Definitions
- the present invention relates to a document loading device for the automated loading of documents in loading equipment, in particular in containers or trays, which are transported by means of a conveyor within a picking system.
- the present invention further relates to a method of loading a receipt into an associated loading aid.
- a document is printed by means of a conventional printer and then cached in a coupled to the printer magazine, which, for example, up to eight different documents cache can.
- laser printers are used.
- an identification number of the container is detected relatively early.
- the container identification takes place at a location which is, for example, up to ten container lengths upstream relative to a transfer point at which the documents are dispensed into the containers. This is required to retrieve the document from a higher-level control computer, such as a warehouse management computer, and to give the receipt printer sufficient time to print the document. In particular, warm-up times of the printer must be considered.
- the relatively long distance between the identification site and the Beigabeort has been found to be disadvantageous. Errors may occur on the way between the identification location and the loading site (e.g., congestion, unpredictable removal of a container from a container stream, or the like), so that either no container or other container arrives at the transfer location instead of an expected container. The receipt printer is then no longer able to respond to such an error. The entire system must then be stopped or the error corrected in a subsequent, manual error handling.
- the patent application US 2008/0289301 Al shows a device for dispensing coupons in containers.
- One coupon per container is dispensed.
- the delivery is made by a horizontal ejection.
- the coupons are clamped between two vertically opposite straps, which in turn are driven in opposite directions to each eject a coupon laterally.
- the coupons are pre-printed and provided in the form of a continuous web on a roll.
- the device of US 2008/0289301 Al also has a device for separating the endlessly provided coupons before the isolated coupons are delivered to the webbing.
- the system should be well scalable and redundant. A high reliability and the use of as few mechanical components is desirable. In particular, the system should be cost effective and, if possible, enable higher throughput.
- a document loading device for the automated loading of documents in loading aids, in particular in containers or trays, which are transported by means of a conveyor within a picking system
- the document loading device comprising: a document guiding device for storing a, preferably a single, document, which consists of at least one slip sheet, and for mechanically guiding the same into an associated loading aid, which is automatically moved past the document loading device by means of the conveyor technology in such a way that the slip is actively movable into its associated load support;
- the document guide means comprises two substantially horizontally opposed, movably mounted receiving members which receive in their receiving position the document in a space between them, and an actuator which moves the receiving members in their delivery position, in which the document dispensed into the associated loading aid becomes; at least one sensor, wherein a first sensor (eg a scanner) is set up and arranged such that the loading aid is identifiable before, preferably immediately before, the document loading device; and a controller coupled to the sensors for issuing a receipt print command to a printer in
- the errors are reduced because the loading aids can no longer "crash" on their way to the document loading device. Even in the case of misprints or paper jams, there is no misallocation of documents on loading equipment. A paper jam or misprints can be easily removed or eliminated, without causing a confusion in the loading equipment.
- the receipt is preferably horizontal.
- the document loading device operates extremely reliably (on average one error per 10,000 sheets).
- the invention is without Scalable problems, ie multiple document loading devices can be sequentially coupled to the same conveyor line (conveyor) to increase throughput (preferably with the same number of sheets per document).
- the loading equipment conveying system builds very briefly, since a so-called registration line, as known from the prior art with e.g. a length of eight containers was known, is no longer necessary.
- the receiving members are realized by paddle wheels, which are rotatably mounted and the blades are closed in the receiving position in the direction of the associated loading aid.
- Multi-unit paddle wheels with e.g. two to four blades per wheel, represent simple mechanical components that on the one hand, the sheets of a document safely pick up and on the other these also safely in the direction of the loading aid during an addition lead.
- the paddle wheels are actuated by means of a single drive such that the paddle wheels rotate from their receiving position in opposite directions of rotation in the dispensing position, wherein the paddle wheels are preferably always rotated in the same direction to each in their respective delivery position to get.
- the paddle wheels are rotated to be moved from their receiving position to their delivery position.
- the advantage of paddle wheels is that when a first paddle wheel pair has been rotated from its receiving position to the delivery position, the subsequent pair of paddle wheels simultaneously returns to its receiving position is turned. A forward and backward movement of the Schaufelradcrue is not required, which is reflected in a gain of time. This increases the throughput.
- the synchronization of the pick-up members is usually done by e.g. the paddle wheels are moved by means of a traction means, in particular a drive belt, which is guided in an opposite direction of rotation about parallel axes of the paddle wheels.
