Abstract
The invention relates to a commissioning area (10) comprising a buffer (12) for order containers (14) in which items can be commissioned, said buffer (12) comprising a plurality of adjacent buffer regions for respectively receiving an order container (14). According to the invention, a beam field (16) is provided above the buffer (12) in order to monitor the commissioning of items (28).
Claims22
An order-picking station for picking articles into order containers, comprising a buffer for said buffering order containers into which articles are to be picked, said buffer including at least one buffer space for respectively receiving one order container, wherein above said buffer a field of beams is provided for monitoring the picking of said articles.
A method for order-picking, at a picking station for picking articles into order containers, said order picking station comprising a buffer for buffering said order containers into which articles are to be picked, said buffer including at least one buffer space for respectively receiving one order container, wherein above said buffer a field of beams is provided for monitoring the picking of said articles, of articles into said order containers storable within said buffer, comprising the steps:
- generating said field of beams above said buffer;
- detecting an interruption signal which is generated by an interruption of said field of beams;
- and
- outputting a first enabling signal for allowing retrieval of said order container from said buffer.
An order-picking system having a picking station for picking articles into order containers, said order picking station comprising a buffer for buffering said order containers into which articles are to be picked, said buffer including at least one buffer space for respectively receiving one order container, wherein above said buffer a field of beams is provided for monitoring the picking of said articles, of articles into said order containers storable within said buffer.
