Abstract
The invention relates to a warehousing device, to a method for operating a warehousing device and to a computer-implemented method for a warehouse management system. In view of the increasing requirements relating to efficiency and sustainability, there is a great need to reduce the energy consumption of warehousing devices. The problem addressed by the present invention is therefore that of proposing a warehousing device and a method for operating a warehousing device, by means of which the energy consumption of warehousing processes can be reduced and the efficiency can be optimised. The invention further relates to a computer-implemented warehouse managing system which enables an optimisation of the energy consumption, including with the use of order data. This is achieved by the present invention in particular by a warehousing device which in particular comprises the following: - a device for detecting process variables for storing load carriers, - a device for calculating an energy consumption factor for a load carrier which results from the process variables for storing the load carrier, and - a control device for positioning the load carrier in the warehousing device according to the energy consumption factor.
