… it would be futile to deny that some new ideas are more revolutionary than others, that certain conceptions start a long chain of consequential improvements
John Jewkes, The Sources of Invention 1958
Every once in a while, a new idea that can flip convention on its head appears seemingly out of nowhere - a new way to do old things is thought of.
Team Conveyer Intellectual Properties LLC (TCIP), a California startup, is a pure-intellectual-property-play with a transformative new idea. TCIP’s main goal is to create a large financial asset with present value that can be donated to charities like WIRhE and MSF.
In virtually all conveyancing systems today, items are stowed on fixed shelves, picked, moved and placed as needed, a modus operandi unchanged since the invention of agriculture 10,000 years ago.
In TCT, items are stored on ‘intelligent’ moving shelves, that can stop and start precisely, cooperating to deliver or sort items of interest to specified stations. TCT involves simple autonomous one-axis, bi-directional, pre-scheduled, movement of items of interest on conveyers that run on fixed tracks to fixed stations – and TCT enables simple one-axis transfer of items, conveyer to station, conveyer to conveyer. Individual passenger items are identified solely by their location and time on their conveyer, eliminating the need for repetitive scanning.
In the ~$5.6 trillion retail fulfillment industry, TCT will increase throughput rates 5x, reduce labor costs by 80%.
In the rapidly growing ~$250B clinical lab industry TCT will increase productivity by orders of magnitude. By 2030 we predict that 60% of the revenues of the clinical lab industry worldwide, ~$200B, will be generated by clinical lab tests performed on TCT automated instruments.
Who would have imagined such a simple change as storing things on moving shelves rather than picking things off fixed shelves would make such a difference?
Summing up,TCIP has invented Team Conveyer Technology (TCT), a PUSH storage system that is destined to replace virtually all today‘s storage and fulfillment PULL systems.
TCIP is currently focusing on our spinoff, TCIP Micro LLC, which has rights to TCT in clinical lab automation. TCIP Micro will license TCT royalty free to IVD manufacturers who agree to sell TCT equipment only to labs with a TCT end-user license. End-user clinical labs will be required to pay royalties on revenues from work done on TCT equipment. It is key to appreciate the huge scale of these future royalties. calculates to a present value of $10-20B over the life of our patents
There are many examples where a transformative new idea does not take hold until a powerful institution takes charge of its rollout. To achieve our main goal, it is essential that we transfer TCT diagnostics promotion and licensing to one of the major companies in the clinical lab industry: Roche, Beckman Coulter, Abbott, Becton Dickinson, Thermo Fisher, Abbott, Hologic, Bio-Rad, Siemens - Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp.
Our desired TCIP Micro Business Scenario: Quest Diagnostics for example, acquires 51% of the shares of TCIP Micro and sets about vigorously introducing TCT in clinical labs worldwide in a way that will accelerate the rollout of TCT in lab automation. TCIP Micro shareholders donate a major portion of the remaining shares to charity.
Quest Diagnostics aggressively markets the TCT idea to automation manufacturers, and to clinical labs who will demand TCT. Quest issues RFPs to manufacturers to create specific automated instruments in the seven species of diagnostic analytic modules: blood bank, chemistry, ISE, immunoassay hematology, coagulation and molecular. And RFPs for a TCT clinical lab track system much superior to the present Impeco track system. Ordering the best automated system RFP responses for their own Quest labs will certainly get the ball rolling.
A successful TCT rollout will produce annual royalties for Quest Diagnostics of $2-3B, EBT 90%, by 2030, and a similar amount for TCIP Micro.
TCIP Micro is currently conducting acampaign to create general awareness of TCT and persuade one of the major companies above to take over all operations for licensing TCT; and also to invest in strengthening and defending our intellectual property to the greatest extent possible.
Our parent company Team Conveyer Intellectual Properties LLC will concentrate on transforming automation in the $10T warehouse, supply chain, fulfillment industries.

The TCIP Story
The TCIP Story
The TCIP Story
From the Stone Age to modern times:, civilization has used the same basic method for storing surpluses: carry, stow, pick, carry (CSPC) - the age old practice of stowing items on fixed shelves and picking selected items from them as they were needed.
The TC Ecosystem
The TCIP Story
The TCIP Story
The transition from current micro and macro conveyancing systems to Team Conveyer Technology (TC), from PULL to PUSH, over the next decade will create a vast business ecosystem that did not exist before. It will create opportunities for creation of several kinds of very profitable new businesses, such as the following A to G type companies.

How does TC increase test throughput 100x
How does TC increase test throughput 100x
Team Conveyer Technology (TC) is our patent pending invention that will create unprecedented efficiencies in conveyance systems of all kinds, micro: diagnostic instruments, and macro:warehouse storage, supply chains, and manufacturing assembly. TC opens a whole new direction for innovation in these ecosystems. TCIP has filed for intellectual property rights worldwide.
How does TC increase test throughput 100x
How does TC increase test throughput 100x
How does TC increase test throughput 100x
It is critical for TCIP for companies to know that the throughput of automated clinical lab instruments can be increased >100x that of current automated instruments by employing Team Conveyer Technology (TC). This achievement distinguishes TC from any robotic instrument system that ever existed before. Such high-throughput is enabled because TC is particularly amenable to employing production line technique.
PTID: Place-Time Identification
How does TC increase test throughput 100x
PTID: Place-Time Identification
Place Time Identification (PTID), is an essential feature of a Team Conveyer system (TC) whereby items stored on teams of conveyors rather than on fixed shelves are identified by a Place Time ID (PTID) tag. PTID means that the processor that controls a TC transport logistics system ‘knows’ what it is has to move, where it is on which conveyer, where to move it to and when, how and even why, for what purpose, to move it. PTID is the heart of our IP. It will enable unprecedented control of scheduling movements in a supply chain end to end, truly transformative improvements in transport logistics systems of the future.

PTID: Place-Time Identification
It is critical for TCIP for people to know that the throughput of automated diagnostic instruments can be multiplied >100xby employing Team Conveyer Technology (TC). This high throughput is enabled because TC is particularly amenable to employing production line methods. And TC production line methods can be applied to all seven species of analytic methods resulting in speeding up test-throughput rates of clinical laboratories >100 times.
