Abstract: A method for the optimized operation of a transport container conveyor system for items of cargo, in particular of an airport luggage conveyor system, includes: a) introducing an item of cargo into the conveyor system at an introduction point; b) providing larger transport containers of a first category and smaller transport containers of a second category for receiving a respective item of cargo; c) automatically recording a dimension of the item of cargo; d) depending on the recorded dimension, automatically assigning the item of cargo to a transport container of a first or second category; e) automatically loading the assigned transport container with the item of cargo; f) transporting the transport container loaded with the item of cargo on active conveyor sections; g) repeating the above steps for further items of cargo. There is also described a novel conveyor system.
