The present invention relates to a conveyor system, for use, e.g., at airports for conveying luggage, which has a plurality of conveyor sections with variable conveying speed arranged in series and a method for operating same. The conveyed articles may be accelerated on the system and adjacent sections have substantially the same speed and optionally the same acceleration when the articles are passed between them. A downstream speed and optionally also a downstream acceleration is determined for each article being passed to an upstream end of a section. In particular, the invention relates to a conveyor system in which the conveyor sections each has a control unit for controlling the operation of the particular section and which control unit is able to communicate with the control units of the immediately adjacent sections, and the invention relates as well to a method for operating such a system and to the individual section. |
