Systems, methods, computing platforms, and storage media for directing and controlling a supply chain control territory in an autonomous inventory management system

A system configured for directing and controlling an autonomous inventory storage unit in an autonomous inventory management system, the system comprising:

• an inventory storage device,
• a drive device, wherein the drive device is operationally configured to physically move the inventory storage device in one or more control territories,
• a navigation device, wherein the navigation device is operationally configured to transmit and receive geographic data and determine a physical location of the inventory storage device,
• a sensing device, wherein the sensing device is operationally configured to detect physical objects and transmit and receive physical object data, and
• a control device, wherein the control device is operationally configured to control the autonomous inventory storage unit and transmit and receive data from physically separate systems;
• a transport controller, wherein the transport controller is operationally configured to transmit to and receive data from the inventory storage device and wherein the transport controller is operationally configured to physically receive the inventory storage device, and physically transport the inventory storage device between the one or more control territories;
• a controller, wherein the controller is assigned to a first control territory, and wherein the first controller is in communication with the control device of the inventory storage device, and
• one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to,
• negotiate, by the controller, a dispatch routine for the inventory storage device with the transport controller, wherein the inventory storage device is configured to transport an inventory item;
• assign an authentication token to the inventory storage device, the authentication token providing an identification signal between the inventory storage device and the controller;
• register, by the inventory storage device, a departure event with the controller;
• provide a secure connection between the inventory storage device and the controller;
• exchange the authentication token between the inventory storage device and the controller;
• authenticate the secure connection between the inventory storage device and the controller based at least in part on exchanging the authentication token;
• give, by the controller, the inventory storage device a set of permissions to access a second control territory at a delivery location.
