Abstract:
1. A method for transporting multiple items having at least one predefined measurable transport attribute and at least one predefined measurable feature, which comprises the steps of: performing for each of the items, the steps of: storing for each of the items a data record containing the measured transport attribute value of the item and the measured feature value of the item; executing multiple transport processes, wherein in each transport process respectively at least one of the items is conveyed into an intermediate store and is transported by means of a transport means from the intermediate store to a continuation point respectively; transporting each of the items by one of the transport processes to the continuation point; performing a fresh measurement of what value the predefined measurable feature assumes for the item resulting in a feature value; using the feature value measured in the fresh measurement step for determining the data record which was stored for the item resulting in a determined data record; triggering a further transportation of the item in dependence on the measured transport attribute value contained in the determined data record; performing for at least one of the transport processes from the intermediate store to the continuation point, a sequence including the steps of:
