A system for performing measurements in storage containers for storing items includes a framework structure. The storage containers are stored in an automated storage system. The framework structure forms a three-dimensional storage grid structure for storing the storage containers. The grid structure forms vertical storage columns each having a horizontal area defined by the size of an access opening to the vertical storage columns between rails of a rail system. The rail system is arranged on top of the framework structure. The rail system provides available routes for container handling vehicles handling and transferring the storage containers to and from the storage columns. Each vehicle includes a vehicle controller communicating with a central computer system controlling the operation of the storage system. A container handling platform of a container handling vehicle includes measuring equipment configured to perform measurements in containers and includes a communication unit configured to communicate measurement data to a computer system.
A system for performing measurements in storage containers for storing items, the system comprising at least one container handling vehicle for handling and transferring a storage container, the at least one container handling vehicle comprising:
A method for performing measurements in storage containers for storing items, the storage containers are storable in an automated storage system comprising at least one container handling vehicle, each of the at least one container handling vehicles comprises a vehicle controller for communicating with a central computer system controlling the operation of the storage system, and wherein said method comprises:
A system for performing measurements in storage containers for storing items, the system comprising:
