Abstract:
Sorting items are loaded into, or unloaded from, a transport volume. A transport volume-side end of a telescopic conveyor is telescoped into the transport volume to reach a suitable loading position. Then the sorting items are transported into the transport volume or unloaded and transported out of the transport volume. The position of the volume-side end of the conveyor is adjusted as a function of the ongoing loading or unloading state. The adjusted position is acquired by way of a control unit. The expected residual loading or unloading time remaining for the transport volume is determined on the basis of the acquired adjusted position and, optionally, the time profile of the process. The adjusted position may be determined from a rotational speed and/or an activation duration of the drive motor that adjusts the telescopic conveyor.

Claim (Index 3):
The method according to  claim 1 , which comprises determining whether at least one predetermined adjusted position has been reached during the loading and/or unloading procedure by way of sensors arranged for that purpose.
