PCT No. PCT/DK95/00369 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 17, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 17, 1997 PCT Filed Sep. 15, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/08322 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 21, 1996A batching of currently supplied articles with non-uniform weights into portions of a uniform target weight is effected by passing the articles through a weighing station (6, 8) to a distribution system (12), in which the articles (4) are selectively allocated to a plurality of receiver bins (14). It is known to improve the capacity of such a system by way of probability calculations based on the normal distribution of the articles in the supply flow, but it is better to base such calculations on a regularly updated recorded histogram (28) of the weight distribution of a relatively high number of newly weighed articles. Thereby the target calculations will rely on factual rather than just expected conditions, and a result is that it is possible to effect batching even when the article weights in the supply flow are not normally distributed. |
