Abstract
The storage assembly has four column structures which may each include a belt mounted on an upper pulley and a lower pulley. The lower pulley of each column is driven by an electric motor, which is synchronized with a controller coupled to logistic-control software system. Shelves are coupled to the belts which are used to hold storage platforms. Parts are placed on the storage platforms which are moved from the storage assembly to robotic vehicles or storage racks.
