A method for removing a piece good from a conveying means of a sorting system, includes the steps generating image data by means of a camera arranged on a conveyor line; by means of a controller, detecting a piece good not placed completely in the cell area on the conveying means on the basis of the image data generated; generating a blowoff command for a blowoff device arranged on the conveyor line, wherein the blowoff command is generated while considering a time of the generation of the image data, a conveying speed of the conveying means, and an arrangement of the camera, the conveyor line and the blowoff device relative to one another; and by means of the blowoff device, blowing off the piece good not placed completely in the cell area on the conveying means on the basis of the blowoff command.

System (1) for sorting products, comprising: a conveyor (11) comprising carrying bodies (113) one after another, extending parallel to each other, the carrying bodies associated with a pusher body (114), an electric motor (117) for moving the pusher body along the carrying body in a sort direction, a central control server (12) arranged for transmitting destination data relating to a sorting locationa plurality of controllers (13), in communication with the central control server and moveable in the transport direction, each to control two or more electrical motors in accordance with destination data received from the central control server, a stationary Access Point, AP (14), communicating with the server, anda pair of stationary radiating cables (15, 16) connected to the AP, one radiating cable extending in the transport direction and the other radiating cable extending against the transport direction, the radiating cables arranged for communication with the controllers.

The present invention provides an automatic logistics sorting apparatus including LNB sorters. The automatic logistics sorting apparatus includes: a transfer conveyor configured such that a plurality of LNB sorters spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance are installed in the form of an endless track in order to transfer the products in one direction; LNB sorters configured to sort and discharge the products in a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the transfer conveyor; a wireless communicator installed in each of the LNB sorters in order to enable wireless communication with a server so that the products can be sorted in a direction orthogonal to the transfer conveyor; and a power connection unit installed to supply power to the wireless communicator and the roller motor that are installed on the LNB sorter.

A sorter system includes a frame, a conveying surface, sensors, and a control system. The conveying surface is configured to move relative to the frame in a direction of conveyance. The conveying surface includes timing sections spaced apart from each other with known pitches between adjacent timing sections, wherein each of the timing sections comprises a marker. The sensors are fixed along a length of the frame. The sensors are configured to output trigger signals as the sensors are proximate while the conveying surface moves relative to the frame. The control system is configured to detect a first offset between a package and a particular marker, detect a second offset between the particular marker and a destination for the package, and cause the conveying surface to divert the package in a direction perpendicular to the direction of conveyance based on the first offset and the second offset.
