Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for packaging at least one article of an order, a packaging system for packaging at least one article and a storage system.
- a method for packaging at least one article of an order preferably comprises providing the at least one article on an article provision area. Furthermore, the method preferably comprises receiving product information of the at least one article of the order, wherein the product information comprises at least one property of the at least one article of the order. In addition, the method preferably comprises providing packaging for the at least one article of the order based on the product information, and moving the at least one article of the order from the article provision area into the packaging based on the product information.
- the present invention offers the advantage that the articles are not arbitrarily relocated into the packaging, but are relocated into the packaging based on product information that can describe the articles. This can be achieved by the article provision area on which the articles of an order are provided. More precisely, the relocation of the articles from the article provision area into the packaging can only be carried out when all the articles of an order are arranged on the article provision area. This makes it easy to select, for example, which of the articles is the most robust and can be relocated to the bottom of the packaging. This offers the possibility of the articles being relocated into the packaging individually based on the product information. For example, other properties of the articles can also be taken into account and the articles can be fed into the packaging accordingly.
- the present invention makes it possible to introduce different goods or articles into a packaging.
- a method for packaging at least two different articles must be provided. It is particularly advantageous that the product information is taken into account in order to be able to take individual circumstances of the articles into account.
- the order can, for example, be an order from an end customer. Such an order can consist of one or more items. For example, it is common today to order a large number of different items from an online retailer. Nevertheless, an order can also only contain a single item.
- An item can be a product intended for the end customer. In other words, the items can include household items. Accordingly, an order can include household quantities of the same or different items.
- Providing the at least one item on the item provision area can be understood to mean that the item is deposited on the item provision area. For example, an item can be removed from a warehouse and transported to the item provision area by an item conveyor or a transport system (e.g. a shuttle) and deposited there.
- a transport system e.g. a shuttle
- the item information can, for example, be digital data that includes at least one property of the item deposited on the item provision area.
- the goods information does not have to be recorded when the at least one article is made available on the article provision area, but can be retrieved (i.e. received) from a database, for example. It is therefore not necessary to use analysis means when the at least one article is made available. In particular, it is not necessary to scan, analyze or identify an article removed from a storage system between the storage position of the article and the provision position on the article storage area.
- the packaging can be, for example, a box or other outer packaging in which articles are usually shipped. Depending on how many articles and/or which articles are included in an order, the packaging can be provided based on the goods information.
- packaging can have a greater protective effect for particularly fragile articles than for robust articles.
- the packaging can be larger for a large number of items in an order and correspondingly smaller for only a few items.
- a packaging size can be individually adapted to each order. This can ensure that packaging with the optimal size and/or properties is provided that matches the items in an order.
- the relocation of at least one item from the item provision area into the packaging can then also be carried out based on the product information.
- particularly fragile items can be stored in the packaging in such a way that damage to the items can be avoided during transport of the packaging.
- the relocation itself can be individually adapted to the items. Some items are easy to relocate, whereas other items require a special type of relocation.
- the suction gripping device is merely an example and other moving systems are conceivable in which the movement can be adjusted based on the product information. For example, with a mechanical gripping device, the gripping pressure can be adjusted accordingly based on the product information. The movement can therefore be an individual packing of the individual articles of an order into the packaging.
- the at least one article of an order is transported from a storage system to the article preparation area.
- the ordered articles can be removed from a storage system and transported to the article preparation area.
- the order can comprise a single article or a plurality of articles. In the case where the order comprises a plurality of articles, the articles can be transported individually or together to the article preparation area.
- a single supply to the article preparation area is possible because all articles of an order are first collected at the article preparation area before they are moved into the packaging. This makes it possible to determine an order in which the articles are moved into the packaging based solely on the goods information. Instead, the articles of an order can be transported directly from the storage system to the article preparation area. Direct can mean that there is no intermediate article recognition or identification. According to a preferred embodiment, the goods information is determined before the articles are stored in the storage system, so that after articles are removed from the storage system, no re-identification or recognition of articles is necessary in order to determine the associated goods information. An order can thus be transported to the article staging area directly after being removed from the storage system (ie without intermediate handling devices). This can speed up the packing of an order, which can reduce overall delivery times. Furthermore, the overall processing capacity of a storage system can be increased.
