Partition • Black

A segment of Physical library. It contains the continuous range

The created partition should be assigned to a Logical library.
The Logical library should contain at least one storage

In dual aisle libraries, the partition also must be in the range of
one robot only. If the robot is offline, its partitions are offline,
too.
