Abstract

A picker unit (5) inserts a number of piece goods (3) from a conveyor (1) into a container (4). The remaining number of piece goods required to fill the container is transferred via the picker unit from the conveyor into a transfer unit that in turn transfers these goods to the container. An Independent claim is also included for a process in inserting individual piece goods into containers.
