Abstract: A method and an apparatus or system for sorting non-sorted containers in a predetermined sequence in an order-picking system includes a main conveying track by means of which the non-sorted containers are transported within the order-picking system, in particular to an order-picking workstation or into a container store, in a main conveying direction. The apparatus includes a conveying-track circuit, which can be connected to the main conveying track via an introduction point, for introducing containers into the conveying-track circuit, and via a discharge point, for discharging containers which are located in the conveying-track circuit. At least one transfer device is arranged within the conveying-track circuit such that containers can be exchanged between a first exchange point and a second exchange point of the conveying-track circuit.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an order-picking systems (100; 100?), wherein the order-picking system comprises a high-bay warehouse (10), at least one tray warehouse (16), at least one packing station (20; 32), and at least one shipping station (22), comprising the following steps: a) depalletizing (S20) in a layerwise manner packing units (42), which form a, particularly complete, pallet layer (40), from a pallet (44), particularly a EuroPallet, which respectively carries a plurality of packing units (42), which are to be picked, of a type of article, onto a correspondingly dimensioned tray (46); b) bringing (S30) the tray (46) loaded with the pallet layer (40) into the tray warehouse (16), preferably by means of a conveyor technique (14), a storage machine and/or a lift; c) recalling (S40) the tray (46) loaded with the pallet layer (40) in accordance with an order-picking order or several order-picking orders to the packing station (20; 32); removing in accordance with the order-picking or
Abstract: An automated order-picking system for conveying article units towards a workstation, including at least one storage rack having a plurality of storage locations for receiving load supports, on which or in which article units are stored, preferably by one sort only, wherein the storage rack is divided into rack regions, wherein each of the rack region comprises a plurality of rack planes which respectively comprise a plurality of storage locations being arranged side-by-side, one endlessly rotating central conveyor, particularly a conveyor belt, being arranged along a longitudinal side of the storage rack and preferably between two storage racks, and which is divided into a plurality of windows, a number of vertical elevators being arranged one behind the other along the longitudinal side of the storage rack, and which respectively comprise one load suspension device for receiving and delivering of at least one of the storage units.
Abstract: The present invention refers to a process for the resolution into one of its enantiomers of the racemate of compound of formula (I): which comprises separating said one of its enantiomers from a diastereoisomeric salt of formula (II), which is formed by reaction of the racemic mixture with an optically active acetylated amino acid of formula (III). The invention also refers to new intermediates which are useful to carry out the process of the invention.

Abstract: A process for aseptic packaging of sterile liquids in flexible containers including a pre-chamber pressurized with a sterilized inert fluid that is injected through an auxiliary line and flows out to activate a sterile barrier such as to allow complete asepsis of the packaging process. A pressing device compresses the film to form a seal against the outer surface of the feed tube that introduces sterile liquid into the aseptic packaging chamber.
Abstract: A tankless hot water heater includes a pipe, at least one heating element, sensors, an input means and a microprocessor. The pipe has an inlet and an outlet. The at least one heating element is configured to heat water flowing through the pipe. At least one sensor is configured to measure a temperature of water flowing through the pipe prior to heating by the at least one heating element. At least one sensor is configured to measure a flow rate of water flowing through the pipe. The input means is configured for entering a set point for a temperature of water heated by the at least one heating element. The microprocessor is configured to receive as input the temperature of water flowing through the pipe prior to heating, the flow rate of water flowing through the pipe, and the set point for a temperature of heated water, and the microprocessor is configured to provide as output a power setting to the one or more heating elements.
