Method for transferring an item to be transported from an end position of a flow storage system to a removal device

A storage system with at least one flow storage system (1) for storing items to be transported (10;

• 11;
• 12) and at least one removal device (20) for receiving at least one item to be transported (10;
• 11;
• 12) that is stored in an end portion (2) of the flow storage system (1), with:
• an end stop (1), which can be arranged in an arresting position, in which it holds back at least a first item to be transported (10) on the end portion (2), and/or
• a separator (5), which can be arranged in an arresting position, in which it holds back at least a second item to be transported (11) on a retaining portion (3) of the flow storage system (1);
• and
• at least one sensor (21) of the removal device (20), while the removal device is in a removal position, the sensor capable of checking whether the end stop (4) and/or the separator (5) is arranged in its respective arresting position;
• wherein the removal device (20) in its removal position can be arranged adjacent to the end portion (2) of the flow storage system (1) in such a way that the first item to be transported (10) can be transferred from the end portion (2) to the removal device (20).

The use of a sensor (21), arranged on a removal device (20), for checking whether an end stop (4) of a flow storage system (1) and/or a separator (5) of a flow storage system (1) is arranged in its respective arresting position when the removal device (20) in its removal position is arranged adjacent to an end portion (2) of the flow storage system (1), wherein

• the end stop (4) is arranged in its arresting position, in which it holds back at least a first item to be transported (10) on an end portion (2) of the flow storage system (1) and/or
• the separator (5) is arranged in its arresting position, in which it holds back at least a second item to be transported (11) on a retaining portion (3) of the flow storage system (1);
• and
• the first item to be transported (10) can be transferred from the end portion (2) of the flow storage system (1) to the removal device (20) located in its removal position.
