    [01] [01] The present invention and method were developed to fully respond to the complex and variable logistical requirements of controlled and high-value products. Generally speaking, there are currently three different categories of interorganizational logistic systems: manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic. They range from simple and inexpensive shelves to complex and expensive fully automatic systems, but in general they have little flexibility and ability to evolve, and do not have any mobility.
    [02] [02] It is an objective of the present invention to provide a flexible and evolutionary solution, starting from a simple and economical basis, having the possibility to evolve to a fully automated system. The base unit has a manual shelving system, with or without a computerized Warehouse Management System, integrated or not with a Business Management System (SGE). Depending on the customer's needs, on that base it can evolve to Manual Assisted Operation and incorporate a Light Assisted Dispensing system (fig.5) controlled by the SGA and optionally integrated with the SGE.
    [03] [03] Depending on the customer's needs, the System can, on the same basis, continue to evolve into a semi-automatic base System (fig.6), using a three-axis Cartesian robot (14) collecting the CUs from multiple locations in the modules from a shelf (9) and transferring them to the collection area, for manual dispensing product by product, controlled by the SGA and computer, optionally integrated with the SGE. For higher workloads, this system can further evolve, on the same basis, by adding one or more workstations equipped with a set of computer-controlled drawers (Fig.7). The Cartesian Robot (14) collects the CUs from their storage locations in the shelf modules (9) and transfers them to a set of drawers (16), for product-by-product controlled manual dispensing, managed by the SGA and computer, optionally integrated with the SGE.
    [04] [04] Depending on the customer's needs, the system can also continue to evolve into a fully automatic system (fig. 8), using a three-axis Cartesian robot (14) plus an automatic dispensing system, which collects products from within the UCs and transfers them to the Order Units (UE) ordering the order, which when complete are transferred to a set of drawers (16), controlled by the SGA and computer and optionally integrated with the SGE.
    [05] [05] It is another objective of the present invention to be a completely mobile unit. Warehouses are currently part of buildings, or on construction sites are sheds, containers or tents. The present invention allows for the mobile use of the Unit as a ready-to-use warehouse and dispenser anywhere, avoiding costly and rigid construction work, while allowing the Unit to be easily relocated within buildings or transporting it to another external location. . The unit can be transported fully loaded, ready to go into operation when it arrives at its destination. This feature is especially useful, but not exclusively, for the storage and management of equipment and spare parts, in drilling or mining yards, offering a quick and simple way to support operations in remote areas.
    [06] [06] It is another objective of the present invention to have an additional version capable of arduous operation in extreme conditions of terrain and climate. This feature is especially useful, but not exclusively, for Pharmacies in Field Hospitals or spare parts storage and management in emergency, disaster or conflict humanitarian operations, as well as any other industrial, military or defense application, allowing for quick and easy relocation, with fully loaded Units transported by land, sea or air.
    [07] [07] It is another objective of the present invention to have a completely autonomous version, as a way to enhance the Unit's operational capacity for arduous use in extreme terrain and climate conditions (fig. 4). Emergency humanitarian operations, disaster, conflict or remote facilities, drilling yards or miners generally lack any supporting infrastructure, for example power. To deal with those limitations keeping the Unit perfectly operational, the present invention can also, but not exclusively, integrate autonomous systems, of electrical generation (49), compressed air (18), internal temperature control (19) and internal control of moisture (20). These standalone systems can be installed individually or as a complete set, depending on operational needs.
    [08] [08] It is another objective of the present invention, to be entirely modular allowing the increase of capacity. When the need for additional capacity arises, the present invention makes it possible to expand the original Unit with additional modules (64) (fig. 10) or by coupling and integrating it with additional Units (65) (fig.11), which will function as a all, including with the computer-controlled SGA, also with this native expandability.
    [09] [09] It is another objective of the present invention, in another version, to be able to control, monitor and record indoor temperature and humidity, with an integrated system. The Unit's interior can have a single environmentally controlled zone, or it can be divided into multiple zones with different temperature and humidity requirements. This feature is especially useful, but not exclusively, for pharmacies, blood banks, electronics and art collections among many others.
    [010] [010] It is another objective of the present invention to be able to detect and extinguish fire autonomously (fig.13), using fire detectors (22) (eg temperature, smoke, UV or other) and a high pressure flooding system. CO 2. Fire detectors are placed throughout the Unit, integrated with exterior and interior acoustic alarm. The CO2 bottle group (23) is located on the top side of the Unit for easy access and maintenance. The CO2 extinguishing system is activated manually or automatically, but for safety reasons, the activation of the device (24) is only possible with the access doors closed.
