Universal robotic-enabled storage and retrieval system
Apparatuses, methods and computer program products for a temperature regulated container disclosed herein. An example temperature regulated apparatus comprises a base container. The base container includes at least a base portion, one or more sidewall portions, and a lid portion. The temperature regulated apparatus also includes one or more thermoelectric components, wherein (i) each of the one or more thermoelectric components are configured to be disposed within the interior of the base container, (ii) each thermoelectric component comprises an exterior surface, an interior surface, and a composite semiconductor layer disposed between the exterior surface and interior surface, and (iii) each thermoelectric component is configured to, in an instance current flows through the thermoelectric component, transfer heat between the interior surface and exterior surface.
1. A temperature regulated apparatus comprising:
a base container;
one or more thermoelectric components, wherein each thermoelectric component comprises an exterior surface and an interior surface and is configured to, when a current flows through a thermoelectric component, transfer heat between the interior surface and the exterior surface; and
an inductive charging grid, wherein the inductive charging grid is integrated within the base container and configured to induce the current within the one or more thermoelectric components, wherein the inductive charging grid comprises one or more inductive charging grid sections, wherein each inductive charging grid section is configured to provide the current to the one or more thermoelectric components.
2. The temperature regulated apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more thermoelectric components are configured to be disposed within an interior portion of the base container.
3. The temperature regulated apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more thermoelectric components is configured to be disposed outside of the base container.
4. The temperature regulated apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the inductive charging grid is configured to be powered using one or more batteries.
5. The temperature regulated apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to measure at least one of a temperature or a humidity of an interior portion of the base container.
6. The temperature regulated apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base container further includes one or more louvre sets, wherein each louvre set includes one or more louvres configured to actuate as a unit, wherein each louvre set is configured to move between an open configuration and a closed configuration, wherein, when a louvre set is not in the closed configuration, air flows between an interior portion of the base container and a surrounding external environment of the base container.
7. The temperature regulated apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a controller, wherein the controller is configured to perform one or more operational tasks, wherein the controller is in communication with at least one or more sensors and the inductive charging grid.
8. The temperature regulated apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the one or more operational tasks include at least one of:
actuating one or more louvre sets between one or more configurations,
activating the one or more inductive charging grid sections of the inductive charging grid, or
providing one or more warning data objects to one or more user devices when one or more trigger events occur.
9. The temperature regulated apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the one or more trigger events include determination that one or more temperature values do not satisfy one or more temperature threshold values, one or more humidity values do not satisfy one or more humidity threshold values, or a maintenance time duration satisfies one or more maintenance time durations.
10. The temperature regulated apparatus of claim 1 , wherein two or more of the one or more thermoelectric components are stacked adjacent to one or another such that an interior surface of one thermoelectric component is adjacent to an exterior surface of another thermoelectric component.
