The present invention relates to a system for picking a plurality of different articles in a fully automated manner, which are preferably stored in storage load supports (70, 72), into order load supports (34) in accordance with a picking order, comprising: a first conveyor (18) conveying the plurality of different articles (52), which are to be picked, from an article warehouse (16) as an article stream downstream relative to a manlessly operated order-picking station (37) including a fully automated gripping unit (30); at least one gripping unit (30), which can be lifted and lowered and which is particularly mounted on a ceiling, for gripping one, in particular one single, arbitrary article (52) from the stream at a receiving point (62) within a gripping area (56) on the first conveyor (18) and for transferring the gripped article (52) to a delivery point (60) outside the gripping area (56), wherein the receiving point (62) and the delivery point (60) are located within a working area (54) of the gripping unit, which preferably is almost circular, and wherein the arbitrary article (52) is vertically lifted from the stream, substantially displaced in a horizontal direction and subsequently moved vertically downwards when being transferred, wherein the gripping unit (30) can grip and transfer up to 1,500 articles each hour; a control unit (31; 69) coordinating the gripping and transferring movements of the gripping unit (30) such that predetermined articles (52) of the stream can be gripped and transferred individually; and an order load support buffer (35; 35′) for buffering one or more order load supports (34) at a corresponding number of destinations, wherein the buffer (35) is coupled to the gripping unit (30). |
