Summary of Innovation
The Grid Speed Reader (GSR) is a ground-breaking innovation designed to revolutionize AutoStore™ system installation and troubleshooting, offering precision, safety, and efficiency in system setup and maintenance.
The GSR measures the slope of each cell, diagonally and in both the x and y directions as it traverses across the top of the grid, ensuring precise alignment during system installation. The reader can also be used to troubleshoot problems on existing installations, such as robots struggling to pick a box or remain stationary on the grid.
Innovation Statement
The GSR is the only device made to measure the slope of the AutoStore grid, with the added capability of self-propulsion and an automatic return to start, enhancing safety and efficiency by eliminating the need for a surveyor to be on the grid.
Post-installation, it generates comprehensive compliance reports, guaranteeing system integrity.
Applicability
The Grid Speed Reader streamlines AutoStore™ system installations and minimizes troubleshooting efforts, and its innovative design and autonomous surveying capabilities not only improve the quality of installations but also reduce downtime, making it a game-changer for those in the industry.
