Description

Hand-held scanner and this comprehensive picking system

The present invention relates to a hand-held scanner with a scanning device for checking the plausibility of scannable data and with at least one control panel for plausibility of non-scannable data such as shelf space identifications of a warehouse management system and / or goods barcodes or article numbers and for correction of quantities according to the order contents one, for example one Warehouse management system, created picking tour.

Picking is the aggregation of specific subsets (items) from a total quantity (assortment) usually provided in warehouses due to an order. This can be a sales order or a production order. In order to avoid unnecessary travel times, not every order is usually processed individually, but usually a warehouse management system or otherwise IT-supported, route and volume-optimized picking routes are grouped together for several customers, which include in particular storage bin, article number and quantity. The employee who processes the order is referred to as a picker or picker or gripper. The tour itself takes place either on foot with a picking trolley or with a battery-powered order picking vehicle. In both cases, the listed goods are filled in the sections or boxes of the picking trolley, which are assigned to specific customers.

For warehouses where the plausibility of a removal on the shelf space is not required because, for example, a final inspection is provided at the packing station, preferably offers the laid down in German Patent DE 10 2007 017 817 B3 picking board, which the user pressure-technically produced picking lists so advantageous visually through the order contents of the list arranged in rows and columns, as previously only possible with costly image screen-assisted and / or comparable electronic aids equipped picking systems was possible. In this regard, reference should also be made to the prior art laid down in the introduction to the description of WO 2008/125678 A1.

Should or must, for example, for warranty reasons or because a final check at the packing station no longer takes place, however, in a warehouse a removal on the shelf space are plausible, the use of special self-sufficient handheld scanner offers. You will be taken to the shelf to scan in particular the bar code and / or the item number of the goods removed, so make sure that always the right is removed. If the bar code and / or article number of a good can be read and if it is available in sufficient quantity, everything is fine.

1 exemplifies previously known hand-held scanner 10 with a scanning device 11 for plausibility of scannable data, a handle 12, a scan trigger button 13 and a control panel 20 for plausibility of non-scannable data such as shelf location identifications of a warehouse management system and / or goods barcodes or article numbers and for correcting quantities used for order picking, alpha- 14 and / or numeric 15 keys for manually entering a shelf space recognition and / or bar code or item number of the product. However, alphanumeric keys 14 and 15 inflate a keyboard or similar control panel 20 so that the handheld scanner 10 becomes so bulky and unwieldy that it can no longer be ergonomically optimized. Known handheld scanner 10 is usually kept in the hand of the order picker during the picking tour. Arrived at the shelf he must then put away the hand scanner to grab the goods. If the order picker grabbed the goods, he still has to take the scanner with him.

This ergonomically unfavorable procedure leads in practice, especially in large camps, more and more to the so-called pick-by-voice (or pick-to-voice, pick-2-voice). Voice, Voice Picking) processing. Instead of using a printed pick list or a data radio terminal, the order picker works with a headset that is either connected to a commercially available Pocket PC or a specially designed device. The orders are sent from the storage management system to the order picker by radio. The first voice output comprises the shelf space from which goods are to be taken. If the order picker has arrived there, he calls a check mark (number and / or letter) attached to the shelf space, which allows the system to carry out a check. If the correct check code is specified, the picker is instructed how many units to remove from the shelf. After removal, the picker acknowledges this process by means of keywords that are understood by the computer by means of speech recognition. Advantages such as hands and eyes free when picking are in particular the very high system acquisition costs as a disadvantage. Also, the ongoing acoustic dialogue on many order pickers tiring. If instructions are not or not properly understood, the user must prompt the system to re-announce the message with the prompt "please repeat." In addition, each employee must perform a pre-defined language dialogue with the voice calculator prior to using pick-by-voice systems that the respective individual voice characteristics can be recognized by the system.

US 2003/0034392 A1 discloses a hand-held scanner for detecting scannable and non-scannable data with a control panel operated by means of buttons. In the case of non-scannable data according to paragraph 0033 there is provided a type of character recognition function (graffϊti function) or the connection of a keyboard.

The US 65 02 754 Bl discloses a hand-held scanner for picking stock goods, which allows operation by means of function keys and exchanges data with a warehouse management system via a radio link. Finally, US 2004/0046027 A1 also relates to a hand-held scanner for picking goods with a touch screen and function keys.