- the at least one article is fed to the article provision area by means of a shuttle and in particular deposited on the article provision area by a transport device of the shuttle.
- the shuttle also referred to as a storage and retrieval device
- the shuttle can be designed to transport articles or goods back and forth. In other words, a single article can be individually picked up and deposited by the shuttle.
- the shuttle can The shuttle can therefore be designed to transport articles individually in their smallest packaging unit. In other words, no transport box or the like is necessary for the shuttle to transport an article. By saving on additional transport devices such as boxes or the like, moving or transporting the articles within the storage system can be simplified.
- the shuttle can have a transport device that is designed to move the article that is to be picked up by the shuttle onto a transport surface of the shuttle.
- the transport device can be designed to bring an article that is arranged on the transport surface of the shuttle from the shuttle to a target position.
- no external transport or gripping devices are necessary to unload or load the shuttle.
- the shuttle it is possible for the shuttle to drive into a storage system independently, pick up an article from an order and bring it to the article preparation area and unload the article there independently. This means that the devices required can be reduced to a minimum. It is also conceivable that a large number of shuttles are used, with each shuttle supplying a different article to an order in the same article supply area. This can speed up the retrieval process.
- the goods information is determined before storing the at least one article.
- the goods information can be determined before the goods are placed in the storage system, so that when the goods are removed from the storage system (i.e. when the articles are transported to the article preparation area), the goods information does not need to be determined again.
- the article provision surface is a table-like structure on which the at least one article can be held passively.
- the article provision surface can have a surface on which the at least one article can be placed. Passive in the present case can mean that the articles remain lying on the article provision surface independently without the intervention of any other devices.
- the article provision area is a rigid structure that cannot be easily moved relative to the surface on which it stands. This means that the structure of the article provision area can be particularly simple, which can save costs.
- the product information includes fragility, load-bearing capacity, dimensional stability, surface texture, porosity, sensitivity, possible hazards posed by the article, cooling requirements, incompatibilities, state of aggregation, shelf life, information and/or a serial number of the at least one article.
- the product information can include batch numbers and/or manufacturing batch numbers. This makes it easy to implement a recall of certain articles, for example.
- the product information can therefore reflect a variety of different properties of the articles. This allows the article to be processed in an optimal manner to ensure that the articles can be processed and transported as required and without damage.
- the fragility of the articles can mean, for example, that no heavy objects may be placed on the article.
- the load-bearing capacity of an article can define the weight that a certain article can bear.
- the dimensional stability of an article can define how resistant an article is to unwanted deformation.
- the surface texture can define how porous or how wrinkled or jagged an article surface is. This can be important, for example, for a processing process of the article in which the article is gripped with a suction gripping device. Based on this, it can be determined with what vacuum an article is optimally held with the suction gripping device. Furthermore, it can be determined how and where the suction gripping device can contact the article to ensure optimal hold.
- the sensitivity of an article can generally define in which environment the article can be located without being damaged. In contrast, Dangers define possible dangers for other articles in the vicinity.
- the cooling requirements of an article can define in which climatic environment the article can stay for how long without being damaged.
- Intolerances can be, for example, intolerance to magnetic fields. This can ensure that electrical devices, for example, are not damaged.
- a state of aggregation can primarily mean that the article is a solid or a liquid product.
- the further processing of the article can be adapted based on this.
- the shelf life of an article can mean how long the article can be stored. This can be important if, for example, the article is planned to be shipped and this will take a long time.
- Odor information can mean whether or not the article emits unpleasant odors. This can, for example, be decisive for where or with which other articles the specific article is transported. Overall, the goods information can be used to describe the articles individually in order to ensure optimal processing of the articles.
- the at least one article is supplied to the article preparation area without outer packaging and/or transport aid.
- the at least one article can be provided in its smallest packaging. This means that no further transport aids such as a transport box or transport container are necessary and the article can be used as it is delivered by the manufacturer. This can simplify the overall process. Furthermore, it is not necessary to transport empty transport containers back to a starting point. In addition, when the article is packaged, there is no unnecessary outer packaging that would take up any storage space.
- the packaging is provided in a position relative to the article provision area that is dependent on the product information.
- the packaging into which the at least one article of an order is to be moved is provided in a spatial relationship to the article provision area.
