Abstract: An order-picking storage system for picking orders, in particular of articles in containers, includes at least one container store and at least one order-picking workplace. The containers are supplied from the container stores to at least one order-picking workplace and are provided there in straight-through channels and/or in variable-use stations in a plurality of removal positions. A conveying device transfers the containers supplied from the container store to each straight-through channel and/or variable-use station. The straight-through channels and/or variable-use stations and the order-picking workplace are arranged in the upper region of the container store. The storage system thus provides a time-saving and staff-saving order-picking storage system with a high utilization of space, and provides a compact, ergonomic and attractive workstation.
