Picking system and method for picking articles

摘要

A picking system for picking articles from storage loading aids in order loading aids has first and second conveyor systems for supplying and discharging the storage loading aids and the order loading aids, and a picking station having diverting conveyor systems. The first diverting conveyor system connects a transfer section of the first conveyor system for the storage loading aids via a first transport path to a pick-up section of the second conveyor system. The second diverting conveyor system connects a transfer section of the first conveyor system for the other loading aids via a further transport path to a pick-up section of the second conveyor system for the order loading aids. During further transport of the loading aids along the transport paths in the region of the diverting conveyor, the leading ends of the loading aids always form the front end of the loading aids in the transport direction.
