  • Patent number: 12570466
    Abstract: A storage and retrieval system for a high-bay warehouse comprising a superordinate control computer having a communication module and at least two self-driving gangway vehicles which are non-mechanically interlinked to each other. A control apparatus with a communication apparatus, of which at least one of the communication apparatuses is formed to bidirectionally communicate with the communication module of the superordinate control computer. The control apparatus of the gangway vehicles prompts a drive apparatus of the gangway vehicles to drive into or drive out of warehouse gangways the high-bay warehouse. A measurement of the path covered by the respective gangway vehicle is carried out by a path measurement apparatus that is in a communication connection with the control apparatus. The control apparatus of the gangway vehicles is designed to prompt a lifting apparatus of the gangway vehicles to adjust a load receiver between a raised and a lowered position.

  • Publication number: 20230406634
    Abstract: A storage and retrieval system for a high-bay warehouse comprising at least two self-propelling shuttle vehicles, which comprise a lifting device and are set up to move into and out of storage channels of the high-bay warehouse in order to deliver a loading unit to a storage space of the high-bay warehouse or to pick up a loading unit from a storage space. A transport platform in a rack aisle of the high-bay warehouse which is self-propelled or carried in a direction of travel, which is set up to receive at least two of the shuttle vehicles in a row oriented perpendicularly with respect to the direction of travel arranged one behind the other. A first shuttle vehicle is set up to lift, transport and set down a loading unit completely automatically, and wherein the first shuttle vehicle and a second shuttle vehicle are set up only at a distance from one another to lift, synchronously transport and set down part of a joint loading unit.
