Abstract
A method for managing an order-picking station, at which a human or robotic operator places or removes articles in containers carried by automated guided vehicles travelling on a track of the station, including, with each change of operator at the station, the following cycle: sending a personalization request including an identifier of the operator from the station to a remote server; determining, by the remote server, the information for adjusting the height of the track to the operator; returning a personalization response including the adjustment information from the remote server to the station; and automatically adjusting the height of the track with respect to the floor by an internal mechanism of the station, on the basis of the adjustment information.

A method for managing an order-picking station, at which a human or robotic operator places or removes articles in containers carried by automated guided vehicles travelling on a track of the station, comprising, upon a change of configuration and/or operation at the station, the following cycle:
- determining, by a remote server also connected to several other order-picking stations, after the change in configuration and/or operation at the station, information for adjusting the height of the track to the change in configuration and/or operation at the station,
- returning the adjustment information from the remote server to the station,
- automatically adjusting the height of the track with respect to the floor by an internal mechanism of the station, on the basis of the adjustment information,
- the change of configuration and/or operation including a change of operator,
- the cycle also comprising, prior to the determining step, sending an identifier of the operator from the station to the remote server,
- the determining step being carried out by the remote server, on the basis of the identifier of the operator, and determining information for adjusting the height of the track to the operator.
