Abstract (en)

[origin: US2007031218A1] A system and method for automated storage and retrieval that employs a two-dimensional, vertically oriented storage with storage areas arranged in a grid along a horizontal axis, a lift for access to one or more floors of the storage, and a vehicle transfer area for transfer of vehicles between an exterior transit way and the lift. Unique identification data is assigned to each vehicle upon access to the vehicle transfer area. Next, horological data is acquired corresponding to the identification data. Frequency data is calculated based on the identification data and the horological data, corresponding to the frequency of vehicle ingress and egress. The frequency data is stored in association with the identification data for later use. The vehicle is then transported to a storage area based on the frequency data, with vehicles having a higher frequency of ingress and egress stored in close proximity to the vehicle transfer area.