    [011] [011] It is another objective of the present invention to ensure access control to products stored in the Unit. Access is only granted to authorized users, through registration in a computerized or biometric system. For manual Units without a computer or computer program, access control to the interior of the Unit is guaranteed through a mechanical lock (11). During normal operation of the semi and fully automatic Units, access to the interior of the Unit is only possible when stopped for maintenance or emergency access. Access to the Unit is controlled through registration in a computerized or biometric system. During operation, the possibility of qualitative error is eliminated by the system, allowing access to only one drawer / product at a time, together with an optical reading system, effectively eradicating the possibility of qualitative error in dispensing or replenishment. In the semi-automatic unit, one product at a time is available through the drawers. The fully automatic unit is available through the drawers, only one order at a time. Without product validation or ordering and drawer closing, the Unit does not unlock the next drawer.
    [012] [012] It is another objective of the present invention, to provide different levels of access according to the stored products. The semi and fully automatic units have a computer and computer program, which allow users to define levels of access to different types of products. This feature is especially useful, but not exclusively, for pharmacies with mandatory control medications.
    [013] [013] It is another objective of the present invention to manage and control selective access to individual zones within a CU (fig. 14), when placed inside a drawer of workstations (16). With this system it is possible to guarantee an operation free of qualitative error, even when storing different products within the same CU, equipped with internal dividers (52) and (fig.15).
    [014] [014] It is another objective of the present invention to provide controlled access to the Unit even in the event of power failure or failure of the Unit. To do so, access to the interior of the Unit is controlled through a mechanical lock (11). This feature is especially useful, but not exclusively, for pharmacies that need access to stored medicines in any event.
    [015] [015] The proposed methods of replenishment and dispensing of the Unit's products vary depending on the Unit's level of automation. For the Manual Unit, the operator uses replacement and dispensing lists. The list, in paper or electronic device, includes the product identification number, description, location within the Unit, quantity to be dispensed or replenishment and code for optical reading. For better productivity, the dispensing method can consolidate orders into work waves, so when the operator is directed to a CU location, the quantity to be dispensed is the total units of that product needed to satisfy the multiple orders in consolidated processing. After dispensing the products are divided according to orders. The capacity and location of each CU is controlled by the computer program. For the Light Assisted Manual dispensing operation, there is no need to issue a list, the operator only has to follow the system indications, the light bars and screens (13) indicate where and the number of product units to be collected from the CU . In this type of dispensing, order consolidation and an optical reading system for validation can also be used. The capacity and location of each CU is controlled by the computer program. For the semi-automatic system (fig. 7), the computer-controlled Cartesian Robot (14) collects the CUs (8) from the multiple locations on the shelf modules (9) and in the Base Unit transfers them to a drawer (15), or set of drawers (16) in the workstation(s) (17), for controlled dispensing and replacement, product by product. Consolidation of orders and optical reading system for validation can also be used. The capacity and location of each CU is controlled by the computer program. For the fully automatic system (fig.8), the computer-controlled Cartesian Robot (14) collects the CUs from multiple locations on the rack modules and transfers them to the unit processing zone, where another Robot (53) collects the desired quantities of each product, placing them divided by order in a set of Order Units (EU) (55). When completing an order, the Cartesian Robot (14) picks up the respective UE and places it in a set of drawers (16) in the workstation(s) (17). In this type of dispensing, order consolidation and an optical reading system for validation can also be used. The capacity and location of each CU is controlled by the computer program. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    [016] [016] Briefly, the present invention proposes a mobile unit for storage and dispensing enabling a flexible and evolutionary solution, completely modular and mobile, being also capable of operating in arduous terrain and extreme weather conditions. The Unit can also be completely autonomous (fig.4), with an integrated generator (49). It can also control, monitor and record indoor temperature and humidity. The Unit can integrate computerized systems that guarantee access control to stored products, as well as a mechanical lock system (11) that ensures access control in case of power failure or breakdown. The computerized system allows different levels of access to users depending on the products stored, restricting access to certain products to accredited users. The system manages and controls selective access to individual zones within a load unit (UC) (fig.14) when placed inside a workstation drawer (16). This feature avoids qualitative error, even when storing more than one type of product in the same CU, equipped with internal dividers (52). The Unit may have one or more independent workstations (17), which can be positioned anywhere on the front or rear face of the Unit and work simultaneously with any logistical flow.
    [017] [017] The present invention can be autonomous, with an integrated generator set (49), air compressor (18), internal temperature control (19) and internal humidity control (20), among others. The Unit may have a fire detection and extinction system, using fire detectors (22) and a high pressure CO2 flooding system. The CO2 fire extinguishing system is activated manually or automatically, but for safety reasons the activation of the device (24) can only be carried out with the doors closed. The Unit can be built in the standard version (fig. 3) or in the version for operation in harsh climate/terrain conditions (fig. 4). The aforementioned mobility of the Unit is also possible when fully loaded, thanks to the fixing devices for the load units (CU) (35)(38)(44), capable of maintaining the CUs and their contents in defined locations.
