French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Automation & Robotics / Automatic warehouse procedures
French term or phrase: meuble
From Operator Procedures for an automatic warehouse system. The Appendix has a table that describes various actions an operator can perform to configure the warehouse. One is assign a "meuble", which I've been translating as "Unit" for want of better. Is there a specific term?
Transfer Unit, Container, and the different pieces of equipment such as trays and bins, as well as different zones, spaces and areas within the warehouse are already defined terms in the document.

Permet de rechercher un meuble dans la zone de destination actuelle
Paramètre n°1 : liste des **meubles** séparés par des pipes (nullable)

The term comes up elsewhere in the document:
"Nom de la base de sortie par défaut du meuble 1, meuble 2... ; donnée exploitée quand la destination calculée sur la base d’entrée est incorrecte"

"C’est le taux d’occupation du meuble, nous visualisons la proportion des emplacements en fonction de leur état."

Explanation:
I've no idea, of course, just what is being stored there - but if it's smallish items, could it possibly be a cabinet?
