11. A method for contactless detecting filling levels of automatic machine shafts having removal units of an order-picking systems by means of a distance measuring device, comprising the following steps:
-
positioning the distance measuring device at a measuring position along a guidance track being provided on an automatic machine shaft; orientating the distance measuring device into the automatic machine shaft; performing detection of the filling level of the automatic machine shaft; associating the obtained data with the position data of the distance measuring device; and positioning the distance measuring device at another automatic machine shaft, and repeating the previous steps. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
