Abstract

Claims (18)

1 . A method for operating a storage arrangement, comprising:

inserting goods into the storage arrangement in an inbound delivery container at an incoming goods area;

removing the goods from the inbound delivery container;

transferring the goods from the inbound delivery container into a stackable packaging unit;

temporarily storing the goods in the packaging unit in a block storage unit which has multiple stacking compartments, each of which is designed to receive a stack of packaging units; and

removing the goods from the storage arrangement in a predetermined sequence in an outbound delivery container at an outgoing goods area, whereby the goods are removed from the block storage unit in a sequence predetermined by the outgoing goods area.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the packaging units in each stacking compartment contain the same type of goods.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the packaging units are inserted into the stacking compartments from below.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the packaging units are inserted into the stacking compartments and are removed from the stacking compartments by loading vehicles, which can be moved in a loading compartment below the stacking compartments.

8 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein loading vehicles that transport racks are used, wherein the racks insert the packaging units into the stacking compartments and remove them from the stacking compartments.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein racks that have their own lifting drive are used for a device, connected to the rack, for lifting and lowering the packaging units.

10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein racks that are coupled by a coupling device to a drive in the loading vehicle are used in order to operate a device, connected to the rack, for lifting and lowering the packaging units.

11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a packaging unit that has at least two different filling/removal directions is used.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein a first filling/removal direction runs in the direction of gravity and a second filling/removal direction runs perpendicularly to the direction of gravity.

13 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the lifting drive has its own power supply.
