A method for operating a palletizing device for palletizing piece goods, is suitable for operating a palletizing device including at least one control device and at least one display device, wherein it is displayed to a user on the display device in the response to a stop of the palletizing device, which piece goods may/must be removed from the process and/or which piece goods may/must not be removed from the process. The palletizing device for palletizing piece goods includes a conveying device with a conveying element for conveying piece goods and a depositing table, wherein the conveying device includes a rotating device for rotating the piece goods. A control device and a display device are furthermore provided, wherein the control device is suitable and formed to carry out the above-described method.

A method includes defining a configuration of physical bundles on a physical support surface, providing a bundle computer model of at least one of the physical bundles and providing a conveyor computer model of a physical conveyor. The physical conveyor is a conveyor configured to carry the physical bundles from an upstream end of the physical conveyor to a downstream end and to deposit the physical bundles on the physical support surface. The physical conveyor includes a controller and at least one adjustment section configured to adjust a position and/or orientation of the physical bundles. Also using a processor running the conveyor computer model to automatically determine from the conveyor computer model and the bundle computer model a control data set including instructions for causing the controller to operate the physical conveyor to produce the configuration of the given number of the physical bundles on the physical support surface.
