Abstract

In a method for storing and picking stackable article carriers in an order fulfillment facility, in which transport loading aids are transported between a loading station with an automatically operated loading device, a storage zone and a removal station with an automatically operated unloading device by autonomously moveable, driverless transport vehicles, the transport loading aids are loaded with article carrier stacks in the loading station and the article carrier stacks are discharged from the transport loading aids in the unloading station. Subsequently, the article carriers for a picking order are reloaded onto one or multiple target loading aids. Further, an order fulfillment facility stores and stackable article carriers.
