Abstract:
Ein Lagersystem enthaltend ein Lager (10), in welchem eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Produkten (22, 24, 26) lagerbar ist, wobei jedes der Produkte (22, 24, 26) mit einem Radio Frequenzy Identification (RFID) - Transponder versehen ist, und eine Antenne (28) zur Identifizierung der Produkte (22, 24, 26) mittels des RFID -Transponders, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass jeder Lagerort mit einer RFID - Antenne versehen ist und die Produktlage und/oder Produktkennung durch diese Antenne erfassbar ist. Die mit einem RFID -Transponder vers ehenen Produkte können von Racks zur Aufnahme von Probenbehältern mit einer Probenkennung gebildet sein, und die Lage und Probenkennung können in dem RFID -Transponder des zugehörigen Racks speicherbar ist. Jeder Probenbehälter ist mit einem RFID - Transponder zum Speichern der jeweiligen Probenkennung versehen. Eine zu der räumlichen Anordnung der Probenbehälter - Aufnahmen korrespondierende Antennenanordnung dient zum Auslesen der zu den Probenbehältern gehörigen, in den RFID -Transpondern gespeicherten Probenkennung.
Abstract:
Ein Mehrwegbehälter für den Warenumschlag und für die Lokalisierung und/oder Kennung in einem Mehrwegbehälter-Umlaufsystem, in welchem der Behälter (1) zwischen verschiedenen Stationen, wie Ausgabestation des Umlaufsystems, Produktionsstätten, Lieferanten, Händler, Verkaufsstätten, Lager- und Reinigungsstationen und dergleichen zirkuliert wird, wobei der Behälter mit einem Kennungsmittel versehen ist, welches spezifische Informationen zur Identifizierung und Lokalisierung des Behälters und/oder des Behälterinhalts enthält, die durch Kennungsleseeinrichtung abfragbar sind, wobei die abgefragten Daten zentral und/oder dezentral gesammelt und ausgewertet werden, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Kennungsmittel durch einen am Behälter (1) anordbaren Träger mit spezifischen, den Behälter individualisierten Farbcode gebildet ist.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for organising the flow of goods for a stock consisting of heterogeneous units arranged closely on top of and beside one another in stacked standardised parallelepiped-shaped containers (1) which are joined into several co-ordinate-forming layers of containers in a vertical framework (6). With one or more computer-controlled lifting devices (5) with a gripping device (3) each individual container is lifted mechanically up and out of the stack for manual replenishment or a manual packing station (7). After dispatch the container (1) is returned to a new random, but continuously known position. The random and continuous alteration of location compels the statistically most frequently sold goods to be located in containers which have recently been returned to the upper layer of the stack, while those goods which statistically are seldom sold over a period of time will be located in containers in the lower layers of the stack.
Abstract:
On the initiation of a program control in order to meet a requirement, a small-part container (6) has to be removed from a store (7). A gripping unit of the loading and unloading installation (10) and the store (7) are moved in relation to one another, so that the gripping unit is led to the location of the small-part container (6). The container is removed and placed in a preparation position, after which it is brought by a transport installation (9a) to the removal opening (8) in the component assembly table (5). The return is effected by another transport installation (9b). The small-part container (6) can be brought to any desired empty location. Its position is stored by the program control in order to ensure that it can be relocated. The provision of a buffer unit composed of several small-component containers (6) in the region of the transport arrangement ensures continuity and speed in the work process.
Abstract:
A process includes hydrogenating, in a reaction zone, a highly unsaturated hydrocarbon received from a hydrocarbon stream to yield a product having an unsaturated hydrocarbon, the hydrogenating step occurring in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst which has a selectivity for conversion of the highly unsaturated hydrocarbon to the unsaturated hydrocarbon of about 90 mol% or greater based on the moles of the highly unsaturated hydrocarbon which are converted to the product, the hydrogenating step occurring in a reaction zone under conditions which include a flow index (I F ) in a range of about 0.09 to about 35, wherein the I F is defined as: Formula (1), wherein F is the flow rate of the hydrocarbon stream into the reaction zone in units of kg/h, [CO] is the concentration of carbon monoxide in the hydrocarbon stream in units of mol%, and V is the volume of the reaction zone in units of ft 3 .
Abstract:
An automatic feeding system for preparing at least one feed ration from a plurality of feed types, the system comprising • - a feed kitchen with multiple feed storage places for storing a plurality of feed types, • - a feed distributing device for receiving feed from the feed kitchen, • - a feed loading device to load feed from each of the feed storage places into the feed distributing device and • - a control system to control the automatic feeding system, comprising a graphical user interface with a display screen, a floor plan comprising first representations of each of the feed storage places which representations are formed based on at least the feed storage location data and second representations of the feed types
Abstract:
An inventory system has inventory pods that are freely and independently moved about a facility and include inventory holders having dynamically reconfigurable storage bins. For various operating scenarios, the components of the inventory system are directed to dynamically reconfigure the storage bins, thereby maintaining efficient product density amongst the inventory holders and permitting the use of automated equipment to manipulate inventory items stored in the inventory pods. One or more inventory pods may be used with lifting modules and picking modules to dynamically reconfigure the storage bins as inventory items are added to and removed from the inventory holders.
