Abstract

The invention concerns a method of distributing parcels or other piece goods for delivery to addresses scattered throughout a supra-regional distribution system. The parcels are assembled at at least one depot and forwarded to distribution points from where they are delivered to the addressee by vehicle delivery rounds. In order to make the method more cost-effective and more rapid, the invention calls for the parcels to be grouped in delivery-round assemblies when they are taken to the depot, placed in a particular order corresponding to the course of a delivery round and brought in this order to the distribution points and placed in the vehicles. The container for carrying out the method is designed as a vehicle unit load with at least one closable access opening and preferably with internal shelves enabling parcels to be positioned in the correct order.

Description

Verfahren zur Verteilung von Paketen und Container zur Durchführung des Verfahrens Process for distributing packages and containers to carry out the process
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Verteilung von Paketen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und einen Container zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for distributing packets according to the preamble of claim 1 and a container for performing the method.
Die überkommenen Beförderungssysteme der Bundespost wie auch anderer staatlicher oder privater Paket¬ dienste im In- und Ausland haben perfektionierte und stark vernetzte Verteilersysteme entwickelt, die mit einer Vielzahl von Verteilerdepots und Verteilerlinien eine kosten- und zeitgünstige Be¬ förderung jedes einzelnen Stückguts vom Absender zum Empfänger anstreben. Kosten und Beförderungs¬ dauer sind dabei nur zum Teil durch die Länge der Transportwege bestimmt. In starkem Maße greifen hierbei Handhabungs-, Sortier- und Umschlagzeiten durch, die auch wesentlich in die Kostenrechnung eingehen.The traditional transport systems of the Bundespost as well as other state or private parcel services in Germany and abroad have developed perfected and strongly networked distribution systems which, with a large number of distribution depots and distribution lines, provide cost-effective and cost-effective transport of each piece goods from sender to recipient strive for. Costs and transportation times are only partially determined by the length of the transport routes. Handling, sorting and handling times have a strong impact, and they also have a significant impact on cost accounting.
Ausgeklügelte und vielmaschig vernetzte Systeme erweisen sich dabei auch als wenig flexibel im Hinblick auf internationale Ausweitungen von Ge¬ bieten, etwa der gemeinsamen Markt in Europa ein¬ hergehenden Art. Eine Ausweitung nach herkömmlicher Art führt zu einer unvorteilhaften Vervielfachung von Verteil- und Umschlagstationen, die jedes Paket oder dgl. Stückgut zu durchlaufen hat.Sophisticated and multi-meshed systems They also prove to be not very flexible with regard to international expansion of areas, such as the common market in Europe. An expansion in the conventional manner leads to an unfavorable multiplication of distribution and transshipment stations that each package or the like. General cargo has to go through.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren zur Verteilung von Paketen zu schaffen, welches es gestattet, die Verteilung von Paketen u. dgl. Stück¬ gütern wirtschaftlicher und schneller zu gestalten und insbesondere auch die Erschließung weiterer Regionen über die im wesentlichen national oder regional begrenzten Gebiete hinaus erleichtert. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es weiterhin, einen Container zur Durchführung des Verfahrens zu schaffen.The object of the invention is to provide a method for distributing packets, which allows the distribution of packets and. The like. To make piece goods more economical and faster and, in particular, to open up other regions beyond the essentially national or regional boundaries. The object of the invention is also to create a container for carrying out the method.
Die vorstehende Aufgabe wird von einem Verfahren nachdem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ausgehend mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Verfahrens gelöst. Dieses Verfahren geht von dem Grundgedanken einer engmaschigen Vernetzung von Stationen und Linien ab und sieht eine starke zentralisierte Verteilung vor, bei der das zu verteilende Transportgut zu einem Depot oder jedenfalls zu wenigen, weitreichend wirkenden Zentraldepots zusammengeführt und"dort bereits definitiv in auslieferungsgerechte Einheiten mit untereinander auslieferungsgerechter Zuordnung zusammengefaßt wird. Dabei entstehen Tourensätze, die als Ganzes vom Zentraldepot an Verteilerstellen geliefert, in den Verteilerstellen auf Fahrzeuge umgesetzt und in der bereits im Depot vorgesehenen Reihenfolge einer Tour ausgeliefert werden.The above object is achieved by a method based on the preamble of claim 1 with the characterizing features of the method. This procedure starts from the basic idea of a close-knit network of stations and lines and provides for a strong centralized distribution, in which the transport goods to be distributed are brought together to form a depot or at least a few, far-reaching central depots and "there already definitely in delivery-oriented units with each other Delivery records are grouped together, resulting in tour sets that are delivered as a whole from the central depot to distribution points, converted to vehicles in the distribution points, and delivered in the order already specified in the depot for a tour.