Proceeding from this, the object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages known from the prior art, in particular with existing hand-held scanners or picking systems.

This object is achieved by a hand-held scanner having the features of patent claim 1 or a picking system comprising it. Advantageous embodiments and developments, which can be used individually or in combination with each other, are the subject of the dependent claims.

The hand-held scanner according to the invention is based on generic hand-held scanners in that the control panel is embodied exclusively as a collection of program functions shown by means of buttons, that the desired plausibility and / or correction step can be selected in a menu-driven manner by operating one or more buttons the data of an order content pending for scanning are displayed on a display of the hand-held scanner and can be acknowledged in the case of non-scanning by means of the button or buttons - without resorting to the alpha- and / or numeric buttons customary in the state of the art.

The present invention is therefore based on the idea, instead of many alpha- / numeric keys or comparable buttons for the exact input esp. Non-scannable bar codes or article numbers and quantity corrections on the handheld scanner only a few buttons comprehensive control panel or menu insb. for predefined manual controls. The control of something exclusively menus has the advantage that the user in each interaction step (eg plausibility, correction or the like) select a menu item or select and can execute the command behind it, without knowing and applying precise commands in text form as it does when picking with known manual Scanners is the case. The hand-held scanner according to the invention thus comes out for the first time completely without any alpha- and / or numeric buttons or buttons. Instead, the control panel or menu lists the most important program functions for the order picker as the user, which offers the corresponding warehouse management or operating system, ie, which are required for the plausibility of, above all, the non-scannable processes.

According to the invention, in the case of the non-scanning capability of a shelf identification and / or a bar code or item number, only a button ("non-scannable") for activating a menu-driven manual checking operation of the non-scannable shelf identifier and / or the bar code or product code is preferred the article number provided.

After activation of a menu-driven manual control operation of a non-scannable shelf location identifier and / or a commodity bar code or an article number, only a second button ("Enter") is preferably provided for acknowledging a successfully completed control process.

If, after activation of a menu-driven manual control operation, a non-scannable shelf location identifier and / or a bar code or article number control is not successfully locked, is preferred only a third button ("Esc") to cancel an unsuccessful lockable control process intended.

In a further embodiment of the invention, in the case of shortages, in particular a product to be picked, also provided only a button ("Qty") for the activation of a menu-driven manual quantity correction, wherein after activation of a menu-driven manual quantity correction, the correction means at least one, preferably can be done by means of two, quantity correction keys ("plus", "minus"), wherein the amount correction buttons ("plus" and / or "minus") can optionally be set so that when pressing a quantity correction button ("Plus" or "minus") the counting of quantities in a constantly faster or variable, in particular steadily faster becoming modes, takes place.

According to the invention, the hand-held scanner is preferably characterized by a display which is inclined towards the scanning device of the hand-held scanner and preferably to a main scanning axis (A) of the scanning device of the hand-held scanner, in particular at an angle α between 30 ° and 90 °, preferably between 45 ° and 75 ° , more preferably about 60 °, is arranged. Such a arranged display has the advantage that it is always in the field of view of the picker, even if the scanning means is advantageously carried in a holster on the belt or waistband.

Finally, in a first embodiment, the control panel can be arranged above the main scanning axis (A) between the scanning device and the display or, in an alternative embodiment, as part of the display, in particular as a touch screen or "touch screen".

The present invention also relates to a picking system for picking goods of any kind, comprising at least: means for optically navigating an order picker in accordance with the order contents of a picking route created by a warehouse management system; and means for scanning, designed as described above.

The optical navigation of the picker can be done in a first embodiment of the picking system on the display of the hand scanner.

Alternatively, possibly also cumulatively to optical displays on the display of the hand-held scanner, the optical navigation of the order-picker can also take place by means of a picking device, as laid down in DE 10 2007 017 817 B3 or WO 2008/125678 A1 soft is hereby fully incorporated by reference. In a further embodiment of a picking system, the arrangement of a so-called "put-to-light" and / or "put-to-display" display on the picking trolley has proven to be effective, especially for the purpose of correct removal of removed goods on the order picking additionally lent leads. For this purpose, it is preferred that the warehouse management system, the hand-held scanner and / or the picking device is designed to be synchronizable with at least one display device arranged on a picking trolley.

