Abstract: In a method for order-picking articles from source loading aids into or onto target loading aids in a storage and order-picking system, the articles belong to a first group of types of article, whose types of article can be handled automatically, or a second group of types of article, whose types of article can be handled manually. A first order part with articles of the first group of types of article is transported to a first automatic order-picking station and order-picked there, and a second order part with articles of the second group of types of article is transported to a first manual order-picking station and order-picked there. Further, a storage and order-picking system executes the method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a storage and order-picking system (1a . . . 1f) as well as order-picking method for picking ordered goods into or onto a target loading aid (4, 4?), in which at least one of the picking orders comprises multiple order lines (6, 7), which specify (an) ordered good(s) (2, 3) according to its/their type of good (8) and its/their number of pieces to be picked (9). During the execution of a picking order, a first loading aid (11, 11a . . . 11c), which is configured so as to be different from a hanging bag, with ordered good(s) (2) of the first order line (6) is out-fed from a first storage zone (10). Further, a hanging bag (13) with ordered good(s) (3) of the second order line (7) is out-fed from a second storage zone (12). Then, the ordered good(s) (2) of the first order line (6) and the ordered good(s) (3) of the second order line (7) are loaded into or onto a target loading aid (4, 4?) in accordance with the at least one picking order.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for order-picking articles (WQ1?, WQ2, WQ2?, WZ1, WZ1?, WZ2) from source loading aids (Q1, Q1?, Q2, Q2?) into or onto target loading aids (Z1, Z1?, Z2, Z3) in a storage and order-picking system (1). Here, the articles (WQ1?, WQ2, WQ2?, WZ1, WZ1?, WZ2) belong to a first group of types of article (WTG1), whose types of article (WT1..WT3) can be handled automatically, or a second group of types of article (WTG2), whose types of article (WT1..WT3) can be handled manually. A first order part (AT1) with articles (WQ1?, WZ1, WZ1?) of the first group of types of article (WTG1) is transported to a first automatic order-picking station (KA1, KA1?) and order-picked there, and a second order part (AT2) with articles (WQ2, WQ2?, WZ2) of the second group of types of article (WTG2) is transported to a first manual order-picking station (KM1, KM1?) and order-picked there. Further, the invention relates to a storage and order-picking system (1) for carrying out said method.

Abstract: In a first step of a method for bundling conveying streams on a material handling element including a number of incoming conveyor segments, at least one coupling to an outgoing conveyor segment, on which the incoming conveyor segments converge, and a number of holding devices for holding a conveying stream on the incoming conveyor segments, target arrival times, at which the objects arrive as planned at a destination, are calculated for the conveyed objects. A conveyed object is released at a release time which substantially corresponds to the target arrival time minus the target pass-through time required for the conveyed object to be transported as planned from a current position to the destination. A material handling element carries out the method.

Abstract: In a first step of a method for bundling conveyed streams on a material handling element including a number of incoming conveyor segments, at least one coupling to an outgoing conveyor segment, on which the incoming conveyor segments converge, and a number of holding devices for holding a conveyed stream on the incoming conveyor segments, the conveyed objects are vectorially combined in in ascending/descending order according to a desired sorting sequence. When a conveyed object passes the material handling element a vector corresponding to the actual sequence is entered in the vector combination. Conveyed objects are released if a ring with a constant direction is avoided in the vector combination. A material handling element carries out the method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for bundling conveyed streams on a material handling element (Ka . . . Kz, K1 . . . K34) comprising a number of incoming conveyor segments (1a, 1b), at least one coupling (2) to an outgoing conveyor segment (3), on which the incoming conveyor segments (1a, 1b) converge, and a number of holding devices (4a, 4b) for holding a conveyed stream on the incoming conveyor segments (1a, 1b).
