METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PUTTING PIECE GOODS INTO CONTAINERS

摘要

In a method for inserting piece goods (S) into containers (B) by means of a picking line, the relative speed between the feed of the containers (B) and the feed of the piece goods (S) is controlled in the area of the picking line. In this case, the relative speed is controlled as a function of a filling level of at least one storage element (3, 3', 3'', 4). This method permits efficient transfer of piece goods into containers with the most complete filling possible of the containers, irrespective of the manner of the relative transport direction of the piece goods and containers. It is suitable both for cocurrent and for countercurrent systems,
