Zusammenfassung:Flexible, robotic automated storage and retrieval systems and processes may include one or more blocks of shelving systems, each block including a plurality of floors, and each floor including a plurality of storage grid locations for respective totes. A plurality of robotic drive units may traverse the storage grid locations using a plurality of highway grids and elevators to move totes between processing stations and storage grid locations. The freely movable robotic drive units and totes enable high flexibility, modularity, scalability, and serviceability of the flexible, robotic automated storage and retrieval systems.