Entscheidende Vorteile gegenüber herkömmlichen vielstufigen Verteilungsverfahren ergeben sich insbesondere in der Einsparung an Handhabungsauf¬ wand. Ein Paket wird nicht ggf. mehrfach erfaßt, dirigiert, umgeladen und weitergeleitet und nicht erst an der Verteilerstelle in einen der Reihenfolge einer Tour entsprechende Platzierung eingeordnet, sondern geht vom Depot über die Verteilerstelle in der vorgegebenen Sortierung auf die Auslie- ferungs-Tour.Decisive advantages over conventional ones multistage distribution processes result in particular in the saving in handling effort. A package may not be recorded several times, directed, reloaded and forwarded, and not placed in a position corresponding to the order of a tour at the distribution point, but goes from the depot via the distribution point in the specified sorting to the delivery tour.
Es versteht sich dabei, daß der Transport der Tourensätze von einem Depot zu den Verteilerstellen vorzugsweise mit Großfahrzeugen erfolgt, die eine Mehrzahl von Tourensätzen gleichzeitig ausfahren und einzeln oder in Gruppen bei den Verteilerstellen übergeben.It goes without saying that the transport of the tour sets from a depot to the distribution points is preferably carried out by large vehicles which extend a plurality of tour sets simultaneously and hand them over individually or in groups to the distribution points.
Vorzugsweise erfolgt die Zusammenfassung der Stück¬ güter zu Tourensätzen in Form einer Einlagerung in Container, die eine besonders gut maschinell - z.B. durch Gabelstapler, handhabbare Einheit schaffen und dabei eine wiederverwendbare "Ver¬ packung" bilden, die aber insbesondere auch als Aufsatz für ein Verteilerfahrzeug ausgebildet sein können, womit der Vorteil der auslieferungsgerechten Zuordnung im Depot eine besonders konsequente Durch¬ gestaltung findet.The piece goods are preferably combined into tour sets in the form of storage in containers, which are particularly well automated - e.g. create a manageable unit using forklift trucks and thereby form a reusable "packaging", which, however, can also be designed in particular as an attachment for a distribution vehicle, so that the advantage of the assignment in the depot according to the delivery has a particularly consistent design.
Weiterhin versteht es sich, daß solche Container an den Verteilerstellen auch gleichzeitig ange¬ lieferte Pakete aufnehmen können, die auf dem Rück¬ weg zu einem Depot im Sinne der zentralen Zusammen¬ führung in vorteilhafter Weise als Rückfracht transportiert werden können. Damit sind die Ver¬ teilerstellen zweckmäßigerweise auch wieder in der Lage, als Sammelstellen "vor Ort" zu dienen. Damit eine Auslieferungstour ohne Verzögerung, Vorarbeiten und Tourplanungen beginnen kann, wird dem Tourensatz bereits depotseitig eine Ausliefe¬ rungsliste beigegeben, die nicht nur Auslieferungs¬ adressen, Paketbezeichnung und dgl. absenderseitig vorgegebene Informationen enthält, sondern auch eine die Plazierung des einzelnen Pakets im Touren¬ satz kenntlich macht. Dies erleichtert und be¬ schleunigt die Auslieferungsarbeit.Furthermore, it goes without saying that such containers at the distribution points can also receive packages which have been delivered at the same time and which can advantageously be transported as return freight on the way back to a depot in the sense of central consolidation. The distribution points are thus expediently able to serve as collection points "on site". So that a delivery tour can begin without delay, preparatory work and tour planning, a delivery list is already added to the tour set at the depot, which not only contains delivery addresses, package names and the like identifies sentence. This makes delivery work easier and faster.
Insbesondere aber ist für die Vereinfachung und Beschleunigung der Auslieferung wichtig, daß bereits im Depot eine systematische Zuordnung der Pakete oder sonstiger Stückgüter vorgegeben wird, die der Zugänglichkeit des Pakets und der Auslieferungs¬ folge entspricht. Auf diese Weise kann der Auslie- ferer ohne Sucharbeit zu dem nächstauszuliefernden Paket gelangen.In particular, however, for simplifying and accelerating delivery, it is important that a systematic assignment of the packages or other general cargo is specified in the depot, which corresponds to the accessibility of the package and the delivery sequence. In this way, the deliverer can get to the next package to be delivered without searching.