    [018] [018] In the version of the Unit for operation in harsh climate/terrain conditions, standard external dimensions were adopted,
    [019] [019] The proposed system uses the aforementioned indoor temperature and humidity control capability for the "Multi-temperature" version, having the possibility of having inside the same Unit, simultaneously different zones with different environments, allowing centralization of the stock of products with varying environmental storage requirements.
    [020] [020] Being fully modular it is possible to expand the Unit to obtain additional capacity. Keeping the base Unit, the present invention allows, coupling and integrating additional modules (64) (Fig. 10) or coupling other complete Units (65) (Fig. 11), functioning as a single Unit. From versions for manual operation to fully automatic operation, the Unit can have different and evolving systems and methods of dispensing and replenishment.
    [021] [021] In the manual version, the computer program controls the multiple storage locations of the CUs within the Unit, generating and optimizing replacement/dispensing lists for the operator. In the light-assisted dispensing version (Fig. 5) the computer program controls the light bars and screens (13), visually indicating the location and quantity of product to restock/dispense. The semi-automatic version (Fig. 7) uses a computer-controlled three-axis Cartesian robot (14), which collects/arranges the desired CUs and places them in the drawers (16) of the workstation(s) (17 ). The system only allows access to one drawer at a time, making qualitative error impossible. The fully automated system (Fig. 8) additionally uses a two-axis robot (53) controlled by computer, which collects the desired products in the desired quantity and places them inside the Order Units (UEs) (55), moving them then to the drawers (16) in the workstation(s), eliminating the possibility of error between orders by allowing access to only one drawer at a time.
    [022] [022] In summary, starting with a simple and economical base, the Unit has the possibility to evolve, increase capacity and/or progress to a fully automated system, always maintaining full mobility. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

    [046] [046] The present invention proposes a Mobile Unit System, for storage and dispensing of controlled products, with autonomous operation and evolutionary possibility, both in terms of capacity and technology.
    [047] [047] For easy transport, the Unit has lashing points (6) for crane handling and gloves for forklift handling (7). The Unit in the harsh climate/terrain version has standard external dimensions for easy transport by land, sea or air.
    [048] [048] The Unit can be transported fully loaded, enabling immediate entry into service upon arrival at the new location. For this purpose, fixation devices (35)(38)(44) are used, keeping the CUs (8) load units and their contents in their “defined” locations. CUs are generally, but not exclusively, plastic boxes, which can store any type of material, solid or liquid, in the form of units, in bulk, in regular or irregular shaped boxes, grains, powders or gels.
    [049] [049] The present invention allows the use of the Unit as a warehouse/dispenser within a building, with easily changeable location, or its transport to another building or shipyard, using the aforementioned mooring points.
    [050] [050] The present invention is also available in versions for operation in harsh climate/terrain conditions, capable of full operation in remote locations. For fully autonomous operation, the Unit can be equipped with independent and integrated systems for power generation (49), compressed air (18), internal temperature control (19) and internal humidity control (20). These stand-alone systems can be installed individually or as a complete set, depending on operational needs.
    [051] [051] As for evolution, the Unit may evolve in capacity and/or technology. In the technological area, the present invention is able to evolve from a manual version, to an assisted manual, basic semi-automatic, semi-automatic and to fully automatic.
    [052] [052] In the manual version (Fig. 3), the Unit consists of a structure and housing, equipped with at least one access door (10) and at least one shelving module (9). The Unit may or may not be equipped with a computerized warehouse management system (SGA), integrated or not with a Business Management System (SGE). The load units (CU) are stored in a modular system of shelves — adjustable (9) with multiple storage locations, arranged by module/shelf/position, allowing for different sizes of CUs.
    [053] [053] From entirely manual, the Unit can evolve to assisted manual, by incorporating a light-assisted dispensing device (47) in the rack modules, controlled by a Warehouse Management System (SGA) and optionally integrated with the SGE .
    [054] [054] The Unit can continue to evolve into a base semi-automatic System, by installing a dispensing point, consisting of a drawer (15) and a device generally known as a three-axis Cartesian Robot (14), which collects the CUs ( 8) from the multiple locations on the shelf modules (9) and transfers them to the drawer (15), for product-by-product controlled manual dispensing, managed by computer and SGA, optionally integrated with the SGE.
    [055] [055] For higher workloads, the Unit can evolve on the same basis, to a semi-automatic system, replacing one or more housing panels (46) and part of the corresponding shelving modules per work station(s) (17) including computer with touch screen (58) and a set of drawers, with or without individual screens. In this system, the Unit integrates a device generally known as a three-axis Cartesian Robot (14), which collects the CUs (8) from multiple locations in the shelf modules (9) and transfers them to the set of drawers (16) located in the (s) workstation(s) for product-by-product controlled manual dispensing, managed by computer and EMS, optionally integrated with EMS.