- the drive is an electric motor.
- the receiving members are designed as stored flaps.
- hinged flaps When hinged flaps are used, it is advantageous if a punch is used as an actuator to bring the flaps from above to their delivery position. By means of a return mechanism, in particular a spring device, the flaps can then be returned to their receiving position.
- This system is again characterized - in comparison to the prior art - by the fact that only mechanical components - and thus no pneumatic components - are used.
- a second sensor is provided which is arranged and arranged such that a number of sheets forming a document belong, countable and verifiable, wherein the control means in response to signals from the second sensor interrupts a Belegbeigabe if the number of slip sheets deviates from a predetermined number, or causes the Belegbeigabe if the number of slip sheets matches the predetermined number.
- a third sensor is provided, which is arranged and arranged such that it is verifiable whether the correct document for addition is in the receiving members.
- a barcode scanner is used to identify the receipt in the picking position.
- a fourth sensor is provided, which is arranged and arranged such that it can be checked whether the receiving members are in the respectively correct position.
- a picking system with at least one document loading device according to the present invention and with a conveyor system for transporting loading equipment, wherein several Belegbeigabevoriquesen share a common, single first sensor (eg scanner), the per assigned document loading device to a stowage space upstream is arranged relative to the first document loading device.
- a first sensor eg scanner
- the order picking system e.g. is provided with two Belegbeigabevorraumen, it is advisable to place the place of identification by two loading auxiliary lengths in front of the first document loading device. This makes it possible to identify two loading aids per cycle, so that each document loading device for one of the loading aids can print a document. It is understood that as the number of document loading devices increases, the identification location is preferably moved further upstream accordingly.
- the document loading device may be bypassed with another conveyor technique if, for example, documents are to be used as receipts. Invoices are printed. Usually, only the last container of a container series gets the invoice attached. If a container series e.g. comprises five containers, this means that the fifth container is provided with a document, here an invoice. So as not to have to carry unnecessarily many containers past the document loading device, i. in order to pass only those containers on the document loading device, which are actually to be provided with a receipt, a diversion conveyor line (conveyor) is provided, on which the containers are passed without detour at the document loading point. In this way, the throughput can be increased.
- a diversion conveyor line conveyor
- a method for loading a receipt into an associated load carrier comprising the steps of: detecting a load accessory identification number immediately, preferably a jam length, in front of a document loading device; Polling a document associated with the identification number at a control device; Printing by a printing device and delivering the assigned document to a document device of the document loading device; Check if the receipt is complete; Delivering the receipt when it is complete; wherein the dispensing comprises oppositely moving receiving members of the document guiding device to guide the document mechanically guided into the associated loading aid.

- FIG. 12 is a flow chart of the method according to the invention for loading a receipt into a loading aid.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a picking system 10 having a document loading device 12 in accordance with the present invention.
- the document loading device 12 has a printer 14 (eg, a laser printer, inkjet printer, etc.) including paper memory 16 and (integrated) controller 18.
- the control device 18 can also be provided externally in the form of a programmable logic controller (PLC) which is connected to a higher-level computer 20, such as a warehouse management computer (LVR) or a material flow computer (MFR), via fixed lines 22, eg a bus system, and / or wireless communication links 24 can communicate.
- PLC programmable logic controller
- LVR warehouse management computer
- MFR material flow computer
- the document loading device 12 further comprises a document guide device 40, which will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.
- the document loading device 12 of FIG. 1 is disposed adjacent to a conveyor 26.
- the conveyor 26 may be implemented in the form of, for example, a roller conveyor, a belt conveyor, a belt conveyor or the like.
- the conveyor system 26 is constructed in particular segment-like.
- the illustrated part of the conveyor line 26 comprises e.g. eight conveyor technology segments 28-1 to 28-8.
- Each of the conveyor segments 28 is adapted to carry at least one loading aid 30, such as e.g. to receive a container, a tray, a carton or the like.
- the present invention will be described more concretely using containers as loading aids, it being understood that other loading aids 30 may be used equally well.
- the containers 30 are transported on the segments 28 downstream in the x direction past the document loading device 12, as illustrated by an arrow 31.
- the segments 28-4 to 28-1 are provided with the numbers 0 to 3 (from right to left) to illustrate the distance of a container 30 relative to the document loading device 12.
- the container 30 on the conveyor technology segment 28-1 is thus still three positions away from the document loading device 12.
