Support system for magnetically supporting an object on a support

An arrangement system comprising:

• a support system including:
• a support;
• a root magnet fixedly attached to the support;
• an object;
• a cover magnet fixedly attached to the object;
• wherein the root magnet and the cover magnet are configured to be magnetically attracted to one another such that the object is magnetically attached to the support when the root magnet and the cover magnet are aligned with one another in an attachment arrangement;
• and
• wherein the root magnet and the cover magnet are configured to magnetically repel one another such that the object is detached from the support when the root magnet and the cover magnet are unaligned with one another in a detachment arrangement;
• at least one storage rack configured for supporting the support system;
• and
• a controller operatively connected to the support system;
• wherein the controller is configured to selectively activate at least one of the root magnet and the cover magnet such that the root magnet and the cover magnet are magnetically alignable with one another in the attachment arrangement;
• and
• wherein the controller is configured to selectively deactivate the at least one of the root magnet and the cover magnet such that the root magnet and the cover magnet are magnetically unalignable in the attachment arrangement.

A method of kitting a plurality of objects in an arrangement system, the method comprising:

• providing a storage rack, wherein the storage rack operatively supports a support system;
• wherein the support system includes an object magnetically attached to a first root magnet in an attachment arrangement;
• determining a bill of materials for a batch, wherein the bill of materials includes the object;
• identifying the object magnetically attached to the first root magnet as a function of the determined bill of materials;
• unaligning the object from the first root magnet such that the object and the first root magnet are in a detachment arrangement;
• removing the object from the first root magnet when the object and the first root magnet are in the detachment arrangement;
• identifying a second root magnet that is magnetically alignable with the object in the attachment arrangement;
• and
• magnetically aligning the object with the second root magnet such that the object and the second root magnet are in the attachment arrangement.
