    摘要: In an aspect, the present disclosure describes a system for constructing a solar module array. The system can comprise one or more mobile platforms; one or more carriers operatively coupled to the one or more mobile platforms, wherein the one or more carriers support a plurality of posts and/or a plurality of solar modules; one or more robotic components for retrieving one or more posts from the plurality of posts and one or more solar modules from the plurality of solar modules from the one or more carriers; and at least one controller in operative communication with the one or more mobile platforms and the one or more robotic components, wherein the at least one controller (i) directs the one or more mobile platforms to transport the one or more carriers over a terrain and (ii) controls the one or more robotic components to (1) autonomously position and install the one or more posts on the terrain, and (2) autonomously position and assemble the one or more solar module to the one or more posts installed on the terrain to thereby construct the solar module array on the terrain.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for safely and efficiently transferring granular material from a container. An example system can include a container for transporting granular material that includes a valve positioned to discharge the granular material from the container. The system can also include a frame shaped to receive and support the container. The system can further include an actuator mounted to the frame and oriented such that actuation of the actuator causes the valve of the container to be opened. Finally, the system can include a conveyor positioned to receive granular material from the container when the valve of the container is opened.

    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling a hoist apparatus on a vehicle to automatically load and unload a container. The vehicle includes a chassis, a hoist apparatus coupled with the chassis, and at least one lift mechanism operative to move the hoist apparatus with respect to the chassis in response to the flow of hydraulic fluid along a fluid flow path. The vehicle also includes at least one valve in fluid communication with the at least one lift mechanism, a control system in electronic communication with the at least one valve, and a transceiver in electronic communication with the control system. The control system is operative to receive, via the transceiver, an initiation signal from a remote control unit. Further, the control system is operative to selectively actuate the at least one valve in response to the initiation signal to move the hoist apparatus.

    摘要: The retractable shelf system allows for the compartmentalization of storage container. The system is integrated into the interior space of the storage container and includes a plurality of shelving units distributed along the length of the storage container.Each shelving unit includes a first retractable shelf and a second retractable shelf. The first retractable shelf and the second retractable shelf each include a storage panel, a support beam, a hinge mechanism, and an at least one support leg. The support beam from each retractable shelf is mounted parallel and offset to each other within the storage container. The storage panel is mounted adjacent to the support beam by the hinge mechanism. The support leg is hingedly connected to a bottom surface of the support storage panel, opposite the support beam. The first retractable shelf and the second retractable shelf can be positioned into a retracted configuration and a functional configuration.
