Authorized Employee - A person who locks out or tags out machines or
equipment in order to perform servicing or maintenance on the machine or
equipment.
Back-end - This is used as a reference to the customer’s servers. Other
common names may be warehouse management system (WMS), warehouse
control system (WCS), or simply the customer’s servers.
Barcode - This is the identifier on a package that is made up of a series of lines.
These are read by the OPEX scan tunnel and/or optional barcode reader to
identify the package.
Bin - Bins, totes, or boxes are the terms used for the container in which the
product gets delivered.
Charge Control board - A printed circuit board located inside the loading
column that distributes power to the main charge rail and auxiliary charge rails.
This can hold as much as 50 amps of electricity and should only be handled by
a qualified technician.
Charging rail - Charging rails are copper strips that provide power to the
iBOTs, so that they can run in the stacker section and make their deliveries.
There can be as many as three charge rails. One in the front door and up to
two in the loading module (Auxiliary rail 1 & 2). These rails can hold as much
as 50 amps of electricity and should only be handled by a qualified technician.
Clear Path Motor - The Clear path motor controls the pacing conveyor. Clear
Path is programmable and can adjust for varying weight capacities ensuring a
solid steady movement.
Conveyor - A mechanical assembly used for moving items from one place to
another. Conveyors are located in three areas:
• In the Induct section, the conveyor is used to deliver the items to an
available iBOT.
• Optional return conveyor, which sends items back to the operator for further
processing.
• On an iBOT, the conveyor belt can move in either direction, making it very
easy to support the double-sided stacker section.
E-Stop - Short for “Emergency Stop,” this is a mechanical safety device that
shuts part or all of the machine down when pressed.
