Abstract:
The storage and retrieval system includes an enclosure housing multiple carousel assemblies mounted on the top of each other, a control system, a first set of drive mechanisms, a second set of drive mechanisms, and an authentication device. The control system receives input and user identification information from the user from the authentication device and stores it in a memory. During storage access, the control system identifies an available storage compartment that is nearest to the door of the enclosure and allocates it for the user. During retrieval access, the control system identifies the allocated compartment to the user. The control system then monitors the drive system to rotate the corresponding carousel assembly so that the allocated storage compartment is positioned in front of the door of the enclosure. The control system then unlocks the door and the user can access the storage compartment.

Claim (Index 1):
A storage device for storing goods for subsequent retrieval, the storage device comprising:\n a carousel assembly having a plurality of storage compartments that are arranged around a central axis; an enclosure for housing the carousel assembly, wherein the enclosure has a door that allows access to one of the plurality of storage compartments at an instant of time; a first drive mechanism for rotating the carousel assembly; a second drive mechanism for opening and closing the door; an authentication device attached to the enclosure for authenticating a user prior to storing and retrieving the goods; and a control system connected to the first drive mechanism, the second drive mechanism, and the authentication device for controlling the movements of the door and the carousel assembly, wherein when the user is authenticated for storing goods in the storage device, the control system determines a displacement of each of the plurality of storage compartments from a storage compartment that is at a home position and dynamically allocates at least one storage compartment of the plurality of storage compartments to the user.
