METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING AN ACCESS TO COMPARTMENTS OF A STORAGE SYSTEM

摘要

Among a plurality of compartments of a storage system, each having an RFID transponder unit assigned thereto, the compartment which an order picker is accessing can be identified highly accurately by analysing the progression over time of the phase positions of RFID response signals. Detection of a movement pattern of the order picker, more particularly a gripping process, enables reliable gripper recognition, supports selective transponder reading and enables a particularly energy-saving operation of the RFID system, in which the RFID reading unit is only activated when the order picker actually reaches into the storage compartment.
