Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by theinventors: “Many logistical systems are based on conveyor lines being used to transport items of generalcargo such as e.g., packages or individual products. A conveyor line in this instance is usually made up of aplurality of conveyor line portions, which are arranged in succession, with the result that an item of generalcargo can be transferred from one conveyor line portion to another, adjoining conveyor line portion withoutinterruption. Each conveyor line portion contains a conveyor belt on which the item of general cargo ismoved. Alternatives to conveyor belts are rail systems or multicarrier systems. Multiple such conveyor linescan in turn be combined in an arbitrarily complicated manner, e.g., by virtue of multiple conveyor linesrunning parallel to one another and opening into a common section.
