METHOD FOR MERGING, IN A LOGISTICS WAREHOUSE, K INCOMING FLOWS OF PAYLOADS IN ONE OUTGOING FLOW

Method for merging, within a logistical warehouse, k incoming flows of payloads, transported respectively by k FIFO conveyor lanes αi with i∈{1, . . . , k} into one outgoing flow of payloads transported by a collector conveyor. The k lanes are distributed along the collector and numbered a1 to ak. Δ...

Zusammenfassung:Method for merging, within a logistical warehouse, k incoming flows of payloads, transported respectively by k FIFO conveyor lanes αi with i∈{1, . . . , k} into one outgoing flow of payloads transported by a collector conveyor. The k lanes are distributed along the collector and numbered a1 to ak. Δi is a time-related distance between the lanes ai and ak. A control system obtains a set L having n payloads distributed on the k lanes and having to be injected into the collector to form an exit sequence; computes a date t0 at which the first payload σ1 of the exit sequence σ passes in front of the lane ak; and computes n dates of injection of the n payloads into the collector, as a function of t0; and commands the collector and the k alleys, for an injection of the n payloads into the collector in compliance with the injection dates.
