摘要: A sorting installation sorts objects and contains a sorter for conveying objects and also an end station facility accepting objects. The sorter is configured to bring at least a few of the objects conveyed on the sorter in an object introduction direction, which is different from a local direction of object conveyance of the sorter in an area of the sorter adjoining the end station facility, into the end station facility. In order to make possible a fine distribution of the objects that is favorable in terms of the effort involved, the end station facility has a first object store, a second object store and also a transport facility. The transport facility is configured to transport the objects brought by the sorter into the end station facility optionally along a first transport path to the first object store or along a second transport path to the second object store.

摘要: In a method for tracking packages on a conveyor section, the tracking rate of packages is intended to be maximized. This is achieved by providing a method for tracking packages on a conveyor section, the method comprising the following steps: a) providing a conveyor section having a conveyor surface for conveying a sequence of packages, the conveyor section comprising at least one photoelectric barrier for detecting the packages, b) detecting a photoelectric barrier pattern by means of the photoelectric barrier, the photoelectric barrier pattern being caused by the sequence of packages, c) detecting a conveyor speed of at least one subsection of the conveyor section, d) estimating an event sequence which has with the highest probability caused the photoelectric barrier pattern, while taking into account the conveyor speed of the conveyor section, by means of an algorithm, the algorithm comprising the following further steps: e) compiling a list of possible event sequences, f) sorting the event sequences with the aid of their occurrence probability, g) extending the most probable event sequence by all possible consecutive events, the probability of the event sequence being determined for each extension, h) incorporating the extensions as a new event sequence into the list of event sequences, i) repeating steps g) to h) until the most probable event sequence fully reflects the detected photoelectric barrier pattern.

摘要: A method sorts objects in a sorting installation. In order to make possible fine distribution of the objects in a favorable manner in terms of outlay, the objects are conveyed on a sorter of the sorting installation. In a first distribution pass a few of the objects conveyed on the sorter are brought by the sorter into retrieval end stations of the sorting installation and others of the objects conveyed on the sorter are brought by the sorter into a collection end station of the sorting installation and, by means of a transport facility of the sorting installation, objects are automatically transported away from the collection end station and automatically brought back to the sorter. The objects brought back from the collection end station to the sorter by the transport facility are brought by the sorter into one of the end stations in a second distribution pass in each case.
