Abstract:
A logistics installation ( 200 ) for sorting articles, the installation including a looped conveyor ( 210 ) comprising P pre-sorting devices (PT 1,  PT 2 ) for pre-sorting the articles, injection zones (ZI- 1,  ZI- 2,  ZI- 3,  ZI- 4,  ZI- 5,  ZI- 6 ) for injecting the pre-sorted articles onto the conveyor, and outlet zones (ZS- 1,  ZS- 2,  ZS- 3,  ZS- 4,  ZS- 5,  ZS- 6 ) for unloading the articles from the conveyor, the injection zones alternating with the outlet zones along the conveyor, each injection zone being followed by an outlet zone, in which installation each injection zone is connected to one pre-sorting device only, and each pre-sorting device is connected to one in every P injection zones considered sequentially around the conveyor.

Claim (Index 1):
A logistics installation for sorting articles, the installation comprising:\n a looped conveyor capable of directing the articles into sorting outlet zones according to a sorting plan that associates the outlet zones with the articles, the looped conveyor having injection zones, each of which is arranged to inject the articles onto the conveyor and which alternate with the outlet zones; P pre-sorting devices designed for pre-sorting the articles to be sorted according to said sorting plan, P being an integer greater than or equal to two; and conveyor lines for conveying the pre-sorted articles from the pre-sorting devices to the injection zones, the conveyor lines being arranged so that each injection zone is connected to one pre-sorting device only and each pre-sorting device is connected to a plurality of injection zones in a configuration in which each pre-sorting device is connected to one in every P injection zones considered sequentially along the conveyor in a given direction.