    [056] [056] The Unit can further evolve into a fully automatic system, additionally using a device generally known as a two-axis Cartesian Robot (53). The three-axis Cartesian Robot (14) collects the CUs (8) from the multiple locations on the shelf modules (9) and transfers them to the automatic dispensing station (54) where the two-axis Cartesian robot (53) performs the individual dispensing of the products, using a suction cup (51) or other device, delivering them to the Order Units (EU) (55). After dispensing, the CUs are collected from the automatic dispensing station and transported back to their locations by the three-axis Cartesian Robot. When an order is complete, the three-axis Cartesian Robot (14) picks up the EU from the automatic dispensing station and delivers it to the set of drawers (16) of the workstation(s) (17), order from order, where the operator only has access to one drawer/order at a time. The Unit is controlled by computer and a Warehouse Management System (SGA) optionally integrated with the SGE.
    [057] [057] As for the evolution of capacity, the present invention has a modular design that allows easy expansion by using additional modules, or by interconnecting several Units. For expansion by adding modules, the top exterior panels are removed and the new modules (64) connected to the existing structure, the exterior panels being reassembled on the new top and operating with the computer-controlled SGA as a single larger unit . The combination of several Units is carried out end-to-end, removing the outer panels from the tops of the Units and interconnecting the structures and working with the computer-controlled SGA, as a single larger Unit.
    [058] [058] For semi-automatic and fully automatic Units, when expanding by additional modules a new horizontal axis is required. To interconnect semi-automatic or fully automatic Units, expansion is accomplished by removing the top exterior panels, or for the arduous operation/extreme weather version by opening the top doors (67), followed by bolt-on interconnecting the structures. Units remain independent, using a delivery zone at the top to transfer UCs from Unit to Unit. Although the Units remain independent, the SGA manages the various Units as one, making the products stored in any of the Units' workstations available. Stand-alone Units (3) can only be mounted on tops of Unit groups (Fig. 12).
    [059] [059] The systems for indoor temperature and humidity control, allow to have a single zone, or divide the interior into several zones with different temperature and humidity requirements.
    [060] [060] In addition, for safety and damage minimization in the event of an internal fire in the Unit, can the Unit be equipped with a fire detection system and a CO flood extinguishing system at high pressure, allowing early detection and extinction. The fire detectors (22) are located throughout the Unit, equipped with an internal and external acoustic alarm.
    [061] [061] Fire detection system may be of the addressable type and connected to an existing fire detection network.
    [062] [062] The unit's internal fire extinguishing system (co2 flooding system) uses nozzles (25) placed in the central aisle and in areas of difficult access behind the rack modules. The extinguishing by co2 is activated manually or automatically, but for safety reasons, the activation of the device (24) is only possible with the access doors closed.
    [063] [063] Access to the unit is limited to authorized users and the level of access control increases as the system evolves to semi and fully automatic versions.
    [064] [064] In manual and light-assisted dispensing versions, access control is carried out through the access door equipped with a mechanical lock system (11)) with or without computerized control.
    [065] [065] In semi and fully automatic versions, access to the system is allowed only to authorized users, via registration in the computerized system or biometric system.
    [066] [066] In the event of power failure or failure of the Unit, controlled manual access is guaranteed through the access door (10), equipped with a mechanical lock system (11). To allow better emergency access to the interior of the Unit, the Cartesian axis system has an integrated manual vertical axis drive system (Fig. 19), using a crank (29) that moves the vertical axis (27) through the respective electric motor (28).
    [067] [067] To reduce manual effort, the horizontal axle (31) has a counterweight system (30) with the additional advantages of keeping the axle in its position without the need for a brake system and allowing the use of a drive motor of lower power, reducing costs and energy consumption.
    [068] [068] In addition to the Unit's general access control system, the present invention can restrict access to selected products to pre-defined users, or users of a certain level.
    [069] [069] In manual and light-assisted dispensing versions, restricted access to selected products requires a separate Unit, or closed shelf module. In semi and fully automatic versions, the Unit has a management and control computer program that allows defining security and access levels by product, user or user level.
    [070] [070] Access control is carried out by defining restricted areas or by controlling the computer program, blocking access to products without prior user authentication and restricting access to some selected products to some users.
    [071] [071] Additionally, the proposed system manages and controls selective access to individual zones of a CU when placed in a workstation drawer (16). With this system it is possible to guarantee an operation free of qualitative errors, even when storing more than one product within the same CU, equipped with internal dividers.
    [072] [072] In the semi-automatic version, the present invention eliminates the possibility of quantitative and qualitative error, allowing access to only one drawer/product at a time, together with an optical validation system.
    [073] [073] In the fully automatic version, the present invention eliminates the possibility of quantitative and qualitative error, allowing only access to one drawer/order at a time, together with an optical reading system.
    [074] [074] Proposed system, when working with the SGA, makes a record of all user activities and product movements, ensuring full traceability.
