Abstract:
There is proposed a unit including a station for preparing orders, controlled by a control system. The station has a first circuit that includes a first outward conveyor, which receives containers for storing products, and an accumulator for accumulating a predetermined quantity of storage containers received on the first outward conveyor. The accumulator includes: at least one first shaft comprising superposed mobile positions that can each receive and downwardly move at least one storage container, the at least one first shaft vertically accumulating and sequentially dispensing storage containers previously placed in the positions; and at least one first elevator moving vertically along the at least one first chute up to each of the locations of the at least one first chute.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a stand-alone shuttle conveyor (10) intended, in particular, for a storage and logistics preparation warehouse, including a chassis (24) having the following elements mounted thereto, namely: wheels (26) enabling the shuttle conveyor (10) to move; a means (30) for driving the wheels (26); a means for powering the shuttle conveyor, comprising an exclusively electrostatic electrical energy storage means (32); and a means (48) for joining the recharge zones (18, 20) which are connected to a common fixed-voltage electrical power supply (22) in order to recharge the electrical power supply means. The invention is characterised in that the electrical power supply means include a first part for charging the electrical energy storage means (32) and a second part for delivering the energy to the drive means (30), said electrical energy storage means (32) being formed by at least one capacitor. The invention also relates to a storage warehouse (1) including one such shuttle conveyor.
Abstract:
The system uses a shrink film covering all the products (12) arranged inside a cardboard box (1) and holding these products against one another and also against the base (2) of the box. At least two heat-shrinkable sheets (9, 10) are attached, by one of their edges, in the region of the join between the base (2) of the box and the sides (4) of the lateral band (3) of this box. An additional heat-shrinkable sheet (14), supplied at the upper level of the lateral band (3) or of the products (12), is joined by welding to the previous sheets (9, 10) in order to form a single film that is shrunk over the products (12). A heat-protection sheet (13) may be inserted between this film and the products (12). The invention applies to packaging for the preparation and dispatch of product orders.
Abstract:
Processing a list of customer orders with a control system and a preparing station, which includes a picking position, an insertion position and local recirculation. The control system: selects a reference in the greatest number of order lines of the list; determines a set E of all the NE orders each containing an order line containing the selected reference; creates a group G of N orders that are the NE orders, if NE≤Nmax with Nmax being a predetermined threshold, or the Nmax first orders of the NE orders sorted according to decreasing order of priority, if NE>Nmax; builds a list LC of the K order lines in the N orders of the group G; and controls the system to bring source loads to the picking position and ship loads to the insertion position and to make the shipping loads recirculate to the insertion position, according to the list LC.
Abstract:
An automatic locker device is configured for handling loads with operations of loading and retrieval. The device includes at least one storage zone for storing loads, at least one retrieval point and a handling mechanism, which is configured to move the loads from the at least one storage zone to the at least one retrieval point, for the retrieval operations. The automatic locker device also includes at least one buffer zone, distinct from the at least one storage zone. The handling mechanism is configured to move the loads from the at least one buffer zone to the at least one storage zone, for the loading operations.
Abstract:
A method for sequencing loads in an automated load-distribution system having k sources with k≥2; at least one destination; k FIFO-type source buffer devices, each receiving loads from one of the k sources; a collector collecting the loads coming from the k source buffer devices and transporting them to the at least one destination. The collector has k successive nodes each collecting the loads coming from one of the source buffer devices. The control system processes customer orders listing loads for a given destination and being associated with a sequential order number of destination. The control system: builds a collection list containing n loads to be collected and reducing a disorder of the n loads relative to a rising order of the sequential order numbers of destination; and controlling the collector and the source buffer devices to collect loads on the collector in compliance with the collection list.
Abstract:
Method for merging, within a logistical warehouse, k incoming flows of payloads, transported respectively by k FIFO conveyor lanes ai with i∈{1, . . . , k} into one outgoing flow of payloads transported by a collector conveyor. The k lanes are distributed along the collector and numbered a1 to ak. Δi is a time-related distance between the lanes a1 and ak. A control system obtains a set L having n payloads distributed on the k lanes and having to be injected into the collector to form an exit sequence; computes a date t0 at which the first payload σ1 of the exit sequence σ passes in front of the lane ak; and computes n dates of injection of the n payloads into the collector, as a function of t0; and commands the collector and the k alleys, for an injection of the n payloads into the collector in compliance with the injection dates.
Abstract:
An automatic locker device configured for a distribution of goods includes at least one storage area for the storage of loads including or formed by the goods, at least one retrieval point for the retrieval of the goods, and a handling device. The retrieval point includes a box having faces that are closed except for one open lateral face, having a first aperture oriented towards the exterior of the device, and an open lower face having a second aperture. The handling device is configured to shift one of the loads from the storage area towards the retrieval point and the vertically shift the load towards or through the second aperture of the open lower face, up to a height making it possible, through the first aperture of the open lateral face, to make available at least one of the goods included in or forming said load.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a system adapted for printing and for consecutively placing in boxes moving on a conveyor, documents of the slip type (11) in correspondence with the boxes and with the products to be received therein. The system (6) comprises, at the outlet (12) of a printer (5) supplying documents (11) in the form of one or more printed sheets for each box, advance and storage means (13, 14) with a succession of locations (19,20,21,22) for receiving the sheets, between which the documents (11) advance step by step. Means (27, 28) for transferring the documents (11) to the boxes are provided at the last location (22). The advance and storage means (13, 14) define a flat U-shaped path. The system is intended for order preparation lines.
