Abstract: A method and device for order picking in a warehouse with an independently freely movable transport vehicle is disclosed. The device includes a vehicle housing having a carrier plate adapted for accommodating and transporting a load rack having transportable goods, a robot adapted for grasping goods, a transverse link connecting drive wheels, which are in each case by way of an angular lever pivotable about a rotation axis, such that the drive wheels are configured to execute mutually independent vertical motions, a centrally arranged actuating element for moving two front lifting rods and two rear lifting rods with a lifting rotary lever and a push rod connected to the lifting lever in order to raise or lower the carrier plate, and a 3-D scanner, light field sensor, and WLAN antenna.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for order picking in warehouses largely by machine, by means of independently freely movable transport vehicles, comprising the following features: a) a vehicle housing having a carrier plate for accommodating and transporting a load rack with transport goods, wherein the carrier plate carries a load rack with a light robot having means for grasping goods, b) a transverse link, which connects the drive wheels, which can each be pivoted about the axis of rotation by means of an angle lever, in such a way that the drive wheels can perform vertical motions that are independent of each other, c) a centrally arranged actuating element, which can move two front lifting rods and two rear lifting rods by means of a lifting rotary lever and a push rod connected to the lifting lever in order to raise or lower the carrier plate, and d) at least one 3-D scanner and at least one light field sensor, and at least one WLAN antenna in the front region of the vehicle housing.
