Abstract: A system for storage of goods carriers with a rack having storage shelves for the goods carriers on multiple levels, with a rack-servicing machine for storage of goods carriers into the storage shelves and for discharge of goods carriers from the storage shelves. The rack-servicing machine runs along tracks extending the longitudinal extension of the rack, preferably in an aisle between two racks, and is configured to service at least one level, where the goods carriers have at least two pockets correspondingly located in respective opposite side walls configured to allow interaction with the load handler of the rack-servicing machine.

Abstract: A picking device and method for increasing the through-put of picking an order from a storage container into an order container. The picking device includes a mobile platform capable to travel along a guide rail and a robotic gripping arm. The mobile platform includes a receiving location for each of a storage container and an order container, which are both reachable by the robotic gripping arm. The robotic gripping arm is actuated by a platform-supported image acquisition and evaluation unit and by a platform-supported controller.

Abstract: A single-level rack serving apparatus for transporting load units, which comprises two chassis halves each having a pair of rollers and each having an extendible arm, a storage region between the chassis halves and a connection structure, wherein the chassis halves are connected to one another by the connection structure and travel on running rails by the rollers. The arms serve to pull up or push down load units onto or from the storage region which comprises at least two first and second lateral supporting plates for supportingly carrying the load units. The size of the storage region can be varied by varying the spacing between the arms together with the lateral supporting plates. A further third supporting plate is arranged between the first and second lateral supporting plates such that it supports a load unit centrally from below in the storage region irrespective of the size of the storage region.
