Abstract:
A warehouse storage and retrieval system including an array of multilevel storage racks having at least one transfer deck, picking isles and storage areas disposed along picking isles, the storage areas being configured to hold differing loads, and a controller including a management module configured to variably size the storage areas of the array of multilevel storage rack modules and assign each of the variably sized storage areas to a corresponding one of the differing loads, wherein the storage and retrieval system is arranged to transport the differing loads for placement in the variably sized storage areas assigned by the controller.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n providing a storage and retrieval system having an array of multilevel storage racks, each level of the multilevel storage racks having storage spaces configured to hold a respective load; providing at least one vertical lift at a fixed planform location within the array of multilevel storage racks; at least transporting, with the at least one vertical lift, loads from each level of the multilevel storage racks, each level having a vertical lift transfer location corresponding to each fixed planform location of the at least one vertical lift; and selecting, with a controller, a vertical lift transfer location for transport of loads from a respective level of the multilevel storage racks based on\n looking ahead a predetermined number of order lines in the load fill sequence, and \n determining if at least one other load in one of the predetermined number of order lines exists and is accessible on fewer than a number of levels on which at least one other load in one of the predetermined number of order lines exists and is accessible, \n wherein the at least one other load is transferred to a corresponding vertical lift, from a level that is different from a level on which the at least one load is located.
