## Abstract

A storage system for monitoring logistics systems, comprises at least one storage area for stored goods and at least one detection arrangement that is assigned to the storage area for identifying the stored goods. The detection arrangement comprises at least one weight sensor and at least one further sensor for identifying the stored goods, wherein the weight sensor is linked to the further sensor and configured and arranged to trigger a recognition process by the further sensor in response to a change in the measured weight.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A storage system comprising:
at least one storage location configured and arranged for storing an item;
at least one detection arrangement is assigned to the at least one storage location and configured and arranged for identifying the item stored at the assigned storage location, the at least one detection arrangement including
at least one weight sensor; and
at least one further sensor configured and arranged for identifying the item, wherein the at least one weight sensor is communicatively coupled to the at least one further sensor, and the at least one weight sensor is configured and arranged to trigger a recognition process of the at least one further sensor in response to a change in the measured weight; and
an operatively separable interface arranged between the at least one detection arrangement and the at least one storage location, so that the at least one detection arrangement is further configured and arranged to be separated from the at least one storage location and is therefore mobile.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The storage system according to claim 1, characterized in that at least one further sensor is further configured and arranged to detect a further state variable of the item.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The storage system according to claim 1, characterized in that the at least one further sensor is further configured and arranged to operate in a rest state activated between the identifying and recognition processes.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The storage system according to claim 1, characterized in that the at least one further sensor is one of the following: an RFID sensor, a radio sensor, an optical sensor, in particular a barcode and QR code reader, and a magnetic sensor.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The storage system according to claim 1, characterized in that the at least one further sensor is further configured and arranged to carry out an identification of the item by reading an identification means attached to the item or a transport cover of the item.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The storage system according to claim 1, characterized in that the at least one detection arrangement is communicatively coupled to a warehouse center and is configured and arranged to exchange information therebetween.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The storage system according to claim 1, further including at least one light and/or acoustic source on the detection arrangement.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The storage system according to claim 6, characterized in that the light and/or acoustic source is configured and arranged to be activated in response to a localization signal from the warehouse center.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The storage system according to claim 1, characterized in that the at least one storage location is identifiable by the detection arrangement.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The storage system according to claim 1, further including a data memory assigned to the at least one detection arrangement.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The storage system according to claim 1, further including an energy storage device assigned to the at least one detection arrangement.

### Claim 12 (depends on 2)

The storage system of claim 2, wherein the at least one further sensor is further configured and arranged to operate in a rest state activated between the identifying and recognition processes.

### Claim 13 (depends on 3)

The storage system of claim 3, wherein the at least one further sensor is one of the following: an RFID sensor, a radio sensor, an optical sensor, in particular a barcode and QR code reader, and a magnetic sensor.

### Claim 14 (depends on 4)

The storage system of claim 4, wherein the at least one further sensor is further configured and arranged to carry out an identification of the item by reading an identification means attached to the item or a transport cover of the item.

### Claim 15 (depends on 5)

The storage system of claim 5, wherein the at least one detection arrangement is communicatively coupled to a warehouse center and is configured and arranged to exchange information therebetween.

### Claim 16 (depends on 6)

The storage system of claim 6, further including at least one light and/or acoustic source on the detection arrangement.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The storage system of claim 16, wherein the light and/or acoustic source is configured and arranged to be activated in response to a localization signal from the warehouse center.

### Claim 18 (depends on 8)

The storage system of claim 8, wherein characterized in that the at least one storage location is identifiable by the detection arrangement.

### Claim 19 (depends on 9)

The storage system of claim 9, further including a data memory assigned to the at least one detection arrangement.

### Claim 20 (depends on 10)

The storage system of claim 10, further including an energy storage device assigned to the at least one detection arrangement.
