An automation system for controlling a loading system and operating method for the loading system which loads or moves a load along a route, wherein a collision between the load and objects in the environment during the loading process is avoided, where a digital load image file describing a spatial overall extent of the load is provided, an environment image file is recorded cyclically via an imaging sensor system, a protective distance is added to data of the load image file to provide a collision model image file, a cutout file is provided as a virtually recorded image file with a viewing angle from the load as a function of the route, a differential image file is provided from the collision model image file and the cutout file via differentiation, and an evaluation step is performed via which the differential image file is examined for a possible collision.
