Method for temporarily storing objects (12, 13) in a temporary-storage system comprising a temporary-storage belt, a control unit and signalling means, the temporary-storage belt comprising a plurality of regularly distributed sensors, the position of each sensor on the temporary-storage belt being distinctly identified, characterised in that the temporary-storage method comprises a loading phase wherein the control unit performs the following steps: - when an object (12, 13) is deposited on the temporary-storage belt, receiving corresponding information coming from at least one of the sensors, and - for each deposition of an object (12, 13) detected, recording a trace of the deposition of the object (12, 13) in association with a reference to each of the sensors activated by the deposition of the object (12, 13); and the temporary-storage method comprises an unloading phase wherein the control unit performs the following steps: - determining a removal sequence indicating the order in which the objects (12, 13) deposited on the temporary-storage belt must be removed, and, for each object (12, 13) to be removed in the order of the removal sequence: - identifying the referenced sensors that have been activated by the deposition of the object (12, 13) in the context of the loading phase, - transmitting to the signalling means signalling information identifying the position of the object (12, 13) to be removed from the sensors identified, and - when the object (12, 13) is removed from the temporary-storage belt, receiving corresponding information coming from at least one of the sensors and continuing the removal sequence with a new object (12, 13) to be removed, if such exists. characterised in that the temporary-storage method comprises a loading phase wherein the control unit performs the following steps: - when an object (12, 13) is deposited on the temporary-storage belt, receiving corresponding information coming from at least one of the sensors, and - for each deposition of an object (12, 13) detected, recording a trace of the deposition of the object (12, 13) in association with a reference to each of the sensors activated by the deposition of the object (12, 13); - when an object (12, 13) is deposited on the temporary-storage belt, receiving corresponding information coming from at least one of the sensors, and - for each deposition of an object (12, 13) detected, recording a trace of the deposition of the object (12, 13) in association with a reference to each of the sensors activated by the deposition of the object (12, 13); and the temporary-storage method comprises an unloading phase wherein the control unit performs the following steps: - determining a removal sequence indicating the order in which the objects (12, 13) deposited on the temporary-storage belt must be removed, - determining a removal sequence indicating the order in which the objects (12, 13) deposited on the temporary-storage belt must be removed, and, for each object (12, 13) to be removed in the order of the removal sequence: - identifying the referenced sensors that have been activated by the deposition of the object (12, 13) in the context of the loading phase, - transmitting to the signalling means signalling information identifying the position of the object (12, 13) to be removed from the sensors identified, and - when the object (12, 13) is removed from the temporary-storage belt, receiving corresponding information coming from at least one of the sensors and continuing the removal sequence with a new object (12, 13) to be removed, if such exists. - identifying the referenced sensors that have been activated by the deposition of the object (12, 13) in the context of the loading phase, - transmitting to the signalling means signalling information identifying the position of the object (12, 13) to be removed from the sensors identified, and - when the object (12, 13) is removed from the temporary-storage belt, receiving corresponding information coming from at least one of the sensors and continuing the removal sequence with a new object (12, 13) to be removed, if such exists.
