Abstract
The invention relates to a storage and order picking system with a storage unit, comprising a plurality of through-flow channels for receiving storage containers for storing articles, an order picking unit having one or more dispensing areas for removing articles and one or more target areas for the order-related or partially order-related collection of articles, a conveyor unit for conveying storage containers between the storage unit and the order picking unit, wherein the storage unit has a self-supporting frame structure on which the order picking unit and the conveyor unit are attached such that they are detachably connected to one another. The modular storage and order picking system is built, brought into service and tested preferably in an installation location, then modularly dismantled and brought to an application location, where it is then brought into service by assembling the modules. A bringing into service and test phase in the application location can be forgone due to the above-mentioned test phase, so that the system is functional and ready for operation within a few hours. In addition, the modular structure of the storage and order picking system according to th…
