Abstract

A storage and retrieval system for a high-bay warehouse comprising a superordinate control computer having a communication module and at least two self-driving gangway vehicles which are non-mechanically interlinked to each other. A control apparatus with a communication apparatus, of which at least one of the communication apparatuses is formed to bidirectionally communicate with the communication module of the superordinate control computer. The control apparatus of the gangway vehicles prompts a drive apparatus of the gangway vehicles to drive into or drive out of warehouse gangways the high-bay warehouse. A measurement of the path covered by the respective gangway vehicle is carried out by a path measurement apparatus that is in a communication connection with the control apparatus. The control apparatus of the gangway vehicles is designed to prompt a lifting apparatus of the gangway vehicles to adjust a load receiver between a raised and a lowered position.
