  • Patent number: 12162688
    Abstract: A picking system for picking goods includes a goods acceptance zone, a goods transfer zone, a storage zone, a storage conveying device or devices, an order processing computer for registering a picking order and a removal conveying device or devices, wherein the storage conveying device or devices and/or the removal conveying device or devices have autonomous conveying vehicles for transporting the goods/ordered goods on a travel surface. The travel surface is subdivided into multiple travel surface segments, and driving movements are coordinated so that at least 90% of each of the driving movements in the travel surface segments is carried out by a closed group of autonomous conveying vehicles. Further, a method operates the picking system.

  • Patent number: 11912505
    Abstract: The invention relates to a picking system (1) for picking goods (2a, 2b), comprising a goods acceptance zone (A1), a goods transfer zone (D1, D2), a storage zone (B1 . . . B7), (a) storage conveying device(s) (3), an order processing computer for registering a picking order and (a) removal conveying device(s) (4), wherein the storage conveying device(s) (3) and/or the removal conveying device(s) (4) has/have a plurality of autonomous conveying vehicles (5a . . . 5l, 6a . . . 6h) for transporting the goods (2a, 2b)/ordered goods (2c) on a travel surface. The travel surface is subdivided into multiple travel surface segments (E1 . . . E8), and driving movements are co-ordinated so that at least 90% of each of the driving movements in the travel surface segments (E1 . . . E8) is carried out by a closed group of autonomous conveying vehicles (5a . . . 5l, 6a . . . 6h). The invention further relates to a method for operating the picking system (1).
