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.
par reference.by reference.
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.
