Claims20
A computer-implemented method for transporting a rectangular prism through a modular superstructure comprising a plurality of racks, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- generating a data graph matrix representation that is associated with the modular superstructure and comprises a plurality of nodes connected by a plurality of edges, the plurality of nodes corresponding to the plurality of racks;
- receiving a query comprising one or more query attributes and representing a request to transport the rectangular prism from a starting position to an ending position;
- computing a retrieval priority associated with the query based on the one or more query attributes, wherein the retrieval priority identifies a priority of the query relative to a plurality of queued queries;
- and
- generating at least one movement instruction for initiating a rack operation for transporting the rectangular prism based on the retrieval priority.
An apparatus for transporting a rectangular prism through a modular superstructure comprising a plurality of racks, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory comprising program code, the at least one non-transitory memory and the program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- generate a data graph matrix representation that is associated with the modular superstructure and comprises a plurality of nodes connected by a plurality of edges, the plurality of nodes corresponding to the plurality of racks;
- receive a query comprising one or more query attributes and representing a request to transport the rectangular prism from a starting position to an ending position;
- compute a retrieval priority associated with the query based on the one or more query attributes, wherein the retrieval priority identifies a priority of the query relative to a plurality of queued queries;
- and
- generate at least one movement instruction for initiating a rack operation for transporting the rectangular prism based on the retrieval priority.
A computer program product for transporting a rectangular prism through a modular superstructure comprising a plurality of racks, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising an executable portion configured to:
- generate a data graph matrix representation that is associated with the modular superstructure and comprises a plurality of nodes connected by a plurality of edges, the plurality of nodes corresponding to the plurality of racks;
- receive a query comprising one or more query attributes and representing a request to transport the rectangular prism from a starting position to an ending position;
- compute a retrieval priority associated with the query based on the one or more query attributes, wherein the retrieval priority identifies a priority of the query relative to a plurality of queued queries;
- and
- generate at least one movement instruction for initiating a rack operation for transporting the rectangular prism based on the retrieval priority.
