    Abstract: A method for managing a buffer storage and load sequencing system, receiving non-sequenced loads, providing a sequence of loads, and including a buffer storage unit (having entrance levels, at least one recirculation level, and an entrance elevator facing entrances and an exit elevator facing exits of the levels. A management unit iteratively manages the entrance elevator by, at each iteration (even if there are loads to be recirculated in the system): selecting a load at exit from an entrance conveyor or at exit from the recirculation level; if the selection of one of the entrance levels is completed, generating a task for the entrance elevator of transferring the selected load to the entrance of the selected level; if not, selecting a level of loads to be recirculated and assigning the load(s) on this level a “load(s) to be recirculated” status without generating a task of transfer for the entrance elevator.

    Abstract: A method for managing a buffer storage and load sequencing system. The system receives non-sequenced loads and provides at least one sequence of loads, and includes a buffer storage unit having entrance levels, at least one recirculation level, an entrance elevator facing entrances and an exit elevator facing exits of the levels. A management unit iteratively manages the entrance elevator. At each iteration the entrance elevator: has a “waiting for recirculation” status for a load to be recirculated in the system; holds this elevator until the load to be recirculated has been transferred to the recirculation level, else selects a load at exit from an entrance conveyor or at exit from the recirculation level; if the selection of the entrance level is completed, generates a task, for the entrance elevator, of transferring the selected load to the selected level; if not assigns this load the “awaiting recirculation” status.

    Abstract: A method of sequencing loads in an automated distribution system having sources, at least one destination, a collector having successive nodes, and a control system to process customer orders. The method includes, for an analyzed node, injection including, to decide whether a load C having a sequential order number of destination for a given destination can be injected into the collector: creating, among the loads to be collected by at least one node downstream to the analyzed node, a list LI1 of loads having an order number of destination lower than the given order number of destination and a list LI2 of loads that are interposed between a load of the list LI1 and the collector; determining whether “the list LI1 is empty” and/or “the list LI1 is not empty and the list LI2 is empty”; if one of the two conditions is verified, then injection of the load C.

    Abstract: A method is provided for preparing instructions that each list unit loads. The method includes: obtaining unit loads; inputting the unit 11 loads into a sorting system under the supervision of a control system; sorting the unit loads using a sorting system in accordance with the instructions from and under the supervision of the control system; and, for each instruction, providing, via the sorting system, unit loads listed in the instruction. The step of obtaining unit loads is followed by forming logistical units, each including one or more unit loads, on the basis of the instructions from and under the supervision of the control system. The inputting, sorting, and providing steps are carried out by handling the logistical units obtained.

    Abstract: An automated storage/retrieval system is proposed. The system includes a control system, at least one storage unit having several levels at which loads can be picked or deposited and at least one interface conveyor for entries/exits of loads into and out of the system, and at least one elevator for a transfer of loads between said at least interface conveyor and the at least one storage unit. The at least one elevator is a multi-level elevator, and the automated storage/retrieval system furthermore includes at least one multi-level transfer device capable of simultaneously receiving, on several levels, a set of loads intended for or coming from at least one elevator; and at least one sequencer provided with elements of vertical moving and capable of transferring loads between the at least one multi-level transfer device and the at least one interface conveyor.
