摘要： An automated warehouse includes: a storage shelf; a mobile body including a base; a first arm supported by the base; a second arm supported by the base; and a movable portion capable of causing an article to move between the mobile body and a first transport mechanism and between the mobile body and a second transport mechanism. In a state where the mobile body is located at a first transfer position, the support position of the second arm is fixed and the support position of the first arm is changed depending on a length of the article in a first direction. Alternatively, in a state where the mobile body is located at a second transfer position, the support position of the first arm is fixed and the support position of the second arm is changed depending on the length of the article in the first direction.

摘要： A pharmacy system and methodology for individually packaged medications and/or supplements assembled into an order for each patient which can be delivered to a long-term care facility or other institution for patient consumption. The process may include receiving a patient's prescription order, automatically dispensing packaged unit doses, and assembling into individually packaged bags for each patient. Various safeguards and measures built into this system and method increase patient safety, eliminate waste, and increase labor efficiency by reducing and/or minimizing the disposal of unused medications and supplements.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for selecting and combining items in an outbound container through the use of autonomous vehicles, each of which includes means for automatically loading and unloading a payload, to perform both transfer and transport functions in moving containers of items within a workspace via a network of roadways. Under computer control, said autonomous vehicles transfer and transport case containers of item units between incoming receiving stations, intermediate storage locations, and outgoing order-assembly stations where entire containers or individual item units are combined in the outbound container.