    [075] [075] To meet the defined objectives, it is proposed a System and method for an evolutionary mobile unit for controlled storage and dispensing of products, as defined in the following claims. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [076] [076] The present invention is an evolutionary mobile unit for controlled storage and dispensing of products, comprising a System that can evolve from fully manual operation, assisted manual, basic semi-automatic, semi-automatic or fully automatic. The Unit can be built to any of these levels and evolve or regress to any other level. The evolutionary capacity is obtained by using a common modular structure (4) and housing (5). The products are stored inside Cargo Units (UC) (8), usually but not exclusively plastic boxes, which can store any type of material, solid or liquid, in the form of units, in bulk, in regular or shaped boxes. lumps, grains, powders or gels:
    [077] [077] Manual Unit — Manually operated unit (Fig. 3), consisting of a frame (4) and frame (5), equipped with at least one access door (10) and at least one shelf module (9). The Unit may or may not be equipped with a computer-controlled Warehouse Management System (SGA) and integrated or not with a Business Management System (SGE). The CUs are stored in a modular system of shelves (9), with multiple locations organized by modules/shelves/position, being adjustable to allow for different sizes of CUs.
    [078] [078] Manual Assisted Unit — The Unit can be upgraded to manual assisted operation by incorporating a device commonly known as light assisted dispensing (47) into existing rack modules, controlled by the SGA and optionally integrated with the SGE. The screens (48) and contact profiles are mounted on the face of the shelves and connected to an interface module that communicates with the SGA.
    [079] [079] Base Semi-Automatic Unit — The Unit can evolve into a Base Semi-Automatic System (Fig. 6) by installing a dispensing point, usually a drawer placed on the front or back face of the Unit, and installing a device commonly known as a Robot three-axis Cartesian (14), which collects the CUs (8) from their multiple locations on the shelf modules (9) using a standard vacuum and suction system (51) or other device, transferring them to the drawer ( 15), for controlled manual dispensing, product by product, managed by computer and by the SGA, optionally integrated with the SGE. After dispensing, the Cartesian Robot collects the CU from the drawer and returns it to its original location.
    [080] [080] Semi-Automatic Unit -- The Unit can be upgraded to a Semi-Automatic System (Fig. 7) by removing one or more housing panels (46) from the front or rear face of the Unit, and replacing them with one or more stations work (17), with touch screen computer (58) and a set of drawers, with or without screens (13). The shelf modules behind the workstations (17) are adjusted to accommodate the set of drawers (16). It is by installing a device commonly known as a three-axis Cartesian Robot (14), which collects the CUs (8) from their multiple locations on the shelf modules (9) using a standard vacuum and suction system (51), or other device , transferring them to the set of drawers (16) in the workstation(s) (17), for product-by-product controlled manual dispensing, managed by computer and by the SGA, optionally integrated with the SGE. After dispensing, the Cartesian Robot collects the CU from the drawer and returns it to its original location.
    [081] [081] Fully Automatic Unit — The Unit can evolve into a fully automatic system (Fig. 8) by adding a device commonly known as a Two-Axis Cartesian Robot (53). The three-axis Cartesian robot (14) collects the CUs (8) from their multiple locations in the shelf modules (9), transferring them to the automatic dispensing station (54) where the two-axis Cartesian robot (53) performs individual dispensing of products, using a suction cup or other device, delivering them to the Order Units (EU) (55). After dispensing, the CUs are collected from the automatic dispensing station and transported back to their locations by the three-axis Cartesian Robot (14). When an order is complete, the three-axis Cartesian Robot (14) picks up the EU from the automatic dispensing station and delivers it to the drawer(s) (16) of the
    [082] [082] The present invention is a fully mobile Unit, consisting of a lightweight structure and housing (Fig. 3) or reinforced (Fig. 4) for standard use or for operation in harsh climate/terrain conditions. The proposed unit includes anchorage points (6) for crane handling and gloves (7) for forklift handling, so that it is easily maneuvered and transportable by land, sea or air. Additionally and with the same objective, the Unit for operation in harsh climate/terrain conditions, is constructed according to the standard external dimensions of the containers. The Unit can also be transported loaded, allowing an immediate entry into operation when arriving at a new location.
    [083] [083] The present invention can be entirely autonomous, using an integrated generator set (49), air compressor (18), internal temperature control system (19) and internal humidity control system (20), among others.
    [084] [084] The Unit's constructive system allows for easy expansion, by integrating new modules (64) or by interconnecting several Units (Fig. 11). For expansion by additional modules, integration is effected by removing top housing panels (66), horizontally interconnecting the new modules (64) to the existing structure and reassembling the top panels, then functioning as a single larger Unit with the Computer-controlled SGA. The combination of several Units is carried out horizontally, end to end, removing the panels from the top housing and interconnecting the structures (65), then functioning as a single Unit for the computer-controlled SGA. For semi and fully automatic Units, when expanding by adding new modules, it is necessary to replace the horizontal axis.
