Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for detecting and sorting goods in a collaborative system and to a system for carrying out the method according to the invention.
- the delivery of goods in business transactions between companies does not follow a standardized procedure.
- the goods are delivered in different ways depending on the type of goods and the scope of the delivery. This concerns the type of means of transport as well as the packaging and packaging of the goods themselves.
- goods are delivered in containers, in swap bodies or in trucks, the goods being sorted, unsorted, loose, bundled or otherwise packed and / or packed.
- the aim of the delivery of the goods is to unload the goods as quickly as possible in order to minimize downtime of the means of transport.
- the quality of the goods is to be checked and a target and actual comparison made between the delivery note target and the goods receipt actual.
- the unloaded goods must be stored. Ideally, this entire process from the delivery of the goods to their storage fluently, computer-aided, largely automated and robot-assisted.
- the subject matter of the present invention is, in particular, a process for goods which are delivered substantially non-palletized and whose incoming inspection essentially requires a sighting or at least detection of each individual piece or each packing unit.
- a process for goods which are delivered substantially non-palletized and whose incoming inspection essentially requires a sighting or at least detection of each individual piece or each packing unit.
- the delivery of car tires is essentially not palletized.
- the car tires are loaded more or less ordered, often in a "stratified” stratification, but so delivered car tires can not be unloaded automatically.This is also due to the fact that the known stacking patterns can change during transport, which even when ordered the exact position of a tire during unloading process is no longer definitive determinable.
- robots can not be used for unloading, goods receiving, quality control and warehousing even if the goods are ordered.
- Car tires are often delivered in truck trailers.
- One trailer holds 1, 000 or more tires.
- a typical load usually consists of car tires from different manufacturers, sizes, types, etc.
- the work to be done is physically difficult and especially the incoming goods inspection is prone to errors, since the type designations on the car tires are often difficult to read.
- An at least partially automated and robot-assisted method is currently unknown.
- the system according to the invention for sorting loose car tires of different manufacturers and dimensions essentially comprises the following method steps:
- the delivery note is preferably recorded computer-assisted, for example by scanning and subsequent text recognition by means of OCR and / or evaluation of existing barcodes. From the details of the delivery note can The EDPs use a programmable algorithm to calculate which type and number of load carriers have to be made available for delivery. Corresponding load carriers are assigned for sorting and / or palletizing the delivery.
- the loading of the first conveyor line unit is done manually. For this purpose, preferably a commercially available movable telescopic conveyor with scissor lift to the unloading car tires, usually in the trailer used for delivery procedure. The tires are then singulated manually and placed one after another on the first end of the conveyor belt.
- a scanning unit which scans the respective car tires with an opto-electrical method. Based on the scan, various specifications of the scanned car tire can be determined and compared with a database and the details on the delivery note.
- the specifications to be captured may include, for example, tire manufacturer, tire size, tire type, tire model, date of manufacture, and / or direction information. The recording of further specifications is conceivable and can be adapted to the respective requirements.
- the determined and possibly adjusted specifications of the scanned tire are forwarded by the scanning unit to the distribution station.
- the scanned product can be labeled.
- the label can consist of a simple barcode without any further information printed on it, but it is also conceivable that the scanned product will be provided with a comprehensive data label containing the data from the scan, comparison with a database, the acquired dimensions and so on.
- Corresponding labels can be automated, for example by a label machine, attached to the goods in the process at any point after step E).
- the label may also be electronic signatures, etc. It is particularly important that the Labeling the respective product clearly with the belonging to it, by the computer-recorded data connects.
- the scan unit is followed by another conveyor unit.
- the scanned car tires automatically reach this further conveying line unit, which is preferably a chain conveyor.
- the scanned tires reach this at least one distribution station via this further conveyor unit.
- the decision is made at the distribution station on which subsequent conveyor unit the tire is distributed. Among other things, this takes into account which still available space is suitable for the corresponding tire charge carriers.
- the distribution station can be followed by two or more conveyor units. It is conceivable that one of the adjoining conveyor unit alone serves for the sorting out of car tires which do not correspond to the details on the delivery note or the defined quality requirements.
- the number of conveyor units leading to the sorting robots can be arbitrarily selected and expanded according to the requirements.
- the scanned tires reach the sorting robots which grasp the respective tires of the further conveyor line unit and palletize it in the load carrier assigned to the tire, wherein the tires are preferably stored in a stratified layer manner.
