Abstract
A modular storage and commissioning system includes a storage arrangement, a commissioning unit and a conveyor system. The storage arrangement has a lower and an upper storage unit which are based on a self-supporting frame structure. The conveyor system is detachably connected to the storage units. The self-supporting frame structures of the storage units support the storage units themselves as well as at least the weight of a further storage unit. The upper storage unit is detachably arranged on top of the lower storage unit. Further, a method assembles the modular storage and commissioning system and a method disassembles the modular storage and commissioning system.
Claims20
A modular storage and commissioning system comprising:
- a storage arrangement for receiving storage containers comprising goods;
- a commissioning unit with a least one serving station for removing goods from one or more storage containers;
- and
- a conveyor system for conveying storage containers between the storage arrangement and the commissioning unit wherein the storage arrangement comprises a lower storage unit and an upper storage unit each storage unit being based on a self-supporting frame structure, wherein the conveyor system is detachably connected to the self-supporting frame structures of the lower storage unit and the upper storage unit, wherein the self-supporting frame structure of the lower storage unit is adapted for supporting the upper storage unit and wherein the upper storage unit is detachably arranged on top of the lower storage unit.
A method for assembling a modular storage and commissioning system, the method comprising the steps of:
- detachably arranging an upper storage unit on top of a lower storage unit to form a storage arrangement for receiving storage containers comprising goods, wherein each storage unit is based on a self-supporting frame structure and wherein the self-supporting frame structure of the lower storage unit is adapted for supporting the upper storage unit;
- and
- releasably connecting a commissioning unit and a conveyor system to the storage arrangement, wherein the commissioning unit comprises a least one serving station for removing goods from one or more storage containers, wherein the conveyor system conveys storage containers between the storage arrangement and the commissioning unit, and wherein the conveyor system is detachably connected to the self-supporting frame structures of the lower storage unit and the upper storage unit.