The hand-held scanner according to the invention can finally be designed for use as an off-line as well as for use as a radio scanner. In the former case, the hand-held scanner is characterized by memory and / or computing means in which all order contents of a picking tour created by a warehouse management system can be completely read in via a data transmission station and / or via a short-distance communication interface such as Bluetooth In the case of use as a radio scanner, the hand-held scanner in addition to storage and / or computing means still characterized by transmitting and receiving means in which individual order contents of a commissioned tour created by a warehouse management system can be read online via radio connection.

With the present invention, small, compact hand-held scanner can be realized, which can be inserted for the first time on picking tours in a holding device on the picking trolley and / or are carried in a holster on a belt or waistband of the order picker. Thus, in every situation, the display is arranged so that it is always in the view of the order picker. His hands are therefore always free in every step of the picking for the actual picking and holding of goods.

Additional details and further advantages of the invention are described below by way of example with reference to an embodiment - to which the invention is not limited - and described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In it show schematically:

In the following description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, like reference characters designate like or similar components.

Fig. 1 shows a hand-held scanner 10 according to the prior art, as already described in more detail in the introduction to the description.

Fig. 2 shows a hand-held scanner 10 according to the invention. Unlike known handheld scanners 10 with at least one control panel 20 for plausibility checking of non-scannable data such as shelf location identifications of a warehouse management system and / or bar codes or article numbers and for correcting quantities, the control panel 20 of a hand-held scanner 10 according to the invention is designed exclusively as one formed with the help of buttons 21, 22, ... (see in detail Fig. 4) shown collection of program functions that alone - without recourse to alpha- 14 and / or numeric 15 buttons (see in detail Fig. 1) - by Operation of one or more buttons 21, 22, ... the desired plausibility and / or correction step is menu-driven selectable.

In other words: instead of many alpha- / numeric keys or comparable buttons for the exact input esp. Non-scannable bar codes or article numbers and quantity corrections, the hand scanner 10 according to the invention is characterized by a control panel 20 that exclusively in the form of one with the help of Buttons 21, 22, ... formed collection of program functions is that by operating one or more buttons 20, 21, ... the desired plausibility and / or correction step is menu-driven selectable.

The relevant menu or control panel 20 can-as shown in the design variant according to FIG. 2 -be arranged above a main scanning axis A of the hand-held scanner 10 between the scanning device 11 arranged on the front side and a display 30 which is preferably arranged on the rear side. The control panel 20 may, however, also be an integral part of the display 30, which in this embodiment variant is then preferably designed as a touchscreen or touchscreen (not shown).

So that the display 30 always remains in the field of view of its user when carrying the hand-held scanner 10 in a holster 40 on the belt or waistband 50 or when it is placed in a holding device 70 on the picking trolley 60, this has proved to be the main scanning axis A of the scanning device 11 Hand scanner 10 to the handle 12 inclined towards, in particular at an angle α between 30 ° and 90 °, preferably between 45 ° and 75 °, more preferably about 60 °, to order.

FIG. 3 shows, by way of example, the hand-held scanner according to FIG. 2 in a holster 40 fastened to a belt 50. It is clearly recognizable how the display 30 of the hand-held scanner 10 always advantageously remains visible to the user.

FIG. 4 shows an enlarged detail of the control panel of the hand-held scanner according to FIG. 2 and shows by way of example how the main program functions necessary for the order-picker 100 are listed in the control panel or menu 20 in each case, the corresponding Lagerverwaltungsbzw. Operating system, so that you can do without any alphanumeric and / or numeric buttons or buttons of non-scannable data such as shelf position codes of a warehouse management system and / or goods barcodes or item numbers as well as corrections of quantities.

Thus, in the case of the non-scanning of a shelf location identifier and / or a commodity bar code or item number, the button 21 of a first program function ("non-scannable") is provided for activating a menu-driven manual control operation of the non-scannable date. After activating the menu-driven manual control process of the non-scannable date, the button 22 of a second program function ("Enter" to acknowledge a successfully lockable control operation or the button 23 of a third program function ("Esc") is provided for canceling an unsuccessful lockable control operation.

Similarly, in the case of shortages of, for example, a commodity to be picked, only the button 24 of a fourth program function ("Qty") is provided for activating a manual manual quantity correction, after activating the manual manual quantity correction, the buttons 25 and 26 of a fifth ("plus") ) and sixth ("minus") program functions are provided for performing the quantity correction.

