Abstract:
A system and method for controlling movement of transporting devices arranged to transport containers stored in stacks arranged in a facility having pathways arranged in a grid-like structure above the stacks, the transporting devices being configured to operate on the grid-like structure. A movement optimisation unit is configured to determine a route of a transporting device from one location on a grid-like structure to another location on the grid-like structure for each transporting device. A reservation unit is configured to reserve a path on the grid-like structure for each transporting device based on the determined route. A clearance unit is configured to provide clearance for each transporting device to traverse a portion of the reserved path.

Claim (Index 12):
A storage system comprising:\n a first set of parallel rails or tracks extending in a first direction, and a second set of parallel rails or tracks extending in a second direction transverse to the first set in a substantially horizontal plane to form a grid pattern having grid spaces; stacks of containers located beneath the rails that are arranged such that each stack is located within a footprint of a single grid space; load handling devices, each load handling device being arranged to selectively move laterally in the first and second directions, above the stacks on the rails; and the system according to  claim 1 .
