A method for handling goods includes: acquiring goods information of goods to be sorted; determining, according to the goods information, a target sorting container from a plurality of candidate sorting containers, wherein the target sorting container is located on a sorting container moving device, and a plurality of sorting containers are placed on the sorting container moving device; and if the target sorting container is not located at a goods receiving position corresponding to the goods to be sorted, controlling the sorting container moving device to move the target sorting container to the goods receiving position, and controlling a sorting device to deliver the goods to be sorted to the target sorting container; or if the target sorting container is located at the goods receiving position corresponding to the goods to be sorted, controlling the sorting device to deliver the goods to be sorted to the target sorting container.

The invention generally relates to a facility wide sorting and/or sequencing system for improving product processing operations and, more particularly, to a facility wide system and related functionality for simultaneously sorting and sequencing mixed mail pieces such as, for example, flats and letter mail pieces. The flats and letter mail pieces are placed in frames so that all types of mail pieces can be sorted and/or sequenced simultaneously through merging and diverting a stream of filled trays into and out of different streams at a full or substantially full transport speed.
