Abstract: An automated system for preparing parcels of products has a storage assembly housing product containers; a pick station; a main conveyor which conveys the product container between the inlet/outlet of the storage assembly and the pick station; and a central management computer system which manages the product order list associated with each parcel. The main conveyor arranges the containers according to an order list, using a first conveyor belt section, a second conveyor belt section adjacent to the pick station and a buffer zone between the outlet of the storage assembly and the first belt section. The containers are moved between the belt sections by transfer members in transfer zones.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stand-alone shuttle conveyor (10) intended, in particular, for a storage and logistics preparation warehouse, including a chassis (24) having the following elements mounted thereto, namely: wheels (26) enabling the shuttle conveyor (10) to move; a means (30) for driving the wheels (26); a means for powering the shuttle conveyor, comprising an exclusively electrostatic electrical energy storage means (32); and a means (48) for joining the recharge zones (18, 20) which are connected to a common fixed-voltage electrical power supply (22) in order to recharge the electrical power supply means. The invention is characterised in that the electrical power supply means include a first part for charging the electrical energy storage means (32) and a second part for delivering the energy to the drive means (30), said electrical energy storage means (32) being formed by at least one capacitor. The invention also relates to a storage warehouse (1) including one such shuttle conveyor.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automated system (1) for preparing parcels (100) of products, comprising: a storage assembly (2) housing product containers (7); a pick station (11); a main conveyor (12) which conveys the product container (7) between the inlet/outlet of the storage assembly (2) and the pick station (11); and a central management computer system (13) which manages the product order list associated with each parcel, said main conveyor (12) including means for arranging the containers (7) according to the order list, which means, in turn, comprise a first conveyor belt section (14), a second conveyor belt section (17) adjacent to the pick station (11) and a buffer zone between the outlet of the storage assembly (2) and the first belt section (14). The containers (7) are moved between the belt sections (14, 17) by transfer members in transfer zones (18, 181).