Die Zuordnung innerhalb eines Containers läßt sich in besonders vorteilhafter Weise durch einheitlich gestaltete Regale, die untereinander auch im Sinne einer Reihenfolge zugeordnet sind, erreichen. Die depotseitige Zuordnung der Pakete untereinander gestattet es aber auch, einen Container restlos zu befüllen. Wenn nämlich die beim Öffnen des Con¬ tainers nächstgelegenen Pakete auch jene sind, die zuerst zur Auslieferung gelangen, schadet es nichts, wenn erst am Ende einer Tour auszuliefernde Pakete unzugänglich "verbaut" sind.The assignment within a container can be achieved in a particularly advantageous manner by uniformly designed shelves which are also assigned to one another in the sense of a sequence. The assignment of the packages to each other at the depot also allows a container to be filled completely. If the parcels closest when the container is opened are also those that arrive first, there is no harm if the parcels to be delivered are inaccessible only at the end of a tour.
Ein solches System setzt allerdings eine zentrale Erfassung von Touren, ausgehend von den Verteiler¬ stellen, voraus und darüber hinaus eine zentrale Erfassung der Adressaten zumindest im Sinne einer tourspezifischen Reihenfolge. Erst mit entsprechen¬ den Vorarbeiten ist es möglich, in einem zentralen Depot Pakete nach Touren peripherer Verteilerstellen auszuwählen und innerhalb der Touren die Adressaten aufzureihen. Vorarbeiten dieser Art sind allerdings aufgrund der Ortskenntnisse des Personals an den Verteilerstellen und anhand der Möglichkeiten der Computerspeicherung mit vertretbarem Aufwand durch¬ führbar.However, such a system requires a central recording of tours, starting from the distribution points, and furthermore a central recording of the addressees, at least in the sense of a tour-specific sequence. It is only possible with appropriate preparatory work in a central Select depot packages according to tours of peripheral distribution points and line up the addressees within the tours. However, preparatory work of this type can be carried out with reasonable effort on the basis of the local knowledge of the personnel at the distribution points and on the basis of the possibilities for computer storage.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabenstellung wird erfindungsgemäß weiterhin ein Container in Form eines verladbaren Fahrzeug-Aufsatzes mit zumindest einer schließbaren Zugangsöffnung vorgeschlagen, indem die Pakete depotseitig in einer für die Auslieferungstour bestimmten Zuordnung plaziert sind und der als Einheit für einen Tourensatz vom Depot zu einer Verteilerstelle verfrachtet werden kann, wo er auf ein Auslieferungs-Fahrzeug aufsetzbar ist und eine Auslieferungs-Tour ohne weiteres durchzuführen ermöglicht.To solve the problem, a container in the form of a loadable vehicle attachment with at least one lockable access opening is further proposed according to the invention, in that the packages are placed on the depot side in an assignment intended for the delivery tour and are shipped as a unit for a tour set from the depot to a distribution point can where it can be placed on a delivery vehicle and enables a delivery tour to be carried out without further notice.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird nachfolgend näher beschrieben. In der Zeichnung zeigen:An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below. The drawing shows:
Fig. 1 Grundrißschema eines Depots,1 is a floor plan of a depot,
Fig. 2 Sattelaufliefer-Lastkraftwagen mit sechs Containern, Fig. 3 Außenansicht eines Einzelcontairiers, Fig. 4 schnittbildliche Darstellung eines Containers zur Innenaufteilung und Fig. 5 Auslieferungs-Fahrzeug mit Einzel¬ container.2 a semitrailer truck with six containers, FIG. 3 an external view of a single container, FIG. 4 a sectional representation of a container for interior division, and FIG. 5 delivery vehicle with a single container.
