ABSTRACT:
An automated handling system intended notably for storehouses in which miscellaneous articles are kept, for allowing either the restocking of the storehouse, or the regrouping of articles picked up in the storehouse for constituting lots or articles which correspond to a customer's order. The system comprises a central control and management computer and one or a plurality of self-powered trucks adapted to handle stock bins and order receiving bins in the storehouse, and to pick up articles from the bins to constitute lots of articles and gather the various customers' orders. Each self-powered truck comprises a motorized chassis adapted to travel along fixed lanes of the storehouse along storage racks, an inboard computer in data relationship with the central computer, an inboard store structure for receiving the articles concerning the orders thus gathered, a bin receiving platform, an extractor for drawing the bins out from the racks, an optical system for recentering the platform in front of the bins contained in the racks, and grippers adapted to pick up one of the articles contained in the stock bins.
