CA 2569488

The invention relates to a method for transporting goods (2) by means of at least one vehicle that can be autonomously displaced in a store. Said method is characterised by a combination of the following elements: a vehicle (8) provided with a computing unit (7) receives, preferably by radio, at least one instruction relating to a) a product (2) to be fetched or delivered, and/or b) a target location e.g. a storage area (1) in the store, and/or c) a path to be covered. According to the invention, the computing unit (7) of the vehicle (8) establishes the target location and optimum or approximately optimum route for the instruction a), and the optimum or approximately optimum route for the instruction b), and starts the displacement transaction for the instructions a) or b) or c). The vehicle (8) is activated by the computing unit (7) at the target location, in such a way as to automatically receive or deliver the product (2) or to load or unload the same, whereupon optionally, if another instruction is provided, another product (2) is fetched or the loaded product is guided to another target location defined in an instruction relating to a), b) and/or c).

L'invention concerne un procédé pour transporter des marchandises (2) au moyen d'au moins un véhicule se déplaçant de façon autonome dans un entrepôt. L'invention est caractérisée en ce qu'un véhicule (8) équipé d'une unité de calcul (7) reçoit au moins un ordre, de préférence par radio, cet ordre concernant a) une marchandise (2) à prélever ou à livrer, et/ou b) une destination, par ex. un emplacement (1) dans l'entrepôt, et/ou c) un itinéraire parcouru. Selon l'invention, l'unité de calcul (7) du véhicule (8) fixe, pour l'ordre a) la destination et l'itinéraire optimal ou approchant, pour l'ordre b) l'itinéraire optimal ou approchant, et elle lance, pour les ordres a), b) ou c), la transaction de déplacement. Sur le lieu de destination, le véhicule (8) est activé par l'unité de calcul (7) et, de manière autonome, il charge ou décharge la marchandise (2) ou bien il est chargé ou déchargé de la marchandise (2). En présence d'un ordre supplémentaire, une autre marchandise (2) est prélevée ou bien la marchandise chargée est acheminée vers une autre destination définie dans ledit ordre conformément à a), b) et/ou c).