- the sorting robots are preferably electronically controllable, movable 6-axis articulated robots, these preferably being movable on a 7th axis (linear axis).
- the different demands on the robot according to other sorting robot are conceivable, so For example, from above working and movable over three portal axes gantry robot.
- Other robot systems are known in the art.
- a programmable logic controller operating according to the EVA principle is preferably used.
- the embodiment is limited to car tires, the invention is practically applicable to all kinds of goods.
- the system can be used for all industrial and consumer goods which are transported and / or processed and / or labeled and / or packaged and / or palletized and / or archived in any form, for example by EDP and / or robots and / or or to be verified.
- the system is very flexible.
- a first distribution station connects directly to the scanning unit and, for example, a first selection of the delivered goods takes place here.
- goods could already be rejected here that do not pass the incoming inspection.
- goods could be separated out here whose further sorting process deviates from that of the other goods, since they are particularly sensitive, valuable, etc.
- the load carriers are part of a pallet changing system.
- the pallet changing system is another way of increasing efficiency.
- the system saves manpower and relieves employees of physically demanding work.
- the electronic recording of the delivered goods with a scan unit reduces human errors in the incoming goods inspection.
- a system-integrated weight check, volume check and / or color sorting can also be carried out.
- the scan of the goods for example by checking against the entries of a database can be tested for product authenticity and so the protection against counterfeiting can be increased.
- a counterfeit or goods not identified according to the requirements can be automatically sorted out for follow-up if necessary.
- tracking and locating (track and trace) of the detected goods is possible at any time with the method according to the invention.
- This makes the system interesting for all industrial and consumer goods requiring proof (chemicals, medicines, ...), all disposal processes requiring proof of disposal (proof of disposal) or goods requiring legal retracement (eg civil explosives).
- the system is advantageous for all goods, for which a high transparency of the supply chain must be given.
- the system can be adapted to a wide variety of goods, for example by using suitable scanning units.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a preferred embodiment
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a system for carrying out the method according to the invention with a trailer 1, in which the goods 2 to be unloaded are located.
- the goods 2 are placed singly on the first end of the first conveyor line unit 3.
- the first conveyor line unit 3 is preferably a telescopic conveyor. On this enter the goods 2 in the scanning unit 4, recorded in the most diverse specifications of the respective product 2 as needed and can be adjusted if necessary with stored in a database specifications.
- the goods 2 run on a second conveyor line unit 5, which is preferably a jam conveyor.
- the goods 2 are provided on this second conveyor line unit 5 by a label machine 6 with a label which connects the respective product 2 with the data stored for it.
- the goods 2 reach the distribution station 7.
- the distribution station 7 decides on the basis of the data transmitted by the scanning unit 4 and a programmable algorithm which further conveyor line unit 8a, b, c the goods should arrive. This depends, for example, on which charge carrier 10 the respective product is ultimately to be brought into.
- the information in which load carrier 10 the respective product 2 is to be loaded is transmitted from the distribution station 7 to a responsible sorting robot 9.
- the product 2 is loaded by the responsible sorting robot 9 into the assigned load carrier 10.
- Goods 2 which are not to be loaded into a load carrier 10 but to be sorted out can, for example, be distributed to a special further conveyor line unit 8b and collected for post-processing.
- At least the scanning unit 4 is connected to a computer system 11.
- the specifications determined from the scan can be compared with the specifications stored in a database.
- the system can also be connected to other components such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) of the company via EDP.
- ERP Enterprise Resource Planning
- Fig. 2 shows a further preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, as it is particularly suitable for the unloading and sorting of tires.
- the tires 2 are placed by a trailer 1 on a telescopic conveyor 3.
- a DOT code scanner 4 the relevant data of the tires 2 are collected and adjusted, if necessary, with a specification stored in a database.
- the tires 2 pass through an accumulation conveyor line 5 through a labeling station 6, in which they are "labeled" according to their identification
- the tires are allocated either to a ring conveyor 8a or to an outfeed 8b 8b discharge come out tires that were recognized as defective or not sufficiently specification.
- the ring conveyor section 8a is located below the plane of the telescope and accumulation conveyor section and allocates the individual tires 2 according to their "labeling" to individual discharge stations 13.
- the sorting system has a control unit 1 1 and optionally a measuring device 14, in which the tires are measured before their introduction into the scanner 4 on their dimensional accuracy.
- the conveyor line is flanked by a platform 12 for maintenance purposes.
- control unit 1 1 1 EDP system, control unit