- Documents are provided in FIG. 1 with the reference numeral 32.
- Each container 30 on the conveyor segments 28-3 to 28-8 is each provided with a document 32.
- a document 32 may consist of one or more sheets.
- a receipt is an accompanying paper, which is added to identify a delivery in terms of goods, sender and addressee. However, a document 32 can also be an invoice.
- the document loading device 12 is positioned within a picking system 10 either at the beginning or at the end.
- the document loading device 12 is positioned at the beginning when empty documents 30 are to be filled according to a picking order with the aid of the documents 32.
- the document 32 then indicates to the operator how many articles of a particular type belong in a respective container 30.
- the document loading device 12 is not finished until the end, i. be arranged near a goods issue, the order picking 10. In this case, usually only the last container 30 of a container series, provided that an order comprises a plurality of containers 30, an invoice attached.
- this embodiment will be explained in more detail in connection with FIG. 11.
- FIG. 2 a perspective view of the illustrated document loading apparatus 12 of FIG. 1 is shown.
- the document guide means 40 is illustrated with the housing open and will be explained in more detail in connection with FIG. 3.
- a conveyor technology segment 28 of the conveyor 26 which is implemented here in the form of a roller conveyor.
- the container 30 is passed under the document guide device to be equipped with a (not shown here) document 32.
- the document 32 is output by the printer 14 in an upper area, picked up by the document guiding device 40 and then discharged by means of mechanical guidance from the document guiding device 40 into the container 30 arranged thereunder.
- the gravity is utilized to give the evidence in the container 30. But it would equally well be possible to pass the container 30 laterally past the document guiding device 40 in order to feed the document into the container 30.
- the document guiding device 40 of Fig. 2 is isolated, but shown in greater detail.
- the document guiding device 40 here has a first and a second receiving member 42, 44, which are implemented in the form of paddle wheels 46, 47 in FIG.
- the paddle wheels 46, 47 may be constructed multi-membered. In the present example of Fig. 3 are four-bladed paddle wheels, i. each paddle wheel 46, 47 has four blades each. It is understood that the paddle wheels 46, 47 could also have different numbers of blades at a corresponding ratio, e.g. three blades on the first wheel and four blades on the second wheel ..
- the paddle wheels 46, 47 are rotatably mounted about axes 48, 50.
- the axes 48, 50 are oriented substantially parallel to each other.
- the axes 48, 50 are here along the y-axis, i. oriented transversely to the conveying direction 31.
- the paddle wheels 46, 47 are arranged relative to one another such that two blade pairs preferably lie in a horizontal plane and that the paddle wheels can be rotated freely relative to one another, but preferably synchronized.
- the first receiving member 42 rotates about the axis 48 in a rotational direction 58 (clockwise in the illustration in FIG. 3).
- the second take-up member 44 rotates about the axis 50 in an opposite direction of rotation 60 (counterclockwise in the illustration of FIG. 3). In this way, adjacent pairs of airfoils of the first and second paddles 46, 47 move synchronously downward, i. in the direction of the container 30 (see Fig. 2).
- a (preferably single) drive 52 is used, which is implemented here in the example of FIG. 3 in the form of an electric motor 54.
- the electric motor 54 drives a traction means 56, such as a toothed belt, via a gear not designated here in detail.
- the toothed belt 56 is guided in such a way that it rotates with the axes 48 and 50, respectively. Connected gears so drives that the paddle wheels 46, 47 are rotated in opposite directions.
- the direction of movement of the toothed belt 56 is illustrated in FIG. 3 by dark arrows.
- the use of a single motor or drive 52 has the advantage that relatively few components are used to output the documents 32 or to move the receiving members 42, 44.
- a frame 64 of the slip guide means 40 is provided with a sensor 64, e.g. a light sensor or a light barrier provided, which is preferably arranged in the horizontal plane (xy-plane), in which also slip sheets from the printer 14 (see Fig. 2) not shown in Fig. 3 are output.
- a number of light breaks are representative of the number of sheets dispensed. In this way it is possible to count the sheets of a receipt 32.
- another sensor 66 such as e.g. a barcode scanner.
- the bar code scanner 66 is arranged to read substantially in the z direction. Since the document 32 is preferably received in the horizontal plane (xy), thus a good readability of barcodes is guaranteed, which are printed on the documents 32. In this way it can be ensured that the correct document 32 has just been printed out to the container 30 (see FIG.