    [085] [085] To interconnect semi or fully automatic Units, the connection is made horizontally, end to end, removing the top casing panels, or in the case of Units for arduous operation/extreme weather conditions, opening the top doors ( 67) followed by the bolted interconnection of the structures. The Units remain independent, using a delivery zone at the top to transfer UCs between Units. Although the Units remain independent, the SGA manages the various Units as one, making the stored products available to any of the Units' workstations. Stand-alone Units (3) can only be mounted on the ends of Unit groups (Fig. 12).
    [086] [086] The present invention avoids human error and controls access addressing several problems. Basic access control is guaranteed by accessing the interior of the Unit through a mechanical lock system. For versions equipped with a computer, only after registration by password or by biometric system, the user is allowed to operate with the Unit. Qualitative and quantitative human errors are resolved by controlling access to the Unit and/or products.
    [087] [087] The present invention can restrict access to selected products to pre-defined users, or of a certain level. Access control to sensitive products is carried out by defining restricted areas or by the computer control program, which does not allow access to these products without user-level authentication and does not allow access by certain users to certain products.
    [088] [088] In the semi-automatic version, the present invention allows safer access to the products in the Unit, eliminating the possibility of qualitative error, by allowing access only to one drawer/product at a time, together with an optical reading system.
    [089] [089] In the fully automatic version, the present invention allows safer access to products within the Unit, eliminating the possibility of qualitative and quantitative error, by allowing access to a drawer/order at the same time, together with an optical reading system .
    [090] [090] The proposed system also makes it possible to know which user accessed a particular product, allowing for a registration and subsequent control of the movements of the products. In case of power failure or failure of the Unit, the controlled access to the interior of the Unit is guaranteed by the access door(s) equipped with a mechanical lock system.
    [091] [091] To allow better access to the interior of the Unit, the Cartesian axis system (Fig. 19) has an integrated possibility of manual activation of the vertical axis (27), using a crank (29) acting through the respective electric motor ( 28). To reduce manual effort, the vertical axle (27) has a counterweight system (30) which has the additional advantage of keeping the axle in its rest position without the need for a brake, also allowing the use of a lower power motor .
    [092] [092] For safety and damage minimization in the event of a fire inside the Unit, it can be equipped with a fire detection system (22) (e.g. smoke, temperature, UV or other), allowing an early fire detection. Fire detectors are located throughout the Unit, equipped with an internal and external acoustic alarm (Fig. 13).
    [093] [093] The fire detection system may be of the addressable type and connected to an existing fire detection network. The Unit may also have a fire extinguishing system, using a high-pressure CO2 flooding system, using nozzles (25) positioned in the central aisle and in areas of difficult access behind the rack modules.
    [094] [094] The CO 2 extinguishing system is activated manually or automatically, but for safety reasons, the activation of the device (24) is only possible with the access doors closed. Activation of the extinguishing CO2 system sequentially triggers the following actions: cut off the power supply to the Unit, activation of CO2 alarms (light and horn), autonomous mechanical closing of the respirators (26), opening of the CO2 bottles (23) . The CO2 bottle group is positioned on the top side of the Unit for easy access and maintenance. When equipped with the CO2 fire extinguishing system the Unit has a watertight construction with breathers that can be automatically closed, allowing safe use of the extinguishing system even when the Unit is installed in a small enclosed space.
    [095] [095] A system that manages and controls selective access to individual zones within a CU (fig. 14), when placed inside a workstation drawer (16). With this system it is possible to guarantee an operation free of qualitative error, even when storing different products within the same CU, equipped with internal dividers (52) and (fig.15). This drawer is computer controlled and available for installation in Semi-Automatic Units. The system manages the CUs with internal partitions, as an extension of the locations of the shelving modules (9), the drawer is equipped with two plastic shutters (57), or another, actuated by two electric motors (56) with reducers and gear. drive. Each plastic blind is pulled in opposite directions for the necessary stroke to uniquely expose the intended location within the CU, ensuring that the remaining locations are covered and inaccessible.
    [096] [096] The system controls two independent blinds, allowing the management of any size and number of transversal divisions of the CUs.
    [097] [097] For the delivery and collection of the CUs to the Unitarizing drawer, the shutters are in a resting position, allowing the free movement of the CUs through the three-axis Cartesian system. After delivering the CU to the Unitarizing drawer, the computer controls the position of the blinds, so as to physically allow access only to the desired location within the CU. When the blinds are in position, the Unitarizer drawer is ready for replacement or dispensing, then when the Unitarizer drawer is closed and locked, the blinds return to the rest position, allowing the collection of the CU back to its location in the shelving module.
    [098] [098] The operator's interaction with the semi and fully automatic Units is carried out by the workstation(s) (17). Each workstation is equipped with a touch screen computer (58) for computer program operation and a set of no less than two drawers (16). Each drawer can be equipped with a screen (13), acting as a visual indicator of the drawer to open, quantity to be dispensed and system messages.
    [099] [099] Workstation drawers — In semi and fully automatic units, the drawers (Fig. 20) are an integral part of the workstation and during operation, the CUs (8) are deposited and collected from its interior by the system of Cartesian axes (14).
    [0100] [0100] For large products, the semi and fully automatic units may also have large static drawers (21) located in the lower area of the shelf modules.
    [0101] [0101] The static drawers and drawers are kept closed (Fig. 21), by pneumatic locks (33), or another, and opened only one time, by the computerized system. Workstation drawers and static drawers are managed together and only open one at a time.
    [0102] [0102] The drawers have guides at their bottom (32) to route and accommodate different sizes of CUs. The CUs are kept inside the drawers in place, through pneumatic locks (34).
    [0103] [0103] Multiple Workstations — The semi and fully automatic Units have at least one workstation (17), up to a maximum equal to the number of rack modules (9). Workstations can be located anywhere on the back or front of the Unit.
    [0104] [0104] In the present invention, access to the Unit is restricted to registered users and the level of access control increases as the system evolves to a semi or fully automatic Unit.
    [0105] [0105] In manual and light-assisted versions, access control is guaranteed by an access door (10), equipped with a mechanical lock system (11), with or without computer control.
    [0106] [0106] In the semi and fully automatic versions, access to the Unit is given only to authorized users, through registration in the computerized system or biometric system.
    [0107] [0107] Restricted access to selected products - The present invention has different levels of control, increasing depending on the version of the Unit.
    [0108] [0108] In addition to the Unit's general access control, the present invention can also restrict access to selected products to pre-defined users or user levels.
    [0109] [0109] In manual and light assisted versions, restricted access to selected products uses a standalone Unit, or a closed shelf module.
    [0110] [0110] In semi and fully automatic versions, the Unit has a computer program and a computer that allow defining access levels by product, user or user level, making some products or orders available only to users with the necessary level.
    [0111] [0111]The semi and fully automatic versions have a computer and a computer program, which has the ability to simultaneously combine any logistical flow (input, output, inventory) in any of the workstations (17). As such, in a Unit equipped with multiple workstations, it is possible to have all the stations simultaneously running similar or different processes, such as having simultaneously a dispensing process in station nº1, a re-provisioning process in station nº2 and also an inventory process at station nº3.
    [0112] [0112] To allow the centralization of stocks of products with different temperature requirements in a single Unit, this unit can be internally divided into several zones, each with different temperature and humidity settings.
    [0113] [0113] The system uses independent climate control systems for each zone, with central compressor and condenser or multiple units (19).
    [0114] [0114] Cooling doors — (Fig. 22) (Fig. 23) The rack modules have individual cooling doors (62) for each CU (8). The doors are closed with four quick-open fasteners (50). The rear face of the extractor (61) has a mechanism for actuating the fasteners (60) and a vacuum and suction system (63) to open and maintain the door on the extractor. The extractor rotates 180º and proceeds with the normal collection of the CU, rotates again 180º, puts the door in position and actuates the fasteners, closing the door. The extractor proceeds with the delivery of the CU to the drawer (16) or to the automatic dispensing station (54). When the dispensing operation is completed, the CU is collected from the drawer or automatic dispensing station, the system repeating the procedure above to open and close the door,
    [0115] [0115] The Unit for operation in harsh climate/terrain conditions is specially designed for any type of operation abroad in adverse conditions, such as humanitarian emergency, disaster or conflict operations, as well as any other industrial, military or defense. As such, it must be able to withstand harsh transport conditions, by land, sea or air, with a full load of products and ready to go into operation when it reaches its destination.
    [0116] [0116] To keep the CUs loaded in their locations, two horizontal fixation systems were developed, a manual and an automatic.
    [0117] [0117] The manual device (Fig. 16) consists of a restriction bar (35) in front of each row of CUs, supported by supports (36) and a fixing pin (37). In operation, these bars are stored in the base of the rack modules.
    [0118] [0118] The automatic device (Fig 17) consists of an unwinder with a screen (38) vertically covering the face of the shelf modules, the screen is connected at one end to a vertical drum (40) operated via an electric motor and reduction box (41 ), being able to rotate in any direction, effectively closing the CUs for transport and opening for operation. The other end of the screen is attached to a vertical axis ensuring screen alignment. The vertical axis and screen run on parallel, top and bottom guides (39). The vertical shaft has a smooth, rotating front lip (42). When moving, it gently presses the CUs into their positions. The system tension is maintained by means of steel cables (43) working in a closed circuit with the screen by the upper and lower guides.
