Abstract
According to one embodiment, a handling system includes a first mobile robot, a first transfer robot, and a picking robot. The first mobile robot transports a first container out of a loading location of the first container. An article is stored in the first container. The first transfer robot transfers the first container from one of the first mobile robot or a first loading platform to the other of the first mobile robot or the first loading platform. The picking robot moves the article from the first container placed on the first loading platform to a second container placed on a second loading platform.
Claims16
A handling system, comprising:
- a first mobile robot transporting a first container out of a loading location of the first container, an article being stored in the first container;
- a first transfer robot transferring the first container from one of the first mobile robot or a first loading platform to the other of the first mobile robot or the first loading platform;
- and
- a picking robot moving the article from the first container placed on the first loading platform to a second container placed on a second loading platform.
An instruction device transmitting an instruction to a handling system,
- the handling system including a first mobile robot, a first transfer robot, and a picking robot,
- the instruction device causing the first mobile robot to transport a first container out of a loading location of the first container, an article being stored in the first container,
- the instruction device causing the first transfer robot to transfer the first container from one of the first mobile robot or a first loading platform to the other of the first mobile robot or the first loading platform, and
- the instruction device causing the picking robot to move the article from the first container placed on the first loading platform to a second container placed on a second loading platform.