- the packaging is arranged on a packaging provision area.
- the packaging is provided in the immediate vicinity of the article provision area. This ensures that the articles provided for an order only have to be moved a minimal distance to get into the packaging.
- the relative position can be dependent on the goods information of the at least one article of an order. For example, in the case of a very large order (i.e., with a large number of articles that are to be assigned to an order), a very large packaging may be required.
- this packaging (for example, the bottom of the packaging) must be provided at a greater distance from the article provision area, compared to a case in which only a small packaging has to be provided, into which, for example, only one article is to be moved. Due to the variability of the provision position (i.e., the relative position) of the packaging with respect to the article provision area, a movement path between the article provision area and the packaging can be minimized. This can increase the efficiency of packaging.
- the relative position is varied during movement of the at least one article into the packaging.
- the packaging can be moved relative to the article provision area.
- the packaging can be arranged such that the bottom of the packaging is arranged substantially at the same vertical height (i.e. in the direction of gravity) as the article provision area.
- the packaging can be lowered downwards in the direction of gravity in order to minimize the displacement path of a further article which is to be stored in the packaging. In this way, it can always be ensured that the minimum displacement path is provided between the article provision area and the packaging.
- the packaging is provided at a different height position in the direction of gravity compared to the article provision area.
- a base of the packaging is located below the article provision area in the direction of gravity. This makes it possible to achieve an initial state in which a small displacement path of the articles on the article provision area into the packaging is ensured.
- the packaging is provided directly adjacent to the article provision area. This also reduces the distances. Furthermore, the installation space required for the packaging system can be minimized.
- a provision direction of the at least one article and a provision device of the packaging intersect.
- a provision direction of the at least one article can be the direction of movement in which the article is fed to the article provision area.
- the direction of movement can be understood here as a vector in two-dimensional space. In other words, the intersection of the directions of movement can be determined in a plan view of the packaging system.
- the provision direction of the packaging can be the direction in which the packaging is fed to its provision position.
- feeding to the article provision area and to the provision position of the packaging can take place from different directions. This allows delivery devices to be arranged in an advantageous manner, whereby a packaging system can be designed to be particularly compact.
- the at least one article is moved from the article provision area into the packaging by means of a gripping device.
- the article can be gripped from the article provision area and moved into the packaging and placed there.
- the gripping device can be an automated robot arm that is controlled by a control unit.
- the gripping device can be designed to move only one article at a time from the article provision area into the packaging.
- the gripping device is controlled depending on the product information.
- the product information can be indicative of how an article can be gripped and/or moved. For example, with particularly delicate articles, gripping processes must be carried out particularly carefully (e.g. the gripping device should only be operated with low accelerations).
- the gripping device is equipped depending on the product information.
- the gripping device can be designed to be equipped with various gripping elements.
- the gripping device can be equipped with a large-area vacuum suction device, a vacuum suction device with a plurality of suction heads, a mechanical gripper, or other gripping devices.
- the various adapters can be stored in a magazine near the article provision area. Based on the product information, the gripping device can use the optimal gripper. Such a determination can be carried out, for example, by a control unit.
- the gripper can be designed to change the adapter independently (i.e. without manual intervention).
- a conveying level of the at least one article differs from the conveying level of the packaging.
- a conveying level can describe a height position in the direction of gravity.
- the articles and the packaging can be fed at different heights in the direction of gravity.
- the packaging e.g. a box
- the packaging is only made available when all the items in an order have been made available on the item preparation area. This ensures that packaging is not made available for an unnecessarily long time until all the items in an order have been made available on the item preparation area. This avoids unnecessary use of the packaging preparation area.
- an item that is fed into the item preparation area last may be the first to be put into the packaging because it is, for example, the most stable. This can increase the efficiency of the packaging process overall. It is also conceivable that two item preparation areas are assigned to one packaging preparation area. This means that, for example, as long as one item preparation area is supplied with items from an order, another order can be packed into the packaging. This allows the space in a packaging system to be used optimally.
- a packaging system for packaging at least one article preferably comprises an article provision area for providing at least one article, a packaging provision area for providing a package, an article conveyor for feeding the at least one article to the article provision area, a packaging conveyor for feeding a package to the packaging provision area, a gripping device designed to move at least one article provided on the article provision area into a package provided on the packaging provision area, and a control unit designed to control the gripping device based on goods information of the at least one article.
