    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for storing product items (80) in storage bins (2) in a storage system (3) comprising a bin storing grid (15) in which storage bins (2) are stored above each other in columns (8). The method comprises transporting the storage bin (2) between the bin storing grid (15) and a port (60) by means of a vehicle (1) and a bin lift device (4) provided on each vehicle (1). The method comprises determining a weight (w) for each storage bin (2) after one or more product items (80) have been inserted to or retrieved from the storage bin (2). The method comprises determining a storage position (p) for the storage bin (2) in the bin storing grid (15) based on the weight (w). The present invention also relates to a storage system (3) for storing product items (80) in storage bins (2).
