    摘要: A method for determining a demand for filling material in order to, when filling a shipping container, which has been in part pre-filled with products, secure the position of the products in the shipping container, comprises at least partially detecting the remaining space in the shipping container which is not occupied by the products, and determining the filling material required to at least partially fill the detected space. A three-dimensional grid is virtually generated which represents the portion of the remaining space in the interior of the shipping container which is not occupied by the products and which is accessible from above in the vertical direction. The method also comprises generating virtual spatial candidate elements which are suitable for filling, in various sub-combinations, the grid within specified tolerances and without collision, and selecting a sub-combination of this kind as result combination.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for automatically creasing a folded box having inserted packaged goods, wherein the side walls of the folded box are creased by means of a creasing station which comprises a creasing tool having a rotatably mounted creasing roller for creasing a planar workpiece and a rotatably mounted counter-pressure roller which are retained at one end on a common support, wherein the distance between the two rollers can be varied, wherein the creasing tool is fastened to a movement system for three-dimensional displaceability, and wherein the following steps are carried out: a) providing the folded box, which is open at the top in the vertical direction and has inserted packaged goods; b) determining the dimensions of the folded box and the filling height of the packaged goods; c) creasing the side walls of the folded box, a first side wall being creased at a first creasing height associated with the filling height determined in step b). The counter-pressure roller is mounted parallel to the creasing roller; the counter-pressure roller and the creasing roller can be displaced relative to one another in order to set a distance from one another; and, during the creasing process, when the creasing tool reaches a vertical edge of the folded box, the roller located outside the folded box is pivoted through 90° about the roller located inside the folded box, the distance between the creasing roller and the counter-pressure roller being changed.
