Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cashier system according to the preamble of claim 1, a method for operating a cashier system and a computer program and a machine-readable storage medium for operating a cashier system. These aspects of the invention serve to create variable size dunnages in a packing zone of the cashier system.
  • a provided for example for use in a supermarket cashier system usually includes a goods receiving device in the form of a conveyor belt, on which a customer can place his goods for the purpose of registration and the subsequent payment. Goods from different customers are separated from each other by so-called goods separators, so that the goods are not confused.
  • the goods are then conveyed by the conveyor belt to a goods detection device, which may be designed, for example, in the form of a tunnel scanner. From the tunnel scanner or other goods detection device, the goods are registered automatically and / or manually by a cashier.
  • the goods After registering, the goods are usually supplied to a goods receiving device downstream goods issue device, the registered goods along a conveyor line in a transport direction in a further Packing zone transported. There, a customer can take the registered goods and pack.
  • Such a cashier system which is also referred to as a checkout terminal, is for example from the WO 2005/084227 A2 known.
  • Another goods receiving device is from the DE 10 2008 044 795 A1 known.
  • the goods receiving device is pronounced there in the form of a conveyor belt and has a plurality of so-called driver and a goods detection device in the form of a tunnel scanner.
  • the carriers are coupled to one another via a plurality of belts and arranged above the conveyor belt.
  • the movement of the composite of belts and carriers is synchronized with the movement of the conveyor belt via a control device.
  • the control device ensures that the conveyor belt and the carriers move with the straps at the same speed, so that the goods are not pushed or braked by the carriers on the conveyor belt.
  • a disadvantage of the prior art cashier systems is that goods of different customers or different shopping carts quickly get mixed up in the packing zone.
  • the packing zone can be divided by manually operated folding beams in usually two separate packing troughs.
  • packing pits created in this way are usually the same size in terms of their area and further limited in number, for example to two packing pits. This solution is not practical, in particular, for self-service checkout systems that are designed to relieve or avoid cashiers.
  • Another goods receiving device is from the FR 2 732 877 known.
  • a single mobile goods separator is movably provided on the conveyor line of the goods receiving device, the mobile goods separator, as the goods are also moved in the transport direction or against the same and can open and close wing door style.
  • the object underlying the present invention is therefore to provide means with which a practicable and efficient use of a packing zone of a cashier system can be achieved.
  • a cashier system according to claim 1 is proposed.
  • the checkout system according to the invention is characterized by a goods issue device which is designed to fix a goods separator on a receiving device of the goods issue device, to subdivide the conveyor line in a Nacher extendedszone for retrieval of goods and in a packing zone for removing goods.
  • the present invention is based on the recognition of determining the number and size of packing pits by the size or quantity of goods to be registered and by the number of shopping carts. If many and each small shopping carts are processed, several smaller packing pits are needed in the packing zone. If individual large shopping carts are processed, then rather less, but larger packing pits are required in the packing zone.
  • the goods separators which are used anyway in the goods receiving device for separating different shopping carts, can also be used to insert the shopping carts in the packing zone of a goods dispensing device of a cashier system.
  • the fixed goods separator can optionally be released automatically or manually, so that it is transported along the conveyor line.
  • bounded pack cavities are produced by the product separators and variable in their respective size. Due to the temporary fixing of the goods separator, it is also easier for a cashier to retrieve goods located in the re-registration zone, which could not be registered by the goods detection device, for example, without mixing goods from different customers or different shopping carts.
  • the cashier system allows efficient use of the packing zone, because the limited by the item separators packing pits size in each case to the amount and size of goods of a shopping cart and thus no pack well more space required than is necessary for a particular basket.
  • the goods detection device which is implemented, for example, in the form of a tunnel scanner, can be continuously utilized for a corresponding customer volume through the efficient use of the packing zone.
  • the cashier system according to the invention achieves a faster customer service compared to conventional cashier systems, which moreover is more customer-friendly than previously known cashier systems, in particular due to the clear delimitation of goods from different shopping carts in the packing zone.
  • the goods separator can be automatically transported to the receiving device or transported there manually, for example by a cashier.
  • the goods separator fixed to the receiving device is released as soon as the subsequent detection of goods of a shopping cart has been successfully completed, so that the released goods separator can unlock along with the other goods on the conveyor line within the packing zone of the goods issue device.
