Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an industrial vehicle is provided comprising industrial vehicle hardware, tag reader, reader module, user interface, and vehicle controller. The tag reader and reader module cooperate to identify individual sequenced tags along an aisle path of a tag layout in accordance with a sequence list accessible to the reader module. The reader module compares a succession of sequenced tags with at least a portion of the accessible sequence list to determine if the succession of sequenced tags is in sequence along the aisle path in accordance with the sequence list and generates a missing tag signal for a malfunctioning sequenced tag when the comparison of the succession of sequenced tags with the sequence list indicates a sequence irregularity in the plurality of sequenced tags. The reader module then correlates vehicle functionality with the malfunctioning sequenced tag when a missing tag signal is generated.

Claim (Index 41):
An industrial vehicle comprising industrial vehicle hardware, a tag reader, a reader module, and a vehicle controller, wherein:\n the industrial vehicle hardware comprises storage and retrieval hardware and a vehicle drive mechanism; the storage and retrieval hardware is configured to store and retrieve items from selected storage elements positioned along an aisle path; the tag reader and the reader module cooperate to identify individual tags along the aisle path; the individual tags of the tag layout comprise a plurality of sequenced tags; the plurality of sequenced tags are sequenced along an aisle path in accordance with a sequence list that is accessible to the reader module; the tag reader and the reader module further cooperate to generate a travel direction signal from a succession of identified sequence tags; the reader module\n compares a succession of identified sequenced tags with at least a portion of the accessible sequence list, \n derives a travel direction of the industrial vehicle along respective aisle paths from the succession of identified sequenced tags, and \n generates a travel direction signal indicative of the industrial vehicle along respective aisle paths; and \n the vehicle controller controls operational functions of the industrial vehicle hardware partially as a function of the travel direction signal.
