  • the fixed read side of the articles is preferably the top of the articles.
  • the data processing unit determines from the information acquired by the reading device that side of an item on which the information has been acquired, and the data processing unit compares this page with the designated reading side. If this page matches the specified read page, the captured information is not duplicated because it is already on the read side of an item.
  • the data processing unit further determines the position and orientation of an object on the conveyor line, using the image of a camera above the conveyor line.

  • objects can be provided with unique identifications with which they can be identified at several stations within a transport system.
  • the information applied can be applied both in plain text and in encrypted form.
  • barcodes or matrix codes can be used as encryption.
  • the information may be printed directly on the article or a label / label is applied to which the information is applied.
  • Clear text information and encrypted information may also be present in combination on an object.
  • a parcel shipment may be provided with an affixed parcel label which has been described by a consignor with a recipient address in plain text, while the label further comprises a bar code with an encrypted number sequence over which the consignment is uniquely identifiable in the shipping system.
  • the articles 20 are preferably transported individually on the conveyor line 20.
  • known methods and devices can be used, for example in the form of conveyor belts with different speeds or slides, which move the objects in a targeted manner from one layer to another.
  • the singulation can be carried out with or without the assistance of a sensor which detects the position of objects on the conveyor line.
  • a reading device 40 At the conveyor line 30 there is a reading device 40, with which all sides of the articles 20 passed individually past them can be scanned.
  • a reading device 40 Preferably, at least six optical detection means are used for this all-side scanning, which are arranged so that they can detect all sides of an object guided past them.
  • a preferred example of the optical detection means is a reading device, for example a camera, a scanner, an optical scanning device or an image sensor.
  • the cameras are, for example, CCD cameras, and the simultaneous acquisition of information on multiple pages of an object can be accomplished by conventional methods and arrangements of cameras known to those skilled in the art.
  • a detection means it is possible for a detection means to receive deflected optical signals via the mirror and thus to perform the function of two detection means together with the mirror.
  • the region 31 of the conveying path 30, in which the scanning of the objects takes place is preferably transparent, so that a detection means, for example a camera, can be positioned below the conveying path.
  • a detection means for example a camera
  • This may be, for example, a transparent plate which is arranged between two conveyor belts. In front of this transparent area there is preferably a means for accelerating the objects over the transparent area.
  • the objects are for this purpose, for example, transported by a first conveyor belt to the transparent plate, which is directly in front of the plate another conveyor belt 32, which has a much higher speed than the first conveyor belt.
  • the articles are accelerated by this fast conveyor belt and slide over the transparent plate 31 until they are taken up again by a conveyor belt arranged behind it and transported further.
  • the conveying path 30 in the region of the reading device 40 is inclined slightly downwards in the conveying direction, so that the objects slip over the transparent plate 31 due to gravity until they are picked up again by a conveyor belt arranged behind it and transported further.
  • the images recorded by the reading units (cameras) of the reading device 40 are fed to a data processing unit 50, which carries out an evaluation of the images.
  • This evaluation involves at least the determination of the page of an item on which information was collected. This can be done on the basis of the image information and the defined arrangement of the reading units (cameras). If only the lower reading unit (camera) could detect information, this means that the searched information is located on the underside of the object.
  • the data processing unit 50 now performs a comparison of the page thus determined with information with a fixed read page.
  • the read side is stored in the data processing unit 50.
  • the read side is the side of objects on which the information must reside in order to be detected by subsequent reading devices. If it is provided on the further conveyor and distribution line that information is always captured from above, the fixed read side, for example, the top of the items. However, it can also be provided that reading devices are located, for example, in the conveying direction to the right of the conveying path, so that the fixed reading side is the right side of an object.
  • the upper side of the articles is determined as the reading side. So the imprint can or apply a label without the item shifting. Furthermore, the position and orientation of an object over the top is better defined than is the case over lateral surfaces, as isolated objects always lie flat on the conveyor line, so that their top is substantially parallel to the conveyor line and can be printed well. Side surfaces may, however, depending on the position of the object are inclined to a printhead, which can reduce the print quality or even make a print or the application of a label impossible. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, therefore, the fixed read side of the articles is the top of the articles.
  • a printing unit 60 which can print directly on objects or produce a label 70 which can be applied to the objects.
  • the printing unit 60 is in communication with the data processing unit 50, which evaluates the images of the reading device 40 and compares it with the specification for the reading side. If only the reading unit (camera) below the conveyor track could capture information, the comparison with the specified read page reveals that the two sides do not match. The data processing unit therefore sends a signal to the printing unit 60 to apply a print or label to the top of the next item. If, on the other hand, the top side has been detected as the side on which information is located, the data processing unit does not send a signal for printing to the printing unit, since no additional application of information is required. Rather, the article is already in the correct orientation and the information can be detected by a reading device above the conveyor line.
  • the data processing unit 50 sends a signal for printing to the printing unit 60, this takes place together with the transmission of a duplicate of the ascertained information.
  • the data processing unit duplicates all or only part of the acquired information. If barcode scanning is required for further processing, a captured barcode is duplicated and placed on top of an object. Furthermore, if the detection of a receiver address is required in order to subsequently generate a sort code for the conveyor line, for example, the receiver address is duplicated. In this case, the detected receiver address can be extracted by the data processing unit 50 by OCR and / or ICR techniques and recreated. Alternatively, the area with the receiver address is cut out of the image recorded by a reading unit (camera) and applied to the object without further processing.
  • the data processing unit 50 further evaluates the image of the reading unit, preferably the camera, above the conveying path 30 in order to determine the position and orientation of the object 20 on the conveying path. These data are also transmitted to the printing unit 60 so that it can apply a print targeted to an object. Thus, the position of an object between the reading device 40 and the printing unit 60 does not change significantly, the mechanism for transporting the objects across the transparent plate 32 should therefore be designed accordingly.
  • means for positioning the articles in a specific printing position can be provided behind the reading device 40.
  • This may be, for example, baffles that lead the objects in a central location that allows a print.
  • This procedure is particularly suitable for objects of similar size and shape.
  • articles of widely varying size and shape as is the case, for example, with postal parcels, a reliable orientation is difficult to realize, so that it can be supplemented or replaced by the described evaluation of the image of the upper reading unit, preferably the camera.
