Method for temporarily storing objects 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 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 detected, recording a trace of the deposition of the object in association with a reference to each of the sensors activated by the deposition of the object ; 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 deposited on the temporary-storage belt must be removed, and, for each object to be removed in the order of the removal sequence: - identifying the referenced sensors that have been activated by the deposition of the object in the context of the loading phase, - transmitting to the signalling means signalling information identifying the position of the object to be removed from the sensors identified, and - when the object 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 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 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 detected, recording a trace of the deposition of the object in association with a reference to each of the sensors activated by the deposition of the object ; - when an object 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 detected, recording a trace of the deposition of the object in association with a reference to each of the sensors activated by the deposition of the object ; 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 deposited on the temporary-storage belt must be removed, - determining a removal sequence indicating the order in which the objects deposited on the temporary-storage belt must be removed, and, for each object to be removed in the order of the removal sequence: - identifying the referenced sensors that have been activated by the deposition of the object in the context of the loading phase, - transmitting to the signalling means signalling information identifying the position of the object to be removed from the sensors identified, and - when the object 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 to be removed, if such exists. - identifying the referenced sensors that have been activated by the deposition of the object in the context of the loading phase, - transmitting to the signalling means signalling information identifying the position of the object to be removed from the sensors identified, and - when the object 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 to be removed, if such exists. <EOS>
