Definitions
- the present invention relates to a goods shipping system, a method for passing on ordered goods from a goods provider to a goods recipient and a method for operating the goods shipping system, as in the preamble of claims 1, 25,
- a conventional, widespread form of the distribution of goods is a goods dispatch system used by so-called mail order companies, in which a goods recipient or customer selects individual goods from a catalog, orders them from a mail order company and then delivers the ordered goods to his address.
- This process of ordering individual goods in writing is very time-consuming and time-consuming and the individual goods can only be handed over to the customer personally.
- EP 0 590 646 B1 discloses a beverage terminal for the automatic dispensing of beverage crates, which has a separating device for a delivery terminal for the delivery of pallets loaded with beverage crates, a high rack, at least one high rack vehicle which serves to store the pallets in the high rack for separating the beverage crates, at least one sales warehouse, in which the individual beverage crates are stored, at least one beverage delivery point provided with a customer console, at least one customer conveyor for removing the crates from the sales warehouse and for transferring the crates to the beverage distribution point, an empties receiving point, one Contains empty goods and a palletizing device.
- a similar beverage terminal is also known from German utility model DE 94 03 105 Ul.
- a major disadvantage of these beverage terminals is above all that when beverage crates transported from a truck onto pallets are first depalletized and occasionally fed to a sales warehouse via a separating vehicle, so that on the one hand an additional depalletizing unit, which leads to an enlargement of the
- a sales device which has only a first intermediate storage for the individual goods and a second intermediate storage for assembled shopping baskets.
- the first interim storage facility has an input device for filling the same with individual goods and via a picking device with which the goods ordered by the customer, for example via the Internet or by telephone, are put together to form shopping baskets.
- the compiled shopping baskets are then conveyed from the first interim storage facility to the second interim storage facility via a transport system arranged in a fixed location between the first and second interim storage facilities and are stored there for the customer.
- the second interim storage facility is designed as a high-bay warehouse and the shopping baskets that have already been put together are brought to an output lock at the customer's desired time of removal via automatic loading and unloading systems.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a goods dispatch system and a procedure with which goods ordered from an intermediate store can be picked up regardless of the opening hours of the shop and low-maintenance, fully automatic operation in the intermediate store is to be achieved, as well as a continuous flow of information and goods within the goods dispatch system to accomplish.
- the goods dispatch system comprises a number of temporarily separate intermediate stores to be supplied with already assembled goods via transport vehicles, for example trucks, which are optionally connected to one another and with the goods provider and the goods recipient in a data-transferable manner and each of the intermediate stores is an independent and fully automatically self-managing, forms a compact unit, which consists of already optimized systems that are not only inexpensive to manufacture, but also, and this is of greater importance for the invention, characterized by low maintenance and high availability in their operation.
- the goods can be temporarily stored in the shelf compartment or from the shelf compartment on the supply or removal unit before they are stored or removed. This makes it possible to decouple the processing of the goods to be stored or removed from the shelf compartment from the possibly permanent supply or removal of goods and to avoid costly downtimes of the transport unit.
- the embodiment variant according to claim 8 is also advantageous, since the at least one goods to be returned, which the customer delivers to the takeover station or the takeover or output station, independently of the movement sequences of the transport unit, conveys directly to a buffer storage path arranged separately from the conveying unit and in this as long as this is temporarily stored until the transport unit has stored or removed all of the goods to be dispensed by the goods provider or goods recipient at the transfer station and requested by the goods provider or goods recipient. Only then are the goods stowed in the buffer storage track successively removed from the transport unit and each transferred to a free parking space in the shelf compartment. In this way, a high throughput of goods to be stored or removed can be achieved and the waiting time for the goods provider or goods recipient for the delivery or delivery of the goods can be reduced.
- Shelf compartments are an extremely flexible arrangement of the goods of different sizes and the created possibility of storing goods in several rows running one after the other creates a high volume utilization of the intermediate storage. It is thus possible, for example, for the goods to be placed in at least two rows running one behind the other, or for goods of particularly large dimensions to be stored.
- the adjustability of several shelves enables a variation of a compartment division between two stacked shelves, so that the compartment division is automatically adapted to the goods to be stored.
- a local network composed of the data transmission line with individual functional units connected to it, which is designed for the transmission of large amounts of data, is proposed, whereby a reliable and essentially maintenance-free operation of the interim storage facility with regard to data or signal transmission is possible.
- the registration or identification device enables a simple and user-guided sequence of communication between the intermediate storage, in particular the control and data processing device and the supplier or customer, after passing through an inquiry routine (input mask on a screen) the goods can be given or picked up.
- an inquiry routine input mask on a screen
- a clear assignment of the customer to a product is possible via the registration or identification device and the goods are exchanged at the highest security level.
