  • Patent number: 11014746
    Abstract: Method for controlling picking of mixed products on a target pallet comprising the steps: —Generation of a packing pattern by means of a packing pattern generator in dependence on the picking commission, —providing the products on infeed conveyors, —taking the products from the infeed conveyors by means of a grab head or the like in a predetermined sequence according to the packing pattern, —placing the respective products in several product towers on a loading plate, wherein the towers are built approximately parallel to each other and are spaced from each other, wherein the area occupied by the towers on the loading plate is larger than the loading surface of a target pallet, —pushing the towers together to the dimensions of the target pallet, —transferring the pushed together product towers to the target pallet and —discharging the picking pallet thus created.
