Mini-load automated warehouses for boxes: the application of the "product to man" principle.
The Mini-Load or AAC warehouses apply the "product to man" principle: the units to be loaded (boxes) located on the shelving are handled automatically by a transelevator or stacker crane, which brings them to the operator's post so that he/she can either remove or position the product. The boxes are then returned to their place on the shelf using the same procedure. The workplace, located at the end of the corridor, may be fitted with all the elements required to optimise operator performance: terminal, printer, scanner, boxes, bags, etc.