In the case of large quantity deviations which are possible in practice (for example, if there are only 100 pieces instead of the given 500 pieces), the operation of the

Buttons 25 "plus" and 26 "minus" may also be set so that when the button 25 or 26 is depressed, counting the numbers of e.g. 500 to 100 as long in a constantly faster or variable, in particular steadily faster modes, until the key 25 or 26 is released. The then still possibly required exact input of the actual amount can be done by each pressing the button 25 or 26 short.

Although the six buttons 21 to 26 of non-scannable data can be plausibilized and deviating quantities can be corrected, it is conceivable to provide buttons for further program functions. In particular, a button 27 for a seventh program function ("Del") provides for the deletion or withdrawal of last entries or buttons 28 for a further program function ("scrolling"). Finally, buttons 29 for freely programmable program functions ("Fl, F2, ...") may also be provided, which, for example, are able to retain the picking performance of the commissioner 100 or damaged goods or the like. Finally, FIGS. 5 to 8 show the exemplary sequence of a menu-guided order picking using the buttons 21 to 26 of a hand-held scanner 10 in a picking system.

After - as shown by way of example in FIG. 5 - a warehouse management computer has created orders of a picking route, this is transmitted to the handheld scanner 10. Depending on whether a warehouse has wireless illumination or not, the hand-held scanner 10 may be designed for off-line or online operation.

As an off-line scanner, the hand-held scanner 10 has memory and / or computing means in which all order contents of a picking tour created by a warehouse management system can be completely read in via a data transmission station or docking station and / or via a short-distance communication interface such as Bluetooth. As a radio scanner, the hand-held scanner 10 has storage and / or arithmetic as well as transmitting and receiving means via which individual order contents of a picking tour created by the warehouse management system can be read online via a radio link.

In both cases, the respective order contents of the picking tour are visually displayed to the order picker 100, preferably via the display 30 of the hand-held scanner 10 (FIG. 9), in special cases also via a picking device 90, as described in DE 10 2007 017 817 B3 is known (Fig. 10).

The start of a so optically navigated picking tour, for example via an on / off switch, which may be an integral part of the scan button 13 or the "Enter" button 22 or via so-called wireless access points in the camp, which the Lagerver - management system at the same time transmit the current status. Similarly, the cancellation can be done after completion of a tour. Depending on the equipment and warehouse management program or operating system, the plausibility of the storage rack space of the current order shown in FIG. 6 may be desired or required before the usually mandatory plausibility check of goods to be removed. After the picker 100 has visited the displayed on the display 30 of the hand-held scanner 10 storage space ... XYZ ..., he scans the local shelf space identifier. If this can be read by means of the hand-held scanner 10, the order-picker 100 is shown on the display 30 that he can next subject the goods to be removed to a plausibility check. If, however, the shelf location identifier is not scannable, it will be prompted to operate the corresponding function key 21 to check the identifier based on displayed data. If the identifier displayed coincides with that which can be found locally, this can be acknowledged by operating the "Enter" button 22. Optionally, if specified by the warehouse management system, one or more plausibility checks can be made, for example, the system requests a plausibility check Thus, after visual inspection of the data to be scanned of an order content, the order-picker 100 can confirm, even without scanning, that non-scannable data matches what is displayed on the display 30. Otherwise, the contradiction is between the displayed and the found ones Data, such as the shelf name displayed and actually visited, the system also communicate, for example, by confirming the "Esc" button, which prompts the order picker 100 to locate the correct shelf space in the camp.

The plausibility check shown in FIG. 7 as an example of the goods to be taken takes place analogously to the plausibility check of the correct shelf space identifier described above. Instead of identifiers attached to the storage area, the bar code of the packaging and / or the article number or the like identifier are scanned in particular. If the data can not be scanned, the entry into the control menu can be made via the same switch key 21, since according to the menu control the correct work step is selected and the corresponding menu item can be selected. So for example, the bar or bar code or a different coded means Scanner 10 readable information on the product packaging can not be scanned, the order picker 100 after confirming the button 21 "not scannable" stored in the warehouse management code of the goods to be removed displayed on the display 30. If this agrees with the on the packaging, acknowledged Otherwise, the order picker 100 has to cancel the process by means of the "Enter" button 22. Otherwise, he has to abort the process again, after which the order-picker 100 is again shown the previous work step.

