US 2026/0225225 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF MULTI-CATEGORY MOVER DEVICE COORDINATION

Abstract

Systems and methods to control multiple categories of movers in a track-based environment. The system includes or more processors coupled with memory. The processors obtain first data that can indicate a first characteristic of a first mover of a first category of movers. The processors obtain second data that can indicate a second characteristic of a second mover of a second category of movers. The processors determine a task that includes a first action and a second action. The processors determine that the first mover can perform the first action and that the second mover can perform the second action. The processors generate a data structure to cause the first and second movers to perform the first and second actions. The processors provide a first portion of data structure to the first mover and a second portion of the data structure to the second mover, to perform the task.

Dependent claims

A system to control multiple categories of movers in a track-based environment, comprising:

one or more processors coupled with memory to:
obtain, from a database, first data indicating a first characteristic of a first mover of a first category of movers;
obtain second data indicating a second characteristic of a second mover of a second category of movers;
determine a task, the task including a first action associated with the first mover and a second action associated with the second mover;
determine, based on the first characteristic, that the first mover is configured to perform the first action;
determine, based on the second characteristic, that the second mover is configured to perform the second action;
generate at least one data structure to cause the first mover to perform the first action and to cause the second mover to perform the second action;
and
provide a first portion of the at least one data structure to the first mover to execute the first action and provide a second portion of the at least one data structure to the second mover to execute the second action, to cause the first mover and the second mover to perform the task.

A method of controlling multiple categories of movers in a track-based environment, comprising:

obtaining, by one or more processors coupled with memory, from a database, first data indicating a first characteristic of a first mover of a first category of movers;
obtaining, by the one or more processors, second data indicating a second characteristic of a second mover of a second category of movers;
determining, by the one or more processors, a task, the task including a first action associated with the first mover and a second action associated with the second mover;
determining, by the one or more processors, based on the first characteristic, that the first mover is configured to perform the first action;
determining, by the one or more processors, based on the second characteristic, that the second mover is configured to perform the second action;
generating, by the one or more processors, at least one data structure to cause the first mover to perform the first action and to cause the second mover to perform the second action;
and
providing, by the one or more processors, a first portion of the at least one data structure to the first mover to execute the first action and provide a second portion of the at least one data structure to the second mover to execute the second action, to cause the first mover and the second mover to perform the task.
