  • Publication number: 20210047115
    Abstract: A robot system (2a . . . 2d) is specified, which comprises a robot (1a, 1b) having a movable robot head (4, 4a . . . 4c) with at least two suction grippers (5, 5a . . . 5c) spaced apart from one another and a sensor system (8a . . . 8c) for detecting a gripping surface pose and a gripping surface size of a gripping surface (24a . . . 24n) of a good (23a . . . 23n). With the aid of a controller (11), a gripping pose for the movable robot head (4, 4a . . . 4c), in which a maximum number of suction grippers (5, 5a . . . 5c) is in contact with the gripping surface (24a . . . 24n) of the good (23a . . . 23n), is calculated based on the determined gripping surface pose and gripping surface size. Then, the robot head (4, 4a . . . 4c) is moved into the calculated gripping pose where the suction grippers (5, 5a . . . 5c) are activated so as to collect the good (23a . . . 23n). Moreover, a method for operating the robot system (2a . . . 2d) is specified.

  • Publication number: 20210046646
    Abstract: A robot system (2a . . . 2d) is specified, which comprises a robot (1a, 1b) having a gripping unit (4) for collecting goods (23a . . . 23n) and a sensor system (8a . . . 8e) for detecting a loading space (27a . . . 27d) of a loading aid (9a . . . 9e) and the goods (23a . . . 23n) stored therein. After the collection of a good (23a . . . 23n), a check is conducted with the aid of a controller (11) on whether a good (23a . . . 23n) protrudes beyond the loading space (27a . . . 27d). If necessary, the good (23a . . . 23n) protruding beyond the loading space (27a . . . 27d) is collected and placed down at a different position, or the part of the good (23a . . . 23n) protruding beyond the loading space (27a . . . 27d) is moved into the loading space (27a . . . 27d). Moreover, a method for operating the robot system (2a . . . 2d) is specified.

  • Publication number: 20210024298
    Abstract: A picking station for picking goods has a source container conveyor for automated transporting of source containers, a target container conveyor for automated transporting of target containers and a fully automated robot system. The source container conveyor includes a first removal area, where a first source container is provisioned, and a second removal area, where a second source container is provisioned. The target container conveyor includes a first loading area, where a first target container is provisioned, and a second loading area, where a second target container is provisioned. The robot system includes a robot having a gripping unit configured to remove goods according to different orders from the first source container and/or second source container and place them into the first target container and/or second target container, and a sensor system for capturing the goods in the first and second source containers. A method automatically picks goods.

  • Publication number: 20120120844
    Abstract: A method is provided for enhanced communication efficiency within a mobile radio network cell of a cellular mobile radio network. The method includes: providing a base transceiver station and a plurality of mobile stations in the mobile radio network cell; transmitting a control message, from the base transceiver station to the plurality of mobile stations, the control message comprising modification information indicating that modified transmission conditions are to be applied during a predetermined time interval; and applying the modified transmission conditions to a transmission request received at the base transceiver station from a mobile station within the predetermined time interval, wherein the transmission request is a request to transmit non-real-time related traffic data to the mobile station.

  • Publication number: 20090313575
    Abstract: A user interface has a portal view with a first display region to display a first user selectable identifier representing a main function accomplishable within an engineering system. The portal view has a second display region to display a second user selectable identifier representing a subordinate function usable to accomplish the main function, the display of the second user selectable identifier being based on a first user selection of the first user selectable identifier. The portal view has an optional third display region to display a context-specific selection of project data, the display of the context-specific selection of the project data being based on a second user selection of the second user selectable identifier. The user interface has a project view with a fourth display region to display third user selectable identifiers. The portal view and the project view have a user selectable switching device for switching between the project view and the portal view.

  • Publication number: 20090265606
    Abstract: Project planning software is made available to a user within an automation environment. Table editors or grids are implemented therein. Some columns are logically linked to one another, which would preclude such columns being separated. Nevertheless, it is possible to separate columns within the course of moving or hiding them. The logic of the table editor is thus destroyed however. A “Twin Columns” feature is provided and columns which are logically linked to one another are defined as a unit. They are thus permanently coupled to one another and cannot be separated within the course of the processing of a table. The logic of the table editor is thus maintained.
