Process for Redistributing Packages in a Sorting Station

Abstract: a method for redistributing packages in a sorting station is described and illustrated. in order to enable a further increased efficiency of sorting stations with reasonable effort, it is provided that the packages are scanned successively in at least one transport sequence in order to respectively detect at least one sorting parameter in accordance with the at least one transport sequence, that the scanned packages are sorted in the at least one transport sequence in a sorting device on the basis of the at least one sorting parameter and are divided into at least two parallel sorting sequences of packages, that the packages of the parallel sorting sequences are loaded one after the other into at least one transport unit with at least one common robot in accordance with the sorting parameters, that a control device determines an optimized loading sequence for the at least one common robot based on the at least one sorting parameter of the packages of the at least two parallel sorting sequences and, preferably, based on at least one loading state of the at least one transport unit, and that the packages are loaded into the at least one transport unit by the at least one common robot in accordance with the optimized loading sequence.
