Method and picking device for storing a plurality of identical piece goods

A picking device for piece goods, comprising:

• at least one rack row having at least one rack with a plurality of shelves disposed vertically one above the other;
• at least one storage device for receiving piece goods to be stored;
• a control unit;
• an operator unit coupled to the control unit, the operator unit comprising:
• a support table configured to receive one or more piece goods, the support table having an end-face edge;
• and
• at least one gripping apparatus configured to grasp piece goods in a removal area of the at least one storage device and move the grasped piece goods from the storage device, over the end-face edge, onto the support table;
• and
• at least one sensor system coupled to the control unit, the sensor system configured to detect piece goods data and transmit the detected piece goods data to the control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to determine the number of piece goods moved onto the support table based on size data of the piece goods to be stored, a movement speed of the gripping apparatus or the particular instantaneous position of a motor of the gripping apparatus, and the piece goods data or a corresponding signal.