8 shows, by way of example, the possibility of correcting incorrect or incorrect quantities, in particular of a product to be picked. The menu entry takes place, for example, via a "Qty" button 24. After the activation of the menu-controlled manual quantity correction, two quantity correction buttons 25 and 26 are preferably provided for the program functions "plus" and "minus", with which the actual quantities The acknowledgment is again in particular via the "Enter" key 22.

Alternatively, the program functions "plus" and "minus" could also be integrated in the buttons 28 for scrolling. If the scroll keys 28 are pressed normally, the normal order of picking is left and it is possible, for example. Picking positions are skipped. But if the button 24 "Qty" is pressed first, then the scroll keys 28 could also serve as a "plus" or "minus" function, which saves two separate keys, so that an even clearer control panel 20 and thus more compact scanner 10 is borrowed lent ,

The above-described menu navigation shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 is merely exemplary in its representation and is by no means exhaustive, but can be made far more differentiated in terms of application and system. In particular, special submenu items may also be provided which do not exercise any program function directly, but merely open a further menu level. FIG. 9 shows the hand-held scanner according to FIG. 2 et seq. In a receptacle 70 on a picking trolley 60 as part of a picking system. It is easy to see how the scanner 10 can be inserted in the receptacle 70 on the picking trolley 60, so that the display 30 of the hand-held scanner 10 is well in the sight of a commiser 100, which is different from the state of the art known classic scanners - only due to the back or inclined arrangement of the display 30 to the main scanning axis A of the hand scanner 10 is possible.

As long as the order picker 100 travels to the shelf, it is advantageous if he inserts the scanner 10 in the tray 70 provided on the cart 60. The receptacle 70 for the scanner 10 is preferably designed so that the display 30 of the scanner 10 is always in the field of view of the order picker 100, while this moves to the shelf space. For scanning the shelf space number and / or the barcodes etc. of the goods to be removed, the order picker 100 removes the scanner 10 from the receptacle 70. After having scanned the shelf space and / or the goods etc., it is preferred to place the scanner 10 in one eg on the belt 50 entrained holster 40 insert, so that for the actual removal of the goods, the order picker 100 has both hands free. The holster 40 is preferably formed so that the display 30 of the scanner 10 is always upwards, so that the order picker 100 can make sure at any time with a look at the display 30 and check in which box or section on the picking 60 the To insert goods.

FIG. 10 shows the hand-held scanner according to FIG. 2 ff. As part of a picking system in combination with a picking device 90 arranged on a picking trolley 60 with separate display elements 91, as detailed in DE 10 2007 017 817 B3 or WO 2008/125678 A1 is therefore fully referenced to these documents.

Figures 9 and 10 finally illustrate how the hand-held scanner 10, the order-picking device 90 and / or a warehouse management system with at least a arranged on the picking 60 display device 80 (display and / or professionally associated display means such as LEDs) can be synchronized. Even so, the order picker 100 can always be displayed where he has to deposit picking goods on the picking trolley 60.

The principle realized with the present invention is suitable for all applications in which, in particular, a plausibility check of the removal of a product on the shelf space is specified. A compactly constructed hand-held scanner 10 can be carried along in a belt holster 40. A display 30 arranged on the back of the hand-held scanner 10 always points upward such that the shelf space indicated on the display 30 is quickly and reliably found by the order-picker 100 The removal of the hand-held scanner 10 from the belt pocket 40 takes place only briefly for the scanning.

A correct scan can be confirmed by a beep. If the scan is incorrect, a warning sound can be output and an indication can be made on the display 30.

Finally, it has proven useful to form the handle 12 and / or other housing parts of the hand-held scanner 10 in such a way that the scanner 10 can be parked on a shelf or a picking vehicle 60, for example, without impairing the view of the display 30. Rather, this always shows when the hand-held scanner 10 is turned off to the field of view of the commissio- ner 100.

Finally, the present invention can be boldly summarized as follows:

The order picker 100 optically receives the required information at any time during picking; - The hands remain free for picking;

The hand-held scanner 10 can basically be arranged in a holster 40 attached to the belt 50 and / or in a picking trolley 60 Recording 70 remains and is only needed for plausibility scanning ("shooting from the hip") or for quantity correction, no true wireless installations required - but also not excluded, clear advantages also compared to pick-by-voice:

Optical guidance is better than acoustic guidance,

No "repeat" problems, no learning,

More comfortable working conditions for the co-ordinator 100.
