Abstract: An order picking system including: shelving units delimiting an aisle; and a self-guiding carriage having climbing elements including four sprockets each intended to cooperate with shelves or chains attached to the posts, each of the sprockets being mounted on a support movable with respect to the frame of the carriage between an extended position and a retracted position. The width or length of the carriage is less than the spacing between the posts of the first pair of posts or the second pair of posts, and the movable support is configured such that, in the deployed position, at least a portion of each of the sprockets also protrudes from an edge of the frame facing the aisle.

Abstract: A system for automatic delivery of an order in bags to a pick-up location outside a building. Such a system includes: a device for signalling and/or detecting presence of a customer in the vicinity of the pick-up location; and a height-mounted transport module, which includes: a plurality of elements for suspending the bags from a track; an automatic displacement device for automatically moving the suspension elements on said track; and an actuator for actuating said automatic displacement device to displace the bags in which the various parts of said order have been deposited, to said pick-up location when said signalling and/or detection device emits a signal confirming the presence of said user in the vicinity of said pick-up location.

Abstract: A bin storage system includes a plurality of storage columns configured to receive a stack of bins. Upper contours of the storage columns form a grid. At least one robot operates above the grid, which is capable of picking up, transporting and depositing bins. The robot includes elements for gripping and lifting at least one bin. A plurality of removable covers above the grid form a circulation platform for the robot. The robot includes elements for pushing, pulling and/or lifting the covers to change the position of the covers to free access to the upper part of the columns

Abstract: A storage and transport system in a warehouse for an object intended to be stored in a rack of the warehouse. The system includes: a bin suitable for accommodating the object; and a powered trolley capable of climbing along the rack including a device for gripping and removing the bin. The gripping and removal device includes a support mounted so as to be movable relative to the chassis of the trolley between: an extended position, in which the support extends at least partially on a lateral edge of the carriage out of alignment with the chassis; and a retracted position, in which the support is housed opposite the chassis. The support includes a structural element and a protruding finger fixed with respect to the structural element and facing upward. The bottom of the bin has a fingerprint configured to accommodate a portion of the finger.

Abstract: An order picking system includes an automatic guided trolley for picking objects for an order in at least one shelving and having at least two running wheels and gear wheel supports cooperating with two pairs of uprights so as to allow the trolley to rise along the uprights. A stretched roller chain is fixed on each of the uprights, the chain extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the upright to which it is fixed to receive a tooth of the gear wheel cooperating with the upright to which it is fixed. Two adjacent rollers of the chain are spaced apart by the pitch value of the gear wheel. Each movable support has a securing element with one of the four uprights to maintain a predetermined distance between the axis of the gear wheel mounted on the movable support and the chain receiving the teeth of the gear wheel.

Abstract: An automatic product storage and retrieval system including: a bin storage facility having a plurality of storage columns arranged in a grid and configured to receive a vertical stack of bins; and at least one robot having a gripping and lifting element for gripping and lifting at least one bin and a mobile support configured to slide vertically around the bins. The gripping and lifting element includes at least one hook mounted so as to pivot with respect to the support or a finger guided in translation in a horizontal slide cooperating with one or more return springs. The bins have at least one lug with a locking housing for the hook substantially turned downwards and a tilted portion substantially turned upwards enabling a free end of the hook or of the bin to be pushed back towards the outside of the bin when the support moves downwards.
