Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for providing goods, in particular foodstuffs, to the customer, and a related sales device.
  • the order can usually be made regardless of time limits e.g. B. via the Internet or telephone, and as in the previous mail order business, the customer can accommodate the time required for the selection of the goods at will in his daily routine, Very little time is required for the pure collection of the goods, which is also not subject to any time restrictions, in particular because the goods are already in a corresponding container, in particular a disposable container, in particular a collapsible box, which the customer has taken with them can be, so that a reloading of the individual goods is not necessary and because the payment was normally also made beforehand via the Internet, and
  • the customer can drive his car directly to the point of delivery of the goods, so he does not have to transport the goods from the exit of the building to the generally distant position of his vehicle in the supermarket parking lot, as in a supermarket.
  • the delivery point, i.e. the delivery lock, of the second interim storage facility is to be arranged far away from the first interim storage facility, in which the individual goods are usually stored in pallets, for example close to a residential area or in the parking lot of a large company, there are several options:
  • the second interim storage facility is a mobile unit in the form of a container, semi-trailer, trailer or a truck itself that can be transported by truck, which is set up where the delivery point for the shopping baskets is desired.
  • This mobile interim storage facility then also contains the output lock.
  • it is provided, for example, to assign a separate output lock to each storage unit within the intermediate storage, that is to say the storage row, storage column, storage loop.
  • the shopping cart containers in transport loops in the manner of a paternoster in the transverse planes of the z.
  • Containers can be stored, several paternoster loops can be combined to form a functional unit, but each individual paternoster loop is still a separate output lock available.
  • the relevant compartment is brought to the level of the delivery lock with the help of the rotating paternoster, stopped and the corresponding delivery lock opened for removal by the customer.
  • dispensing points with a higher frequency it makes sense to permanently install dispensing locks in connection with a docking station, which contains the necessary transport system for the shopping baskets to the dispensing lock.
  • Mobile second interim storage facilities again for example in the form of containers or trucks, can dock directly onto this docking station. These then only contain the storage option, but not their own delivery locks, but when a shopping cart is requested at one of the permanently installed delivery locks, the corresponding shopping cart is taken directly from the mobile second interim storage facility, which remains at the docking station until it is completely empty.
  • the docked mobile interim storage facility and the docking station must have a compatible, in particular identical, internal transport system.
  • the loading robot of the docking station is able to drive into the docked, mobile temporary storage facility via suitable, detachable travel path connections and to handle, in particular to outsource, shopping cart containers there.
  • the docking station can also have a small additional storage facility so that, apart from a few shopping baskets, mobile temporary storage devices that have already been emptied can be completely emptied into this additional storage facility so that the mobile temporary storage facility can be removed from the docking station earlier and refilled.
  • the customer always buys from the same supplier, it is possible for him to create his own individual goods selection list from the entire range of goods to put together, so that the respective selection is easier and quicker, and the customer can also regularly or repeatedly provide goods, which represent his basic range, either permanently or optionally. In addition, the customer still has the option of opting for home delivery instead of picking up the individual items assembled into a shopping cart.
  • the container is preferably a collapsible container or one that can be minimized in other dimensions.
  • the retrieval of the shopping cart at the issue point is preferably carried out by the customer being legitimized, which at the same time sets his shopping basket ready in the direction of the issue point.
  • the legitimation is preferably carried out by inserting the customer's EC card into an appropriate card reader. This can also be used to debit and thus pay for the goods, or the payment has - which is preferred - already in advance when ordering, for. B. took place on the Internet.
  • the system control previously assigned a specific storage position to the customer order in the second interim storage facility based on the planned pick-up time, and when the customer requests this now, the shopping cart stored in this storage position is retrieved after identification of the customer, for example based on the coding of his EC card.
  • a corresponding sales device like previous sales devices, has a first intermediate store for the individual goods and an input device for filling up this first intermediate store.
  • a picking device is available to put together the items ordered by the customer, i.e. selected items, into shopping baskets.
  • the order-picking device is preferably an automatically operating device which takes goods from the first intermediate storage and assembles them into shopping baskets by placing the goods in the corresponding shopping cart containers. Also one manual picking for shopping baskets is possible.
  • the assembled shopping baskets are then stored in a second temporary storage facility for the customer, which has dispensing devices.
  • this dispensing device comprises a short-term car parking space and is designed in particular as a dhve-in zone, so that the dispenser can reload the shopping cart, in particular together with the shopping cart container, into the trunk of the motor vehicle.
  • the dispensing device In order to make the dispensing device unmanned, it comprises an output lock for the shopping cart containers and in particular also a return device on the one hand for empty returned shopping cart containers and on the other hand for empty reusable packaging, such as empty beverage crates etc.
  • This return device is preferably combined with the dispensing device.
  • Such a delivery gate must be vandal-proof due to the 24-hour operation that can be seen.
