US 2020/0090121 A1 · METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING DELIVERY OF PARCELS TO USERS

Abstract

A system for facilitating delivery of a first parcel to a first user is provided. The system includes automated guided vehicles (AGVs) stationed at a buffer storage. The buffer storage stores the first parcel for delivering the first parcel to the first user at a first destination location. The system further includes an order management server that is communicatively coupled to the one or more AGVs. The order management server receives location information from a user-device of the first user. Based on the received location information, the order management server tracks a location of the first user. The order management server further communicates a first instruction to a first AGV to load the first parcel and deliver the first parcel to the first user at a destination location when the location of the first user matches the first destination location.

Dependent claims

A system for facilitating delivery of a first parcel to a first user, the system comprising:

one or more automated guided vehicles (AGVs) stationed at a buffer storage in a multistory building, wherein the buffer storage stores the first parcel for delivering to the first user at a first destination location that is within a service area associated with the buffer storage;
and
an order management server communicatively coupled to the one or more AGVs, the order management server configured to:
receive location information from a user-device of the first user,
track a location of the first user based on the location information,
communicate a first instruction to a first AGV of the one or more AGVs to load the first parcel thereon and transit from the buffer storage to the first destination location for delivering the loaded first parcel to the first user, based on a match between the tracked location and the first destination location.

3 more elements

A method for facilitating delivery of a first parcel to a first user, the method comprising:

determining, by an order management server, whether the first parcel is received at a buffer storage in a multistory building based on an order placed by the first user for the first parcel, wherein the buffer storage stores the first parcel for delivering to the first user at a first destination location, and wherein the buffer storage caters to the first destination location;
receiving, by the order management server, location information from a user-device of the first user based on the determination that the first parcel is received at the buffer storage;
tracking, by the order management server, a location of the first user based on the received location information;
and
communicating, by the order management server, a first instruction to an automated guided vehicle (AGV) stationed at the buffer storage to load the first parcel thereon and transit from the buffer storage to the first destination location for delivering the loaded first parcel to the first user, wherein the first instruction is communicated based on a match between the tracked location and the first destination location.