    [0119] [0119] The Unit for operation in harsh climate/terrain conditions is specially designed for any type of operation abroad in adverse conditions, such as humanitarian emergency, disaster or conflict operations, as well as any other industrial, military or defense. As such, it must be able to withstand harsh transport conditions, by land, sea or air, with a full load of products and ready to go into operation when it reaches its destination.
    [0120] [0120] To keep the CUs loaded vertically and their products in their locations, a vertical fixing and covering device was developed. The device (fig. 18) consists of a thin spring-loaded metal sheet (45) mounted under the underside of the shelves and effectively covering the CUs from below and ensuring that their contents remain in place.
    [0121] [0121] In the semi-automatic unit, the number of lines of the same product and the number of units per product line have a great impact on performance.
    [0122] [0122] The human time spent in dispensing to a single customer/patient of some units of product placed in the drawer is faster than the robotic system to place another CU in the buffer set of drawers (16) At the other extreme, when dispensing multiple lines of the same product for several clients/patients, or large quantities of the same product placed in the drawer, the robotic system is faster than the operator, filling the buffer set of drawers and standing still waiting for the human element.
    [0123] [0123] These two situations generate unproductivity, the operator waiting for the robot or the robot waiting for the operator.
    [0124] [0124] This loss of productivity was overcome by the use of an algorithm that optimizes the work sequence, consolidating and analyzing the dispensing requests received from the SGE, sorting them by decreasing number of lines per product. It then prepares the work sequence by first selecting the largest multi-pick, followed by a mono-pick, followed by the smallest multi-pick, followed by a mono-pick, restarting the sequence with the remaining lines, until all are in sequence. If during this process one of the types of lines (multi or mono-pick) runs out, the algorithm jumps to the next step.
    [0125] [0125] Definitions of dispensing requests received from the SGE:
    [0126] [0126] Multi-pick: Product that has more than one dispensing line in the batch/order for different customers/patients, regardless of the total ordered quantity of the product.
    [0127] [0127] Mono-pick: Product that has only one dispensing line in the batch/order for a customer/patient, regardless of the total ordered quantity of the product.
    [0128] [0128] Restocking and dispensing method:
    [0129] [0129] Manual - The proposed method for restocking and dispensing products from the Manual Unit, when using the SGA, is based on the preparation and use of a replenishment/dispensing list by the operator. The list, on paper or electronic device, includes the product's reference number, its description, its location within the Unit, the quantity to be stored or dispensed and a barcode for optical validation. For better productivity the dispensing method can consolidate orders into work waves, so the operator is directed to a CU location and the indicated quantity for dispensing is the total of that product needed to satisfy the entire work wave orders. After the dispensing process, the products are divided according to the various orders. The capacity and location of each UC is controlled by the computer program;
    [0130] [0130] Assisted Manual — The proposed method for restoring stock and dispensing products from the Assisted Manual Unit, consists of an interface between the SGA and the SGE, through which the SGA receives orders from the SGE. The operator selects the orders to be fulfilled, and then only has to follow the system indications, the screens (48) indicate the location and quantity of units to be stored/dispensed from the CUs. The consolidation of orders and an optical reading system for validation can also be used. The capacity and location of each UC is controlled by the computer program;
    [0131] [0131] Semi-Automatic - The method proposed for restocking and dispensing products from the Semi-Automatic Unit, consists of an interface between the SGA and the SGE, through which the SGA receives orders from the SGE. The operator selects the orders to be fulfilled, after which the Cartesian robot (14) collects the CUs from their multiple locations in the shelf modules (9) and transfers them to a drawer (15) in the semi-automatic base version, or set of drawers (16) at the workstation(s) (17), for manual replacement or dispensing, product by product. The consolidation of orders and an optical reading system for validation can also be used. The capacity and location of each CU is controlled by the computer program. The possibility of qualitative error is eliminated by allowing access to one drawer/product at a time,
    [0132] [0132] Fully Automatic — The proposed method for restocking and dispensing products from the Fully Automatic Unit, consists of an interface between the SGA and the SGE, through which the SGA receives orders from the SGE. The operator selects the orders to be fulfilled, after which the Cartesian robot (14) collects the CUs (8) from their multiple locations in the shelf modules and transfers them to the automatic dispensing station (54) where another robot collects the quantity of each product, delivering them in a set of Order Units (EU) (55) divided by order. When an order is complete, the Cartesian Robot (14) picks up the UE and delivers it to the set of drawers (16) of the workstation(s) (17). The consolidation of orders and an optical reading system for validation can also be used. The capacity and location of each CU is controlled by the computer program. The possibility of qualitative and quantitative error is eliminated by automatic dispensing by allowing access to a drawer/order at a time, together with an optical reading system.
    [0133] [0133] The above description of the invention was made for the purpose of illustrating and explaining it, not intending to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the exact form disclosed, modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings or acquired by practical use of the invention.
    The embodiment was chosen and described to explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, allowing one skilled in the art to utilize the invention in various models suitable for the specific use contemplated.