  • the goods which were preferably already paid for with an EC card when ordering online, are requested by inserting the EC card into a card reader or entering an order preparation code. In the latter case, payment can also be made for collection. Payment can also be made via current credit or invoicing by the supplying company.
  • the aim is to make the delivery unmanned overall, and in this connection also to bring the shopping baskets stored in the second intermediate storage area to the delivery device, in particular to the delivery lock.
  • this second intermediate store which is preferably coolable for food
  • this second intermediate store is designed as a high-bay warehouse with an automatic loading and unloading system, which takes care of moving the filled shopping cart containers into the delivery lock.
  • an automatic loading and unloading system which takes care of moving the filled shopping cart containers into the delivery lock.
  • the shopping cart containers are identical in order to facilitate handling.
  • These shopping cart containers can also be combined mechanically into larger units, in particular stackable or can be placed next to one another and connected to one another.
  • Such a sales device can include several first intermediate stores, for example for different types of goods (beverages / food / non-food), and in particular also several second intermediate stores, in particular with several storage and retrieval machines.
  • Both sales devices can be coupled to the effect that the different, pre-ordered shopping baskets, e.g. B. Food on the one hand and beverages on the other hand, picked in different first interim storage facilities for ordering and then either in a common second interim storage facility or in separate second interim storage facilities these shopping baskets are provided for the customer so that he can request and remove them together at one and the same delivery gate .
  • these stores which are created as separate buildings, are arranged at a distance and are connected to one another in particular because of the traffic by means of bridge-like transport devices for the shopping baskets or beverage crates.
  • Fig. 4 another form of the sales device in top view and side view.
  • Fig. 1 shows the sales device in supervision.
  • the building shown in FIG. 1 above is an intermediate storage 112 for beverages, which will be explained in more detail later.
  • the building shown at the very bottom in FIG. 1 is one or two first interim storage facilities 11 or 11, 11 ', possibly built one above the other, which on one side comprises an input device 1 for the delivery of goods, on which a truck 17 which is currently being delivered 'is shown and preferably on the other hand, on the one hand, a picking device 13 for assembling the shopping baskets 2 ordered by the customers and a control station 15 which controls the correct assembly of these shopping baskets 2.
  • the goods are forwarded to the second building by means of a transport system 16, which includes the second intermediate storage 12 for the commissioned shopping baskets.
  • the individual goods are thus put together in the first intermediate storage 11, 11 'by the order-picking device 13 according to the customer's order into shopping baskets 2 and stored manually or automatically in corresponding shopping cart containers 102.
  • the transport system 16 'in the second intermediate storage 12, which is designed as a high-bay warehouse 14, can be a transport system known for high-bay storage, a so-called storage and retrieval unit, which, in conjunction with a corresponding control, carries out a chaotic storage in high-bay warehouse 14.
  • Carriages 16a can generally be moved along the aisles between the storage racks, which carry a frame that extends to the level of the highest shelf level and within which a type of elevator car can be moved vertically, from which a shopping cart container 102 in the amount of Desired shelf box 19 can be moved laterally there or removed from it.
  • this second intermediate storage 12 has two output locks 3 with an associated request unit 9 on each of their end faces.
  • the transport system 16 is connected to these output locks 3.
  • the customer who stops with his customer car 18 directly in front of the delivery lock 3, calls up his shopping basket 2, which has already been put together and is stored in the intermediate storage 12, via the request unit 9, whereupon the corresponding shopping basket container 102 is automatically removed from the high-bay storage 14 by the transport system 16 'and after transfer to another transport system 16 "to the delivery lock 3 is deposited.
  • the output lock 3 can be opened and the customer removes his shopping cart 2 together with the shopping cart container 102 and places it in his car 18.
  • the output lock 3 is preferably at waist height, that is, at a height at which it is no longer necessary to lift it up in the trunk.
  • the delivery lock can also include mechanical auxiliary devices, such as rolling devices, etc., in order to be able to bring the shopping cart containers 102 to the trunk of the car 18 with as little force as possible when the car is approached correctly.
  • the storage 112 for beverages arranged next to this second intermediate storage 12 is designed as a separate building, connected to the second intermediate storage by a bridge-like connecting passage, which is preferably accessible by cars 18 or by a tunnel-like connecting passage.
  • the storage 112 for beverages can be a mixed form of the first and second intermediate storage.
  • this store 112 has an input device 1 ′ for the individual goods, in this case pallets equipped with filled beverage crates, wherein only bottles of the same type and with the same beverage are always located within a beverage crate.
  • the delivery is again carried out by means of the truck 17 'shown.
  • the output locks 3 'of this warehouse 112 which are equipped with a screen terminal, do not serve, however, to retrieve an already assembled shopping cart, this time composed of drinks, but also the entry of an order only here.
  • the desired beverage delivery is then preferably assembled automatically and unmanned in the warehouse 112, in that crates with mixed contents can also be put together according to the customer's order and, in turn, fed to the delivery lock 3 'via a transport system 16.
