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: Herein, a picking system and method for picking articles into order containers is disclosed, the system having a picking station which includes in at least one picking bucket, wherein first conveying means are arranged such that articles to be picked, which are picked via the picking buckets directly onto the first conveying means, can be conveyed into an order container associated with a picking order.

Abstract: A picking station for picking articles out of storage containers by a picking person, the picking station being connected to a conveying system which has a conveying track leading through a working area of the picking person, at least for the inward transport of storage containers, wherein the conveying track is tilted about its longitudinal axis in the direction of the picking person, at least in the working area of the picking person.

Abstract: A connecting unit for loose ends of a traction device includes a body having a traction device passage to receive the ends of the traction device and a clamping device positioned in the traction device passage. The traction device passage has a first opening into which the ends of the traction device can be inserted. The clamping device is adapted to receive the ends of the traction device and has an adjustment mechanism which biases the clamping device in a direction of a wall of the traction device passage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for order picking different types of goods and respectively different product batches, according to which the goods are respectively stacked in an unmixed manner in output devices, removed from the output devices according to a order-picking order, and transported to a output point. The goods are removed from the output device from one end of the stack, and supplied to the output device at the other end of the stack. According to the invention, in the event of a change in the production batch of the goods along the stack, the first product of the new production batch is provided with a signal emitter that co-operates with a reading device arranged along the transport path, between the output device and the output point. If the signal emitter is detected by means of the reading device, the corresponding order-picking order preferably is supplied to a checkpoint.
