Abstract:
This document generally describes warehousing systems that can, in certain instances, improve the efficiency of warehousing operations and improve utilization of available space in a warehousing facility. The warehousing system may be implemented in an automated warehouse, such as an automated cold-storage facility, that uses programmable equipment to automate tasks associated with warehousing operations, such as transporting inbound storage items to specified storage positions of storage racks in the warehouse and removing outbound storage items from storage so that they may be loaded onto trucks for delivery away from the warehouse.

Claim (Index 1):
An automated warehousing system for transporting storage items between a docking area of a warehouse and a storage area of the warehouse, the warehousing system comprising:\n one or more inbound-outbound conveyor modules configured to be located in the docking area of the warehouse, each inbound-outbound conveyor module including:\n (i) a set of inbound conveyor lanes configured to carry inbound storage items to the docking area of the warehouse, and \n (ii) a set of outbound conveyor lanes configured to carry outbound storage items that have delivered from the docking area of the warehouse to pick-up positions in the docking area of the warehouse, \n wherein, for each inbound-outbound conveyor module, a total number of outbound conveyor lanes in the set of outbound conveyor lanes is greater than a total number of inbound conveyor lanes in the set of inbound conveyor lanes; \n a routing conveyor module that includes conveyors configured to transport inbound storage items from inbound conveyor lanes to an automated rack shuttling subsystem located in the storage area of the warehouse and to direct outbound storage items from the storage area of the warehouse to outbound conveyor lanes in the docking area of the warehouse; and the automated rack shuttling subsystem configured to transport inbound storage items and outbound storage items between the routing conveyor module and specified storage positions of storage racks located in the storage area of the warehouse.
