20080213072 | Discharge hopper and method of discharging shaft trays filled with rod-shaped products - A discharge hopper for a tray discharge station for serially discharging shaft trays filled with rod-shaped products includes, a conveying element for carrying away the products flowing from the shaft trays and a connecting device for coupling the shaft trays to be emptied to the conveying element. The connecting device is arranged substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the conveying element to form a channel for the product flow and includes an opening for passage of the products from the shaft tray into the channel. In the region of the connecting device there is provided a closure unit to open and close the opening. The closure device is coupled to a movable actuating element so that the closure device can be opened and closed shaft by shaft in relation to the shaft tray to be emptied. | 09-04-2008 |
20090010741 | AUTOMATED SYSTEM AND METHOD OF AUTOMATICALLY ORDER-PICKING OR CONSOLIDATING ARTICLES - The invention relates to a method for automatically order-picking or consolidating articles of a wide variety of different formats and varieties, using the following steps: separating the stored articles, storing the articles in a rack bay, retrieving the articles and palletising them. The method is predominantly characterized in that the articles which are to be order-picked for an order are put together in a rack bay already in the sequence which is necessary for palletising. The invention also relates to an installation for implementing the method. | 01-08-2009 |
20100172724 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED DISPENSING OF MEDICATIONS AND SUPPLEMENTS - A system for assembling and dispensing an order made up of one or more individually packaged items from a plurality of different individually packaged items includes a storage module containing one or more packages of each of the items, and a conveyor having selectively assignable spaces configured to receive the packaged items associated with a particular order and to transport the packaged items to a processing location. A pick device is movable relative to the storage module and is configured to retrieve a package from the storage module. A transfer station adjacent the conveyor receives one or more of the packaged items from the pick device and an actuator associated with the transfer station moves the packaged items from the transfer station to the conveyor when the assigned space associated with the order is in registration with the transfer station. | 07-08-2010 |
20110182704 | OVERHEAD RACK STORAGE SYSTEM - An overhead rack system is provided that may be mounted to the ceiling of a structure such as a garage for storing items in an organized manner off the floor.
