Abstract: A storage and retrieval system for a high-bay warehouse comprising a superordinate control computer having a communication module and at least two self-driving gangway vehicles which are non-mechanically interlinked to each other. A control apparatus with a communication apparatus, of which at least one of the communication apparatuses is formed to bidirectionally communicate with the communication module of the superordinate control computer. The control apparatus of the gangway vehicles prompts a drive apparatus of the gangway vehicles to drive into or drive out of warehouse gangways the high-bay warehouse. A measurement of the path covered by the respective gangway vehicle is carried out by a path measurement apparatus that is in a communication connection with the control apparatus. The control apparatus of the gangway vehicles is designed to prompt a lifting apparatus of the gangway vehicles to adjust a load receiver between a raised and a lowered position.

Abstract: A storage and retrieval system for a high-bay warehouse comprising at least two self-propelling shuttle vehicles, which comprise a lifting device and are set up to move into and out of storage channels of the high-bay warehouse in order to deliver a loading unit to a storage space of the high-bay warehouse or to pick up a loading unit from a storage space. A transport platform in a rack aisle of the high-bay warehouse which is self-propelled or carried in a direction of travel, which is set up to receive at least two of the shuttle vehicles in a row oriented perpendicularly with respect to the direction of travel arranged one behind the other. A first shuttle vehicle is set up to lift, transport and set down a loading unit completely automatically, and wherein the first shuttle vehicle and a second shuttle vehicle are set up only at a distance from one another to lift, synchronously transport and set down part of a joint loading unit.

Abstract: A method for the partial emptying of buoyant objects, which are stored in a loading aid having at least one opening is provided. A processing weight to be partially emptied is established. A fill weight is determined of the objects in the loading aid via a first weighing. The loading aid is at least partially immersed in a liquid bath. The loading aid is positioned or moved for a retention time predefined as a function of the fill weight and of the processing weight in the bath such that there is an on-average constant flow relative to the loading aid and such that the opening is disposed at least partially below a fill level surface of the bath, whereby the objects are taken along by the flow. The at least partially emptied loading aid is lifted out of the bath after the retention time has elapsed.

Abstract: A configuration contains a coupling mechanism for closing a door of a rack store, the door being guided in particular on rails, and an uncoupling and displacing device for opening and displacing the door. The uncoupling and displacing device has a displaceable driver, with which the coupling mechanism can be moved from a closed position into an open position and the door can be displaced. A closure sensor monitors the closed position of the coupling mechanism.

Abstract: A logistics installation for a high-rack storage system has a plurality of conveyor vehicles that travel along a reference track section. A control device is enabled to block a given region of the reference section for travel by a second conveyor vehicle depending on a measured position of a first conveyor vehicle along the reference section. A device for determining a direction of movement of the conveyor vehicles transmits a corresponding signal to the control device. The region that is blocked for the second conveyor vehicle can be established by the control device with regard to the signal representing the direction of movement of the first conveyor vehicle.
