In order to create a conveying system which is of simple construction and enables an efficient conveyance of objects, it is proposed that the conveying system comprises a first conveying device and a second conveying device, wherein the objects are able to be taken over from the first conveying device and/or are transferrable to the first conveying device by means of the second conveying device.

Disclosed is a method for packaging articles (2). Hereby, outer packages (3) are moved by a first conveying device (10). Temporally following this, the outer packages (3) are moved by a second conveying device (20), which second conveying device (20) is located next to the first conveying device (10). Furthermore, articles (2) are inserted into a respective outer package (3), while the respective outer package (3) is located on the first conveyor (10) and/or while the respective outer package (3) is located on the second conveyor (20).

It is intended, that the outer packages (3) are received on the first conveyor (10) by format parts (5) and, together with their respective format part (5), are transferred to the second conveyor (20) located next to the first conveyor (10).

Furthermore, it is provided that the outer packages (3), which will be continuously arranged on the format parts until then, will be removed from the format parts (5) together with the inserted articles (2) and the format parts (5) will then be returned to the first conveyor (10) for renewed seizure of outer packages (3).

A transfer device for use with a conveying apparatus for controlling the flow of articles, including a first conveyor and a second conveyor. The transfer device is disposed generally across and movable along the first and second conveyors. The transfer device includes a belt guide attached to the transfer device. The belt guide includes a base configured to attach to an actuating frame of the transfer device and a tension roller that slideably engages with a portion of the base to aid in conveying articles between the first conveyor and second conveyor.

The present disclosure relates to a substrate transfer apparatus. The substrate transfer apparatus includes a first transfer apparatus, a second transfer apparatus, a substrate carrier driver, a sensor, a swing apparatus, and a controller. The first transfer apparatus is configured to transfer a substrate in a first direction. The second transfer apparatus is configured to receive the substrate from the first transfer apparatus and transfer the substrate and comprising a substrate carrier on which the substrate transferred from the first transfer apparatus is seated. The substrate carrier driver is configured to move the substrate carrier. The sensor is configured to detect an abnormal transfer of the substrate from the first transfer apparatus to the second transfer apparatus and generate a detection signal corresponding to the abnormal transfer of the substrate. The swing apparatus is configured to swing the substrate carrier. The controller is connected to the sensor and the swing apparatus and configured to control the swing apparatus based on the detection signal of the sensor.

An installation for sorting articles comprises a carousel sorting conveyor having transport bins, an article feed magazine in which articles stored loosely are put into series and then injected one-by-one into the transport bins of the conveyor by an injection device, and a monitoring and control unit that acts on the bins so as to open each of them over a receptacle that corresponds to a delivery address of the article, the injection device comprising piston pushers and a system of sensors being provided to generate data representative of an outline of the article seen in plan so as to enable the data processing unit to detect inappropriate positioning of the article before it is injected into a bin, and, in such a situation, direct the improperly positioned article towards a reject receptacle.

There is provided a parcel recognition device that recognizes a parcel based on a color image including the parcel, the device including: a processor; and a memory, in which by cooperating with the memory, the processor subtracts a color of a projection image from a color of an image projection surface of the parcel on which the projection image is projected, in the color image, and sets a color obtained by the subtraction as a color of a recognition target, and recognizes the parcel.
