A system for paperless, self-contained partial case picking of goods in a distribution center for containers (28) subsequently shipped to a customer store. A set of containers (28) is moved along a pick face (18) in a series of move cycles. Operator display units (34) provided at the pick face (18) prompt workers (20) to distribute goods from batches (16) on the pick face (18) to the containers (28). The display units (34) include key entry means (36) and define contiguous put zones for each worker (20) to assign particular batches of goods (16) for each move cycle. In a preferred embodiment, a mobile array of put stations (26) runs along the pick face (18) and is controlled by a computer (32), each put station on the array (26) carrying the display units (34) for assignment of put and pick zones.

L'invention se rapporte à un système pour le triage de marchandises dans un centre de distribution, le triage s'effectuant sans utilisation de listes sur papier et avec remplissage cyclique partiel de conteneurs (28), lesquels sont ensuite expédiés vers les magasins clients. A cet effet, un groupe de conteneurs (28) est déplacé le long d'une face de triage (18) selon une série de cycles de déplacement. Des consoles à écran d'opérateur (34) installées au niveau de la face de triage (18) indiquent aux manutentionnaires (20) comment distribuer dans les conteneurs (28) les marchandises des lots (16) se trouvant sur la face de triage (18). Les consoles à écran (34) comprennent un clavier (36) et définissent des zones de manutention contiguës pour chaque manutentionnaire (20), afin d'attribuer des lots de marchandises (16) particuliers à chaque cycle de déplacement. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, un alignement mobile de postes de manutention (26) s'étend le long de la face de triage (18) et peut être commandé par un ordinateur (32) et chaque poste de manutention de l'alignement (26) porte des consoles à écran (34) pour assurer l'attribution des zones de manutention et de triage.