- the packaging system can be a device designed to pack articles of an order into a package.
- the packaging can be, for example, a box, a carton, a shipping bag or other types of packaging.
- the article provision area can be a rigid body designed to place articles or goods thereon.
- the article provision area is a substantially rectangular, flat surface which is relative to a
- the packaging supply area can be a device on which a package can be provided.
- the packaging supply area is smaller than the article supply area (e.g. in terms of its surface area).
- the article conveying device can be a shuttle system, as already described above.
- the packaging conveying device can be a device that can transport packages.
- the packaging conveying device can be designed to produce packages. For example, boxes can be in an unfolded state, wherein the packaging conveying device can fold the unfolded boxes in such a way that packages are formed for receiving articles. These packages can then be delivered to the packaging supply area.
- the gripping device can be a device that is designed to individually grip articles from the article supply area and to move them into a package that is arranged on the packaging supply area.
- the control unit can be a computer-like device that is designed to receive input data, process it and output output data.
- the output data can, for example, include control commands for various devices of the packaging system.
- the control unit can have a storage unit in which, for example, product information can be stored.
- the article conveying device preferably comprises a rail system which runs at least partially along the article provision area.
- the rail system can be designed so that a shuttle can move along it. It is also conceivable that the rail system runs at least partially along a large number of article provision areas. Various shuttles can thus travel on the rail system and deposit a transported article at a desired article provision area. This allows a particularly high throughput of the packaging system to be achieved.
- the rail system preferably borders directly on the article provision area so that articles can be easily transferred from a shuttle to the article provision area.
- the article conveying device comprises a shuttle that can be moved on a rail system. This allows articles to be fed individually to the article provision area.
- the shuttle is designed to transport articles from a storage system to the packaging system and deposit them there on the article preparation area.
- the shuttle can pick up and deposit the articles independently using a transport device provided on it.
- the articles can be fed directly from the storage system to the packaging system without any intermediate stations being provided where the articles would have to be processed.
- the packaging system further comprises a magazine for storing a plurality of different adapters for the gripping device, wherein the control unit is designed to determine an adapter based on the product information.
- the magazine can be a storage device in which various gripping adapters for the gripping device are stored.
- the adapters are stored in the magazine in such a way that the gripping device can change them independently.
- the packaging supply area is designed to be displaceable between a packaging receiving position and a loading position, wherein the packaging receiving position and the loading position differ in terms of their positioning in the direction of gravity.
- the packaging supply area can be designed to be displaceable.
- the packaging receiving position the packaging supply area can receive a package from the packaging conveyor device. If the package is then located on the packaging supply area, it can be moved in the direction of gravity to assume a position in which the gripping device has to cover the shortest distance when the gripping device transfers an article from the article supply area into the packaging.
- This position can be referred to as the loading position.
- the loading position can change during loading of the packaging in order to always provide the shortest possible distance for the gripping device between the article supply area and the packaging.
- the direction of gravity can also be referred to as the direction of gravity.
- the gripping device is a suction gripping device.
- the article can be held on an adapter such as a suction cup by means of a vacuum.
- the suction gripping device is designed to grip the at least one article based on the product information.
- the product information can be met using the product information.
- the packaging conveying device is designed as a conveyor belt. This allows the packaging to be fed to the packaging preparation area in a simple manner.
- the packaging conveying device and the article conveying device are arranged at different height levels in the direction of gravity.
- article feeding and packaging feeding can be realized in only a very small space.
- the packaging conveyor device and the article conveyor device run transversely to each other.
- the article conveyor device and the packaging conveyor device run transversely to each other in a plan view of the packaging system.
- the packaging system is constructed like a portal, wherein the gripping device is provided in such a way that it can be in the Gravity direction that can grip articles from above.
- the packaging system can be constructed analogously to a gantry crane.
- the packaging system can have a spatial rectangular shape.
- the gripping device can be movable in a first direction on a movable arm, for example. Furthermore, the gripping device can be movable in a second direction on the first arm by means of a movable carriage. The gripping device can be movable in a third direction (ie in the gravity direction) by means of an extension mechanism. This allows the gripping device to reach any position in the packaging system.
