Safety system for automated storage and picking system and method of operation

摘要

A safety system for an automated storage and picking system is described. The storage system includes a loading handling device that operates on a series of stacked containers, wherein the stacked containers (10) are positioned within a framework, the top of which is a loading handling device (30). It has a track on which it operates. The security system includes a transmitter located in close proximity to the storage system and a receiver located at each of the loading and handling devices. The transmitter continuously transmits signals detected by the receiver on the loading handling device (30). In case of emergency or storage system failure, the transmission of the signal is cut off. Once the receiver no longer receives the signal from the transmitter, power to the driving means of the loading handling device (30) is cut off and the storage system is secure.
