Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:An order fulfillment system including an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) structure, robotic vehicles, storage bins, and different service areas in a continuous arrangement positioned adjacent to an outer perimeter of the ASRS structure at one or more service levels of the ASRS structure, is provided. The robotic vehicles are navigable within the ASRS structure at the service level(s) positioned above and/or below storage levels of the ASRS structure. The robotic vehicles carry the storage bins within the ASRS structure during transfer of the storage bins to and from storage locations of the ASRS structure. Each service area includes one or more workstations of a type configured for one or more tasks different from one or more workstations at another service area. Each service area receives a drop-off of the storage bins at and/or a travel of the storage bins through each service area by the robotic vehicles.