Das in Fig. 1 insgesamt mit 1 bezeichnete Depot weist eine zentrale Anlieferschiene 2 und zwölf jeweils gegenläufig davon abzweigende Zweig¬ schienen 3 auf, die endseitig mit Andockstellen für Lastkraftwagen versehen sind, wie sie beispiels¬ weise in Form eines Aufsattel-Lastkraftwagens nach Fig. 2 vorstellbar sind. Es versteht sich, daß hier in gleicher Weise Motorwagen oder Anhänger angedockt werden können. Jede der Zweigschienen hat zwei Reihen für jeweils 6 Plätze für Container 5, von denen jeder nur mit Stückgut für eine bestimmte einzelne Auslieferungs-Tour im Be¬ reich einer möglicherweise sehr weit entfernten Verteilerstelle bestimmt ist.The depot, designated overall by 1 in FIG. 1, has a central delivery rail 2 and twelve branch rails 3, each branching in opposite directions therefrom, the ends of which have docking points are provided for trucks, such as are conceivable in the form of a semi-trailer truck according to FIG. 2. It is understood that motor vehicles or trailers can be docked here in the same way. Each of the branch rails has two rows for 6 places each for container 5, each of which is intended only for general cargo for a specific individual delivery tour in the area of a possibly very distant distribution point.
Mehrere dieser Container 5, im einfachsten Falle eine Reihe zu einer Seite einer der Zweigschienen 3,werden auf ein Lastfahrzeug 6 (Fig. 2) verladen und ggf. über hunderte von Kilometern zu einer Verteilerstelle gefahren, die grundsätzlich keine aufwendigen Einrichtungen zu beinhalten braucht. Die Verteilerstelle ist insbesondere der Übernahme¬ punkt für Container 5, die einzeln von dem Last¬ kraftwagen 6 auf ein Tour-Fahrzeug 7 umgesetzt werden, was beispielsweise mittels eines Gabelstap¬ lers oder eines anderen geeigneten Ladewerkzeugs geschehen kann.Several of these containers 5, in the simplest case a row to one side of one of the branch rails 3, are loaded onto a truck 6 (FIG. 2) and, if necessary, traveled over hundreds of kilometers to a distribution point, which in principle does not need to contain any complex facilities. The distribution point is, in particular, the take-over point for containers 5, which are converted individually from the truck 6 to a tour vehicle 7, which can be done, for example, by means of a forklift or another suitable loading tool.
Der Fahrer des Fahrzeugs 7 erhält dabei in einem Begleitpapier alle für ihn wichtigen Angaben, so die genaue Bezeichnung der Tour, wenn verschiedene Touren von der Verteilerstelle aus in Betracht kommen, die einzelnen Lieferadressen für die auszu¬ liefernden Pakete oder Stückgüter und insbesondere auch eine Angabe, an welcher Stelle im Container das Paket plaziert ist.In an accompanying document, the driver of vehicle 7 receives all the information that is important to him, such as the exact name of the tour, if different tours are considered from the distribution point, the individual delivery addresses for the packages or piece goods to be delivered and, in particular, information where the package is placed in the container.
Darüber hinaus ist schon die Anordnung der Pakete im Container systematisiert, und zwar so, daß die Pakete im Container im Verlauf der Tour jeweils zugänglich sind, vorzugsweise sogar der Reihenfolge nach jeweils als nächstes bereitstehen.In addition, the arrangement of the packages in the container is already systematized in such a way that the packages in the container are accessible during the tour, preferably even in the order be ready next.
Der Container 5 gemäß Fig. 3 ist eine vorgegebene feste Einheit, die an die standardisierten und an Verkehrs- und Zulassungsbedingungen geknüpf¬ ten Abmessungen für große Lastwagen beim Ferntrans¬ port zu den Verteilerstellen angepaßt ist. Boden- seitige Verrastungen ermöglichen ein leichtes Ver¬ setzen eines solchen Containers im Depot, auf einen LKW und/oder ein Auslieferfahrzeug. Vorzugsweise sind auch die Auslieferfahrzeuge 7, wie Fig. 5 andeutet, für den Transport solcher Container ma߬ geschneidert, vor allem mit kleineren Rädern an der Hinterachse, die eine niedrige Ladehöhe und damit einen bequemen Zugang zum Container 5 ermög¬ lichen.The container 5 according to FIG. 3 is a predetermined fixed unit which is adapted to the standardized dimensions for large trucks during long-distance transport to the distribution points, which are linked to traffic and approval conditions. Latches on the ground side enable such a container to be easily moved in the depot, onto a truck and / or a delivery vehicle. 5, the delivery vehicles 7 are preferably tailor-made for the transport of such containers, especially with smaller wheels on the rear axle, which enable a low loading height and thus convenient access to the container 5.
