Abstract

To prepare frozen products for delivery, to meet orders, a batch of the products is selected automatically at the main deep freeze store (2) where they are held at a very low temperature, and passed to a forwarding stage (30). The temperature at the forwarding stage is at a higher temperature, just below freezing, for the required amount of products to be separated, and the surplus is returned (50) to the deep freeze store. The selected products are passed to a sorting stage (8) at a temperature just below freezing, where an operative breaks them down into pallets for the separate orders for dispatch (100).

La presente invention se rapporte au domaine de la gestion de stock de produits surgeles et  The present invention relates to the field of stock management of frozen products and

de preparation de commandes de produits surgeles.  preparation of orders for frozen products.

La presente invention se rapporte plus particulierement a un procede de preparation d' au moins un ensemble de produits surgeles, ledit ensemble correspondent a une commande issue d'un commanditaire et etant destine a etre livre a un destinataire, lesdits produits surgeles etant stockes a l'interieur dun lieu de stockage principal en ambiance cite de << froid intense >>, ctest-a-dire a une temperature de  The present invention relates more particularly to a method for preparing at least one set of frozen products, said set corresponds to a command from a sponsor and is intended to be delivered to a consignee, said frozen products being stored at the same time. interior of a main storage place in an environment referred to as "intense cold", that is to say at a temperature of

l'ordre de -25 C a -30 C, par categoric de produit.  the order of -25 C to -30 C, by product category.

L'art anterieur connalt deja des procedes de preparation d'au moins un ensemble de produits surgeles. Beaucoup de procedes de l'art anterieur vent bases sur le principe suivant: << la commande va chercher le produit >>. C'est le cas notamment des methodes cites de << picking >> ou << ramassage >> et de  The prior art already knows processes for preparing at least one set of frozen products. Many prior art methods are based on the following principle: << the order will pick up the product >>. This is particularly true of the methods referred to as "picking" or "picking" and

leurs variantes.their variants.

L'art anterieur connalt egalement la methode de la ventilation qui repose sur le principe  The prior art also knows the method of ventilation which is based on the principle

inverse: << le produit est dirige vers la commande >>.  inverse: << the product is directed to the order >>.

Dans cette derriere methode, les produits receptionnes vent tries par reference. Ensuite le preparateur prend chaque reference une a une et va disposer les produits sur les supports d' expedition de commande correspondents. Une fois que toutes les references ont ete ventilees toutes les commandes vent pretest Les produits en stock vent ramasses de facon globale pour etre egalement ventiles reference  In this latter method, the products received are sorted by reference. Then the preparer takes each reference one by one and will arrange the products on the corresponding order shipping media. Once all the references have been broken down, all the orders are ready. The products in stock are collected in a global way to be also ventilated.

Un inconvenient majeur de ces procedes est qu'ils necessitent tous une manipulation des produits stockes dans le lieu de stockage principal par des operateurs humains. Cette tache est particulierement penible, en raison de la temperature tres froide qui regne dans le lieu de stockage principal. D'ailleurs, les operateurs travaillant en ambiance cite << froid intense >> vent soumis a des regles particulieres et ne travaillent, en general, que les cinq sixieme de leur  A major disadvantage of these methods is that they all require handling of the products stored in the main storage location by human operators. This task is particularly painful, due to the very cold temperature prevailing in the main storage area. Moreover, the operators working in an environment called "intense cold" are subject to specific rules and usually work only five-sixths of their time.

Il est possible de prevoir une automatisation de cette manipulation pour choisir la quantite juste necessaire, mais ces equipements, lorsqu'ils vent concus pour travailler en ambiance  It is possible to foresee an automation of this manipulation to choose the quantity just necessary, but these equipments, when they are designed to work in ambience

<< froid intense >> vent tres couteux a realiser.  << intense cold >> wind very expensive to achieve.

La presente invention entend remedier aux inconvenients de l'art anterieur en proposant un systeme de preparation de commandes dans loquel les produits vent deplaces pour un court instant en ambiance << froid leger >>, c'est-a-dire a une temperature legerement au-dessus de 0 C, de l'ordre de 2 C a 5 C, le temps qutun operateur humain selectionne juste la quantite necessaire et dans lequel les produits vent immediatement renvoyes en ambiance << froid intense >>, soit s'ils ont ete selectionnes, afin de concevoir des commandes, soit s'ils n'ont pas ete selectionnes, pour retourner dans le lieu de  The present invention intends to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a system of order preparation in which the products are moved for a short time in "cold light" atmosphere, that is to say at a slightly temperature above 0 C, in the order of 2 C to 5 C, the time that a human operator selects just the quantity needed and in which the products are immediately returned to an "intense cold" environment, that is, if they have selected, in order to design orders, or if they have not been selected, to return to the place of

stockage principal.main storage.

Pour ce faire, la presente invention est du type decrit ci-dessus et elle est remarquable, dans son acception la plus large, en ce que le procede comporte au moins les etapes de: - acheminement automatique desdits produits surgeles, par categoric, dans un lieu de selection en ambiance cite de << froid leger >>, afin de permettre une selection de la quantite necessaire de chaque produit de chaque categoric pour chaque commande, par un operateur; - selection des produits surgeles par ledit operateur; retour automatique des produits surgeles non selectionnes vers ledit lieu de stockage principal; - acheminement des produits surgeles selectionnes dans un lieu de reconstitution en ambiance cite de << froid leger >>, afin de permettre une reconstitution de chaque commande, par un operateur; reconstitution de chaque commande par ledit operateur;  To do this, the present invention is of the type described above and is remarkable, in its broadest sense, in that the method comprises at least the steps of: - automatic routing of said frozen products, categoric, in a place of selection in a "cold light" atmosphere, in order to allow a selection of the necessary quantity of each product of each category for each order, by an operator; - selection of frozen products by said operator; automatic return of non-selected frozen products to said main storage location; - delivery of frozen products selected in a place of reconstitution in a "cold light" atmosphere, in order to allow a reconstruction of each order, by an operator; reconstitution of each command by said operator;
