Abstract: A method and a device for transferring piece good (S, Sv, Sn) accurate in phase, delivered by a delivery device along a conveying direction (x) and the respective functional length (Lf) and a moment of delivery (t1) of the respective piece good (S, Sv, Sn) being detected at or upstream of a transfer section of the delivery device. The delivered piece good (S, Sv, Sn) is transferred from the transfer section of the delivery device accurately in cycle to a distancing device, which includes distancing conveyors along the conveying direction (x). The speed of each of the distancing conveyors is individually controlled by a transfer section of the distancing device for the transfer of the piece good (S) accurate in phase. The respective piece good (S, Sv, Sn) is transferred from the transfer section of the spacing conveyor to a discharge device accurate in phase.

Abstract: A method for operating an order-picking system (100) is described, comprising: providing goods gathered in batches in a batch buffer (1), batch-wise sorting of the goods in a matrix sorter (2), the goods in the order-picking system (100) being conveyed by a multiplicity of transport units which have in each case a receiving unit for receiving the goods and the transport units in the matrix sorter (2) are conveyed at least in sections by a matrix conveyor (22), wherein a control unit (7?) dynamically controls the conveying speed of the matrix conveyor (22) in such a manner that the conveying speed is dependent on at least one parameter of the conveyed transport units and/or goods.

Abstract: An order-picking installation for the order picking of items, in particular items transported in a hanging state, includes at least one supply station having a plurality of parallel supply locations, by which the items to be picked are supplied into the order-picking installation, and at least one dispatch station having a plurality of parallel dispatch locations, by which the picked items are discharged for dispatch, wherein at least one interim store is provided, for the order picking of the items, between the supply station and the dispatch station. The interim store includes a dynamic store for the interim storage of the items provided for order picking as well as a retrieval store, arranged downstream of the dynamic store, and intended for storing items which have been removed from the dynamic store and pre-sorted in the process, the dynamic store and the retrieval store arranged within a common circulatory conveyor.

Abstract: A buffer storage device (100) for an overhead conveyor system (10) having individually conveyable transport units (40), with a closed conveying path that includes a buffer section (117) along which transport units are conveyable downstream, a feed section (104) for feeding transport units to a feed point (102) of the buffer section, a discharge section (105) for discharging transport units from a discharge point (103) of the buffer section, and one or more additional bypass sections (113) which in each case connect a starting point along the buffer section to a destination point along the buffer section.

Abstract: A transport pocket for the suspended transport of a transport item along a conveying direction via a suspended conveying device includes a pocket rear wall and a pouch wall that, together with the pocket rear wall, form a receiving compartment for the transport item. The receiving compartment forms a receiving opening for the transport item and is designed to assume an open position and a space-saving compact position. A fastener connects the transport pocket to a conveying member of the suspended conveying device. A cam element, which can interact with an activation device of the suspended conveying device, which is designed as a cam guide, and via which cam guide the receiving compartment can be moved into the open position or be held in this. The at least one cam element is arranged on the pouch wall of the transport pocket.

Abstract: An appliance for charging transport pockets with a transport item includes a feed device that feeds the transport item into a transfer zone and a suspended conveying device with a plurality of transport pockets that are arranged one after the other for taking over the transport item in the transfer zone and conveying away the charged transport pockets. The transport pockets each form a receiving compartment for the transport item, and are connected to a conveying member of the suspended conveying device. The transport pockets are moved through the transfer zone in a lying formation in a transfer conveying direction, and the transport item, by way of the feed device, is conveyed into the transfer zone essentially in the transfer conveying direction of the transport pockets, and in a delivery region is delivered from above onto the transport pockets which are moved through the transfer zone below the feed device.

Abstract: A filling system and filling device for introducing items for delivery into a delivery bag. The filling device has a stacking mechanism that stacks the items for delivery in the delivery bag. The items for delivery include one or more flat articles, and can include an enclosure unit that is flat, at least partially open on at least one side, and at least partially closed on at least one side, such that the enclosure unit forms an envelope or a pocket. The item for delivery and/or the enclosure unit can have a receiver identification.