- Another security feature may involve another sensor 68, such as a reed contact. With the reed contact, the position of the paddle wheels 46, 47, which are then preferably made of metal, can be verified. Is moving one of the paddle wheels, here the paddle wheel 46, through the sensor area of the sensor 68, it can be determined whether the paddle wheel 46 has rotated in the correct direction and by the correct angle. If the paddle wheel 46 has rotated in the correct direction and at the correct angle, it follows as a logical consequence of the drive by the one pulling means 56 that the second paddle wheel 46 has also rotated correctly.
- another sensor 68 such as a reed contact. With the reed contact, the position of the paddle wheels 46, 47, which are then preferably made of metal, can be verified. Is moving one of the paddle wheels, here the paddle wheel 46, through the sensor area of the sensor 68, it can be determined whether the paddle wheel 46 has rotated in the correct direction and by the correct angle. If the paddle wheel 46 has rotated in the correct direction and at the
- the document guide 40 of Fig. 3 is shown from the perspective of the printer 14 (see Fig. 2). Below the document guiding device 40, whose paddle wheels 46, 47 can be clearly seen, the container 30 is guided in the direction 31. Due to the symmetry of the machine with the same construction, the implementation in both directions is possible.
- the container 30 can move continuously below the document handling device 40 on the conveyor 26, i. without stopping. However, the container 30 can also dwell during the presentation of documents below the document guiding device 40 for the duration of the addition.
- a further sensor (not shown here) can be used to check the position of the container 30 below the document guiding device 40. This sensor can also be used to stop the conveyor 26 on reaching the transfer point or the transfer position.
- the present invention is also distinguished from the prior art by the fact that as little sensor technology as possible is used in order to process as little data as possible in order to save time and increase reliability.
- the sensor 64 has an unobstructed view of a discharge slot of the printer 14.
- a light beam from the sensor 64 is briefly interrupted because the sheet falls into a space between two associated pairs of blades falls, like it will be described in more detail below.
- the sensor 64 preferably measures in the y-direction, ie perpendicular to the plane of the drawing of FIG. 4.
- the sensors 66 and 66a are preferably arranged to operate substantially in the z-direction.
- the sensor 66a can check if the tray was empty before loading.
- the ejection slot of the printer 14 is preferably arranged to discharge sheets into a gap 72 between adjacent blades of the paddle wheels 46, 47.
- FIG. 5 shows the receiving member 44 or paddle wheel 47 shown on the left in FIG. 4, isolated in a perspective view.
- the paddle wheel 47 preferably has a substantially circular base surface, which forms a rear wall 74 of the paddle wheel 47, which is mounted rotatably about its axis 50 in the direction of rotation 60 on the frame 62 (see Fig. 3).
- the paddle wheel 47 here has four paddle leaves 76-1,..., 76-4, which are substantially perpendicular to the rear side 74.
- the angle is preferably not exactly 90 ° in order to have a certain play in the vertical direction when enclosing the documents.
- the airfoils 76 may also be slightly inclined with respect to the vertical. It is understood that more or fewer blades 76 may be used. Preferably, however, three or four blades 76 are used.
- each airfoil 76 is preferably connected to a side guide member 78.
- the side guide elements 78-1,..., 78-4 of FIG. 5 lie substantially in a plane parallel to the rear side 74. However, the side guide elements 78 may also be slightly inclined relative to the rear side 74. Between the airfoils 76 and the side guide elements 78 of an adjacent airfoil, the gap 72 is formed in each case. One of the gaps 72 is thus formed, for example, between the side guide element 78-1 of the blade 76-4 and the blade leaf 76-1 of the adjacent blade.
- the paddle wheel 47 is preferably made of sheet metal, wherein the individual elements of the paddle wheel 47 are shaped or folded so that slip sheets, which are placed in one of the Schaufelradsammlung, by each two adjacent blades and a corresponding side guide element and a corresponding part of the back 74 can not accidentally fall out. Therefore, adjacent airfoils (e.g., 76-1 and 76-4) form a nearly seamless surface with each other.
- Figs. 6A and 6B two four-part paddle wheels are shown in highly schematic form in a side view similar to Fig. 4.
- Fig. 6A shows the paddle wheels in one of four receiving positions.
- Fig. 6B shows the same paddle wheels just before a delivery position.
- a first impeller pair 80 is formed consisting of a first blade 80-1 of the impeller shown on the left and a second impeller 80-2 of the impeller shown on the right.
