Embodiment Construction

[0078] According to FIG. 1 , products are accommodated and / or stored in the warehouse in individual storage areas 1 present in a shelf 3 or in a specific storage location, each product designated as product 2 . Each product 2 may be formed from individually packaged products 4 or goods 4 arranged in multiple layers in boxes 5 or shipping containers 6, while each box 5 or shipping container 6 is within the scope of the invention A product 2 is formed.

[0079] A vehicle 8 equipped with a computing unit 7 is displaceable between the storage areas 1 of the rack or shelf 3, which vehicle 8 is present via a separate drive 9 (see FIG. 25 ). The vehicle 8 is electrically propellable, having a battery or accumulator serving as a power bank. Once the voltage level drops below a predetermined minimum level, the vehicle 8 can automatically drive to a battery replacement or refill station. Alternatively or additionally, other energy sources may also be used, such as fuel cells or solar ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for transporting goods (2) by means of at least one vehicle that can be autonomously displaced in a store. Said method is characterised by a combination of the following elements: a vehicle (8) provided with a computing unit (7) receives, preferably by radio, at least one instruction relating to a) a product (2) to be fetched or delivered, and / or b) a target location e.g. a storage area (1) in the store, and / or c) a path to be covered. According to the invention, the computing unit (7) of the vehicle (8) establishes the target location and optimum or approximately optimum route for the instruction a), and the optimum or approximately optimum route for the instruction b), and starts the displacement transaction for the instructions a) or b) or c). The vehicle (8) is activated by the computing unit (7) at the target location, in such a way as to automatically receive or deliver the product (2) or to load or unload the same, whereupon optionally, if another instruction is provided, another product (2) is fetched or the loaded product is guided to another target location defined in an instruction relating to a), b) and / or c).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for transporting goods and a device for carrying out said method, the method comprising at least one vehicle freely displaceable in a warehouse. Background technique [0002] The current state of the art in warehouse and product logistics is to use manual trolleys, or container or box transporters, for the transport process in the box and container area within the warehouse, but not for pallets. [0003] Both have serious drawbacks. The use of manual trolleys means a high use of human resources, while the technology of the transport equipment requires a large investment, especially when the warehouse has a large number and variety of goods (weight, size, possibility of breakage, etc.) to be handled. [0004] German Patent No. 10142395A1 describes a warehouse and transport system of modular construction with one or several shelf units for receiving stored goods in several shelf planes, and Lots of track paths. Severa...
