many businesses ar e facing notable challenges of maintaining relevance in an online marketplace an dcompeting with prominent players in the space. Modern storage facilities handl e a large number of inventoryitems on a daily basis. Examples of such inventory items may include groceries, apparels, electronics, orthe like. Such storage f acilities typically receive a very high volume of items that needs to be processed for various purposes such as stocking, replenishment, fulfillment, or the lik e. Handling each inventoryitem in the storage facility may involve a few define d processes that may be same or different for differenttypes of items. Executio n of such defined processes requires different robotic devices to be used, whereeach robotic device must communicate with a control server for performing the p rocesses. The storagefacility onboards robotic devices from various vendors to maximize the scalability of the storage facility.The control server supports a specific protocol scheme and a message scheme that may be different fromthe pro tocol schemes and the message schemes supported by the robotic devices. Further, the roboticdevices in the storage facility may support protocol and message sc hemes that are different from eachother. Thus, facilitating communication betwe en the control server and the robotic devices is a challengingtask.