- the blades are shown highlighted in bold lines for ease of illustration.
- the impeller pair 80 has already received three slip sheets in its receiving position.
- the lower airfoil of each blade 80-1, 80-2 is preferably in a substantially horizontally oriented plane. It is understood that the lower blades of the blades 80-1, 80-2 need not necessarily be in the horizontal plane. Slight angular deviations are permissible.
- the paddle wheels become in turned opposite directions about their respective axes.
- the left paddle wheel is here in the clockwise direction, ie rotated in the direction of rotation 60.
- the right paddle wheel is rotated counterclockwise, ie in the direction of rotation 58.
- Fig. 6B shows the state of the blades 80-1 and 80-2 shortly before completion of a rotation cycle, which is realized here in the case of four blades by a 90-degree rotation.
- the lower airfoils lying horizontally in FIG. 6A have almost turned in a vertical or vertical orientation.
- the originally vertically oriented blades have turned almost horizontally. It can be seen that the document 30 consisting of three slip sheets 82 is guided mechanically vertically downwards in the direction of an arrow 84 due to gravity and the mechanical guidance of the blades.
- the clear distance between the then vertically oriented blades of the Schaufelradbins 80 is greater than the length of the slip sheets 82 so that they are released here in the direction of the container 30 (see. Fig. 4).
- the receiving space defined by the blades 80-1 and 80-2 can be varied as desired in terms of its geometric dimensions. However, the space should preferably be adjusted to the preferred paper size, such that the length of the paper is slightly less than the length of the receiving space to safely guide the receipts 30 down during a turning cycle. It should be understood that the shape of the receiving members 42, 44, heretofore explained in terms of paddle wheels rotating about an axis in a horizontal plane, may be altered. The orientation of the axes of rotation 48, 50 can be changed.
- FIG. 7 Another embodiment of another document guiding device 40 'is shown schematically in FIG. 7.
- flaps 90 are provided here.
- a first flap 90-1 and a second flap 90-2 lie in their receiving position, which is shown in Fig. 7, substantially in the horizontal and define a (narrow) gap between them.
- Sheets of sheets can be fed from above into the receiving space bounded by the flaps 90-1, 90-2 and the frame 62. Once all slip sheets of a document are completely present in the receiving space and the corresponding, associated container 30 is positioned below the flaps 90-1, 90-2, is using a punch 92, which represents an actuator here, and substantially in the z direction is reciprocable, pressed down (-z). The flaps 90-1 and 90-2 then pivot downwardly as indicated by two curved double arrows. The folded flaps 90-1 and 90-2 then clear the path for the document 32 towards the container 30 (not shown).
- the flaps 90-1, 90-2 usually have a return mechanism, such as a corresponding biased spring in its axis of rotation to the flaps 90-1, 90-2 after the delivery of the document 32 from its delivery position back to the receiving position bring.
- 8 is shown yet another embodiment 40 "of the document guiding device according to the present invention.
- the document guiding device 40" of FIG. 8 is of similar construction as the document guiding device 40 'of FIG. 7. Again, two flaps 9O' are shown. l and 9O'-2 provided, however, not pivotally, but are slidably mounted in their plane.
- the flaps 90'-l, 9O'-2 can be withdrawn by means of an actuator, not shown here from the receiving position shown in Fig. 8 in a dispensing position not shown here, to release the way for the receipt down.
- actuator 92 of FIG. 7 and the actuator of FIG. 8, not shown, similar to the actuator of FIG. 3 - comprising the drive 52 and the traction means 56 - may be constructed.
- FIG. 9 shows the picking system 10 of FIG. 1 with an additional document loading device 12 '.
- the throughput of containers 30 in the case of document inserts in which the documents 32 have only a very small number of sheets (on average less than two) can be considerably increased.
- the first document loading device 12 is again located opposite to the conveyor segment 28-4.
- the second document loading device 12 ' is disposed opposite to the conveyor segment 28-6.
- This conveyor segment 28-5 is needed here to provide the space for the paper store 16 of the second document loading device 12 '(accessibility for refilling). If the paper store 16 of the second document loading device 12 'were located on the right side relative to the printer 14, the first and second document loading devices 12 and 12' could also be placed directly adjacent to each other, eg, adjacent to the conveyor segments 28-4 and 28-5.
