Abstract: The invention relates, inter alia, to an installation comprising several transport devices for transporting objects through the installation, wherein the several transport devices are arranged distributed in the installation and each have at least one adjustable railing for setting the transport width. A sensor system is designed to monitor several monitoring regions that each extend along one of the several adjustable railings for person detection. A processing device is configured to operate the several transport devices for jointly adjusting the adjustable railings depending on the monitoring of the several monitoring regions via the sensor system. Advantageously, the installation can enable a safe and automated central adjustment of all rails of the installation.