- the embodiment according to claim 21 is also advantageous, as a result of which payment can preferably be made electronically or by cash.
- the embodiment according to claim 23 enables the formation of an intermediate storage which has a long service life and is weather-resistant and vandal-proof.
- a spatial dimension of the goods for controlling the distance or the shelf division between two stacked shelves of the rack system can be determined via measuring devices known from the prior art, measured values from the measuring device to the control and data processing device for calculation corresponding control signals are transmitted and the control device is acted upon by a control signal. This creates a flexible shelf warehouse.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by the features reproduced in the characterizing part of claim 25.
- the surprising advantage is that signals and data flowing together in at least one central remote control center are monitored or controlled, preferably stored, processed and logged, if necessary, from a large number of interim storage facilities, and remote diagnosis can be carried out in the event of malfunctions or deviations of the actual state from the target state quick and efficient troubleshooting or measures that require a decision, which must be made by manual intervention in the program sequence of the storage system for troubleshooting, and / or remote maintenance, such as renewing the control program for the Storage system.
- control or control device as described in claim 26, is also advantageous.
- further development according to claim 27 has proven to be advantageous since data exchange, for example the identification data and / or the removal authorization code and / or the access authorization identifier etc., can take place between the individual control and data processing devices of the plurality of intermediate stores, which means that within the Goods shipping system a highly flexible, dynamic goods distribution is possible.
- a large number of interim storage facilities can be connected to only one remote control center, as a result of which a high data transmission rate is achieved between each individual control and data processing device and the control or control device.
- the object of the invention is achieved by the features and measures in the characterizing part of claim 29.
- the advantage of this is that an ordered item can be picked up by the recipient of the goods at any time, that is, regardless of opening hours, at an interim storage facility selected by him, thereby achieving a very high level of user acceptance.
- the available parking spaces in the selected interim storage facility are determined and reserved, and the goods are only delivered after confirmation of the availability of free parking spaces, which results in repeated, costly Attempts to deliver at a busy intermediate storage can be avoided. It is also advantageous that the goods provider is informed of the actual removal of the goods by the goods recipient.
- the costs for the delivery of the goods can be considerably reduced, whereby the goods dispatch system according to the invention is also attractive for small deliveries.
- Unauthorized removal of the goods by unauthorized goods providers or goods recipients is effectively avoided by the input request or authenticity check, such as entering the removal authorization code and / or access authorization indicator on the registration or identification device. It is particularly advantageous that the method according to the invention is suitable for all ordering methods known from the prior art, for example by post, fax, telephone, e-mail,
- SMS or Internet can be used and a very high level of customer satisfaction can be achieved.
- Another advantage is that the transmission of the signals and control commands is carried out in digitized form, whereby transmission errors are avoided.
- the measure according to claim 30 is also advantageous since, when fully utilized, one Interim storage selected by the goods recipient, automatically by the control and data processing device of the selected interim storage facility or by the input or output device of the goods supplier, free parking spaces are determined in another intermediate storage location logistically convenient for the goods recipient and request the goods provider to place the goods in the specified one To deliver intermediate storage, whereby before the goods are delivered to the specified intermediate storage, the recipient of the goods must decide whether the goods should be delivered to the specified intermediate storage. If consent is given, the communication device of the goods recipient transmits a decision feedback signal to the control and data processing device of the selected interim storage facility and from there to the input or output device of the goods provider, and the at least one parking space is reserved for the goods.
- the goods provider can deliver the ordered goods to the specified interim storage facility and after the goods have been stored in the specified interim storage facility, a confirmation of receipt or readiness for delivery is transmitted to the communication device of the goods recipient.
- a multiplicity of the data-transmissively connected can be connected in a surprisingly simple manner
- Interim storage facilities are optimally utilized, which leads to a reduction in shipping costs. If, on the other hand, the goods are still to be delivered to the selected interim storage facility, the goods provider will only deliver the ordered goods after receiving an availability notification from the selected interim storage facility to the selected interim storage facility.
- a procedure according to claim 31 is also possible, the advantage which can be achieved thereby is that the recipient of the goods is known and there is no anonymous dispatch, which is particularly important for sensitive goods, for example chemicals or medications or the like is. Furthermore, there is the advantage that registered persons may also know bank details or the like, as a result of which very uncomplicated payment processing, for example by direct debit, can be carried out.
- the advantage is achieved that the removal authorization code is forwarded simultaneously with the determination of the identification data for the ordered goods and thus only a one-time data transmission between the goods provider and the intermediate store has to be carried out.
- the generation of a withdrawal authorization code is particularly important for unregistered persons that they cannot be identified or identified by name and / or address and / or biometric physical characteristics and / or a signature.
- the withdrawal authorization code is an alphanumeric A physical person code, which is read from a memory module of the control and data processing device and made available for picking up the goods at the intermediate storage facility or is transmitted from the input or output device to the control and data processing device of the selected or specified intermediate storage facility.
- the withdrawal authorization code can, for example, be generated by a random generator.
- An advantage of a procedure according to claim 33 is that the removal authorization code is generated by the temporary storage facility and thus the goods provider or the ordering platform does not have to generate this and is thus relieved.
- the advantage is achieved that an unauthorized removal of goods from the selected or specified intermediate storage is avoided, since the removal authorization code and / or the access authorization indicator is mandatory for the removal.
- a procedure according to claim 35 is also possible.
- the advantage that can be achieved thereby is that damage to the goods due to an oversized dimension compared to the shelf compartment is avoided and, if appropriate, an adequately dimensioned shelf compartment of the intermediate storage is used for storage or, if necessary, the division of the compartments between the shelves can be automatically adapted to the dimensions of the goods, in particular their height.
- a procedure according to claim 36 is also possible, whereby the advantage is achieved that the correct destination can be determined for goods which have been mistakenly delivered to an interim storage facility, and the goods can thereby reach their correct destination very quickly.
- the wrongly delivered goods are removed from the transfer station and incorrect storage of goods that are missing at another intermediate storage facility is avoided.
- An embodiment according to claim 38 is also possible.
- the advantage that can be achieved here is that, particularly when the Internet is chosen as the communication device, very simple payment processing can be carried out or the goods are only received by the recipient of the goods after receipt of the or confirmation of availability is paid, whereby the recipient of the goods only pays for the goods when they are made available at the interim storage facility, thus avoiding the payment of items that are not available, for example.
- the advantage is achieved that the goods are paid for in cash when they are picked up and in this way an absolutely anonymous order and payment of goods can be carried out.
- An advantage of a procedure according to claim 40 is that a slip can be issued at the interim storage facility, which contains both data relating to the goods, in particular
- Claim 42 describes a very advantageous procedure for increasing security against unauthorized removal.
- the measure according to claim 43 is also advantageous, since it can thereby be avoided that the goods provider or supplier and / or goods recipient has to carry out multiple deliveries of the goods to the interim storage facility, since the goods provider or supplier and / or goods recipient is exempt from tax - and data processing device of the selected intermediate storage receives a message announcing the number of available parking spaces or that all possible parking spaces and the buffer storage path for goods are already fully occupied. As soon as free storage capacities are available again, the goods provider or supplier and / or goods recipient, from whom a query signal was sent, is notified independently of the availability of storage capacities.
- the measure according to claim 44 is advantageous since there is an automatic reversal to the account of the goods recipient, when returning an identifiable, ordered goods or a cash dispensing of the value of the goods.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by the measures set out in claim 45.
- the surprising advantage here is that operating parameters and / or movement sequences are monitored using only one remote control center, and if the actual state deviates from the target state centrally, short-term measures can be taken by this remote control center to counteract the inadmissible deviation and remedy the deviation.
- an entire goods dispatch system can be monitored by only one operator and the control and data processing device of each individual interim storage facility can be accessed from the remote control center, for example to change the control program of the storage system stored in the control and data processing device or movement sequences, for example, of the To influence the transport unit.
- the control program or computer program of each control and data processing device of a large number of intermediate stores required for controlling the storage system can be centrally maintained - in the form of an update.
- the connection of the interim storage facility to the remote control center also has the advantage that reliable fault diagnosis can be made and troubleshooting can be initiated quickly.
- the measure according to claim 46 enables the continuous logging of the operating parameters and / or movement sequences, as a result of which a rapid fault diagnosis is possible if the actual state deviates from the desired state of the operating parameters and / or movement sequences. Due to the ongoing monitoring of the logistics processes within the interim storage facility, deviations of the actual condition from the target condition can be logged over time, which enables further optimization of the interim storage facility and the monitoring device creates the possibility for remote maintenance and remote troubleshooting.
- a further measure according to claim 47 proves to be advantageous, since an operating status and / or fault message is transmitted to the remote control center only when the actual status deviates from the target status operating parameters and / or movement sequences. The amount of data in the remote control center can therefore be kept within limits.
- An advantage of the measures according to claims 48 and 49 is that impending faults, for example a failure of a drive system on the transport unit, etc., can be recognized sufficiently before a costly downtime of the storage system, and maintenance work can be carried out on the storage system at an early stage.
- the measure, as described in claim 50 is also advantageous because it provides the operating personnel with information on how to take this measure, in addition to the operating status and / or fault messages, so that error-free, unmistakable execution is achieved.
