Urban Delivery: Imagine leveraging existing utility infrastructure beneath city streets for package delivery. Fulfillment centers would still use current picking and packing processes and automation, but instead of a package diverting to trucks for loading, the packages would travel via conveyor into underground tunnels. An extensive network of covered conveyors and autonomous robots would run beneath the streets, funded by municipal tax dollars. Each city building would feature its own delivery system. Your package travels underground, gets diverted to your block, and arrives at an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) that sorts packages by address. The final step involves a pneumatic delivery tube and technology to identify customers and unlock access to their packages. No trucks. No drivers. The last mile of delivery is achieved with conveyors, automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), pneumatic tubes, and facial recognition software. Only use label text. All conveyors are underground. ASRS is underground. Conveyor leaving fulfillment center should go underground. The logical package flow is on conveyor from fulfilment center to underground, then conveyors and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) deliver to AS/RS, on conveyor and AMRs from AS/RS to under apartment building, up and into apartment in pneumatic tube, to pick up station using facial recognition Mehr sehen
