Sorting device

a system (100) for storing and organizing materials, comprising:

• a storage area,
• with a plurality of levels, each comprising multiple storage locations (110) that are preferably arranged in rows in at least one horizontal direction, preferably two horizontal directions perpendicular to each other, and serve to accommodate boxes (101) in stacks as storage locations for the materials,
• at least one transport device (130), which has a receiving area (131) for individual boxes (101) or a stack of boxes (101),
• a transport system, in particular a rail arrangement, along which the at least one transport device (130) is movable from and/or to and/or within the storage system(s) (100) and is provided to be movable to individual boxes or stacks of boxes in the storage system (100) for their pickup, and
• a resorting device (310/320), in particular according to claim 7 with
• a loading area (310), which is designed to take over a transport device (130) with or without box(es) (101) from the storage system (100), in particular via the transport system,
• at least one first gripper (320) and one second gripper (320), which are designed to independently pick up and hold at least one, preferably at least two, particularly preferably any number/subset of boxes from a stack of boxes from the transport device (130) in the loading area (310), and are further designed to return the respectively picked up box(es) (101) to the transport device (130) located in the loading area (310) or another transport device (130) in the loading area (310),
• a movable deposit device, which is provided in the loading area (310) or as part of it and is vertically movable to be accessible to the first and second gripper (320), and
• that the first and second gripper (320) are movably mounted, preferably horizontally, between a retracted holding position, in which the at least one box can be temporarily stored on one of the grippers (320), and a pickup position presented to the deposit device, for picking up and depositing at least one box (101) from/to the deposit device.
