A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11964627B2) outlines a method for efficiently loading and delivering customer orders in a vehicle with multiple compartments. The method involves obtaining an order from a customer, loading the order into specific compartments of the vehicle, and installing compartment inserts that facilitate the organization and securement of items within the compartments. By utilizing a compartment control system associated with the vehicle, the method ensures that the order is securely stored and ready for delivery to the customer.

Furthermore, the patent describes a method for detecting the installation of compartment inserts in the vehicle, determining their capabilities, obtaining information from the inserts, and identifying their specific type. This process involves communication interfaces between the inserts and the vehicle, allowing for the transmission of information and control signals. By uniquely identifying each insert and determining its purpose or security features, the method enhances the efficiency and organization of the delivery process. Additionally, the compartment inserts are designed with various couplings and interfaces to enable secure installation, power supply, communication, and control within the vehicle compartments, ensuring the safe and efficient transport of customer orders.