Der Container 5 ist mit einer Zugangsöffnung 8 versehen, die durch ein Rolltor 9 zu schließen ist. Das Rolltor 9 schafft sowohl im Depot 1 wie auch auf dem Auslieferfahrzeug 7 eine platzsparend zu öffnende Tür, die auch einfach mit einem Motor¬ antrieb versehen werden kann.The container 5 is provided with an access opening 8 which can be closed by a roller door 9. The roller door 9 creates a space-saving opening in the depot 1 as well as on the delivery vehicle 7, which can also be easily provided with a motor drive.
Wie Fig. 4 zeigt, ist die (schematische) Innenein¬ teilung eines Containers insbesondere durch Regale gegeben, die den Innenraum in Regalfächer 10 bis 17 gliedern und die so beschickt sind, daß d*ie Regalfächer 10 auch in dieser Reihenfolge, d.h. beginnend mit Regalfach 10 und endend mit Regal¬ fach 17 während der Tour entleert werden. Die Regal¬ fächer sind durch Regalböden bestimmt, die in Form hochklappbarer Regalböden 18 oder feststehender Regalböden 19 ausgebildet sein können. Die beweg¬ lichen Regalböden, hier also die nach oben an eine seitliche Innenwand 20 heranklappbaren Regalbδden 18, gestatten es, mit zunehmender Entleerung eines Containers 5 Bewegungsraum im Container zu schaffen, womit die Arbeit erleichtert wird.As Fig. 4 shows the (schematic) Innenein¬ is division of a container where in particular by shelves that divide the inner space into shelves 10 to 17 and which are charged such that d * ie shelves 10 in that order, ie starting with Shelf 10 and ending with shelf 17 to be emptied during the tour. The shelves are determined by shelves, which can be designed in the form of fold-up shelves 18 or fixed shelves 19. The movable shelves, in this case the shelves 18 that can be folded upwards against a lateral inner wall 20, allow one with increasing emptying Containers 5 To create space in the container, which makes work easier.
Grundsätzlich ist zu berücksichtigen, daß ein solcher Container 5 bei systematischer Beschickung nicht nur im Bereich der Regalfächer, sondern auch in dem für den Zugang zu den Regalfächern notwendi¬ gen Gangbereich zwischen den Regalfächern befüllt werden kann. Die Entleerung erfolgt also zunächst von außen von der Zugangsöffnung 9 her fortschrei¬ tend nach innen.Basically, it must be taken into account that such a container 5 can be filled not only in the area of the shelf compartments, but also in the aisle area between the shelf compartments necessary for access to the shelf compartments, in the case of systematic loading. The emptying therefore initially takes place from the outside progressively inward from the access opening 9.
Dies alles setzt allerdings ein logistisches Konzept voraus, bei dem die Auslieferungstour, die üblicher¬ weise nur eine Tagestour im Nahbereich einer Ver¬ teilerstelle umfaßt, bereits bei der Beladung des Containers in einem ggf. weit entfernten zentralen Depot festgelegt wird. Auch wenn örtliche Verkehrs¬ störungen oder Umleitungen zum Umdisponieren im Einzelfall einer Auslieferung Anlaß geben können, ist eine solche Tour nicht im ganzen verlegbar oder umkehrbar. Bei den besagten kleinen Störfällen ist aber die systematische und schematische Be¬ schickung des Containers keineswegs problematisch, sondern unterstützt auch dabei einen einfachen, gut überschaubaren und problemlosen Arbeitsgang.However, all of this presupposes a logistical concept in which the delivery tour, which usually comprises only a day tour in the vicinity of a distribution point, is already determined when the container is loaded in a central depot which may be a long way away. Even if local traffic disruptions or detours can give rise to rescheduling in individual cases, such a tour cannot be relocated or reversed as a whole. In the case of the small incidents mentioned, the systematic and schematic loading of the container is by no means problematic, but also supports a simple, easy-to-understand and problem-free operation.
Zusätzliche Sicherheit wird durch die gleichfalls im Depot erstellte Auslieferungsliste geschaffen, die es ermöglicht, Abweichungen von der Zuordnung (vgl. Fig. 5) nach der schematischen Reihenfolge vorzusehen, wenn etwa einzelne Pakete aufgrund ihrer Abmessungen oder ihres Gewichts nicht in einem Regalfach, sondern anderweitig Platz finden sollen. Additional security is provided by the delivery list that is also created in the depot, which makes it possible to provide deviations from the assignment (cf. Should find space.