- the second (or a third) document loading device 12 'could also be arranged on the opposite side relative to the conveyor 26, should a directly successive arrangement of the Document loading device may be desired. In this case, however, the system would build somewhat wider than is the case with the solution of FIG. 9.
- the container identification sensor 34 is arranged around two conveyor segments 28 upstream relative to the first document loading device 12.
- conveyor segments 28 so-called accumulation conveyor can be used, so that the length of a conveyor section 28 in the flow direction equivalent is also referred to as stowage length.
- a container 30 can be identified immediately in front of the document loading devices 12, 12 'for each of the document loading devices 12 or 12'.
- the first container 30 passing through the sensor 34 is fed to the second document loading device 12 'by passing through the first document feeding device 12.
- the second container 30 passing through the sensor 34 is fed to the first document loading device 12 and therefore preferably stops briefly at the first document loading device 12 to receive a document 32.
- a graph 100 in which an addition frequency (sheets / hr) is plotted against an average sheet number per container (sheet / container).
- sheets / hr an addition frequency
- sheet / container an average sheet number per container
- StdT the darker lines present curves according to the invention and the brighter lines are curves according to the prior art (StdT).
- the solid, darker line 102 represents the efficiency of the invention in providing a single document loading device 12, as shown in FIG.
- the dark, dashed line 104 represents the invention in a (sequential) provision of two Belegbeigabevortechniken 12, 12 ', as shown by way of example in Fig. 9.
- the brighter, solid line “StdT” shows the efficiency of a conventional (simple) receipt printer with an 8-fold Document Magazine.
- the lighter, dashed line “StdT” shows the efficiency of a conventional system with double deployment, each with an 8-fold document magazine.
- a further advantage with almost equal investment costs is that the two printers according to the present invention provide a redundancy which is not provided by a prior art 8 times magazine which is simply provided. Another advantage is to be seen in the space savings, since in the present invention, no more Anmeldeumble is needed.
- the containers are identified directly in front of the printers 14.
- the present invention is significantly better than the prior art, especially with sheet numbers of> 2 per container.
- a modification is shown in comparison with Figs. 1 and 9.
- the document loading device 12 which is constructed in the same way as in Fig. 1, at the end of a picking system 10 ', i. near a goods issue, since 32 receipts should be included as receipts. Not every container 30 is accompanied by an invoice. Only the last container 30 of a series of orders gets an invoice attached.
- a second conveyor 94 is provided, which is arranged here parallel to the first conveyor 26 and the printer 14th bypasses.
- a discharge point 95 e.g. by means of a slider (not shown) discharged to the second conveyor 94.
- a stowage space in front of the discharge point 95 a further sensor 96 is provided for container identification.
- step S1 the container identification sensor is detected with the aid of the first sensor 34 and its assigned receipt 32 is retrieved by the control device 18 and / or 20. Then the identical fected container 30 to a loading point (conveyor segment directly adjacent to one of the Belegbeigabevorraumen 12, 12 ') driven (step S2). Then it can be checked in a step S3 whether the receiving members 42, 44 are in their receiving position (query Al). If the receiving members 42, 44 are not yet in their receiving position, they can be moved further into the receiving position (step S3).
- a further query A2 for example, it can be checked by means of the sensor 66 (cf., FIG. 3) whether the correct document 32 has been printed or is being printed. If or the wrong document 32 has been printed or because, for example, the barcode does not match the assigned container 30, the wrong document 32 must be disposed of in a step S4. Disposal may be done either manually or automatically at a station downstream of the last receipt.
- step S3 In another query A3 is checked whether all sheets or pages of the document 32 are printed. If not all sheets have been printed yet, a wait is made in step S5. If all sheets are printed, it is checked in a query A4 whether the document 32 is complete. In the query A4, all the information relevant to the report can be checked again, such as Document number, container number, number of sheets, etc. If the document 32 is not complete, the document entry is aborted or can be initiated anew - beginning with the step Sl.
- the receipt 32 may be checked in a further query A5 whether the identified container 30 is in the accepting position, i. is located on the conveyor segment, which borders directly on the document dispenser 12. Since the container identification takes place immediately before the document loading, it is extremely rare to wait for the container 30 (step S6).
- the document 32 can be dispensed from the document loading device 12 or 12 'to the container 30 in a step S7. Thereafter, it can be checked in a further query A6 whether additional containers 30 are to be provided with documents 32. Are no further container 30 with To provide documents 32, the method according to the present invention ends. Otherwise one returns to step S1.
