Abstract
A method is for picking goods assigned to different orders using a picking system with an automated guided vehicle and a goods receiving device rotatably mounted thereon for receiving goods in order-specific goods sectors. The method includes providing the first good to be picked, assigned to a first order, at a first transfer position, picking up the first good at the first transfer position by an order picker, positioning the picking system near the order picker, and rotating the goods receiving device relative to the automated guided vehicle in such a way that a first goods sector of the goods receiving device assigned to the first order faces the order picker.
