Preparation of sorting plan for objects, comprises insertion of zeros in matrices which represent numbers of objects per destination such that overflow takes place into succeeding destinations

摘要

Objects such as letters are sorted for destinations by successive passes through a machine which has a loading platform (10), conveyor (11) and compartments (12). The passes are planned by using matrices containing object numbers per destination distributed according to machine separating power and zero columns/lines are added to ensure that overflows from one overloaded compartment are directed into a succeeding compartment
