Abstract

A method, system and computer program for preparing orders of goods stored in storage containers in an automated storage and retrieval system. Ordered goods are prepared and delivered to a pick-up point when the ordered goods can be picked up. This optimizes the use of storage capabilities of the automated storage and retrieval system and minimizes the need temporal storage space at a pick-up point.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method, a control system and a computer program for preparing an order for goods stored in a storage container in an automatic storage and retrieval system. The ordered goods are prepared and delivered to the pickup point when the ordered goods can be picked up. This optimizes the use of the storage capacity of the automated storage and retrieval system and minimizes the temporary storage space required at the pickup point. Background technique [0002] Different kinds of storage and retrieval systems exist in which goods are stored until they are retrieved and transferred to another location. In automated storage systems, goods of the same type are usually stored in the same storage container or box. [0003] Orders often specify different kinds of goods. When an order including different kinds of goods is received, the goods are picked and collected from different storage containers. Order picking can be performed autom...
