A storage device (') for storing transport units (′) includes a number of transport units (′), a number of storage lines (′-′) which are configured to store transport units (′), a feeding line (′) which is connected by a respective first switch point (′) to the storage lines (′-′), a measuring device (′) which is arranged on the feeding line (′) and which is configured to determine a respective extent of a transport unit (′), and a controller (′) which is connected to the measuring device (′) and to the first switch pointes (′) and which is configured to select a storage line (′-′) for storing the transport unit (′) on the basis of the extent of the transport unit (′) determined by the measuring device (′).

Storage device for storing transport units

A control device controls a processing installation for the production of collections of printed products, wherein the processing installation includes installation sections which combine input streams of part products into output streams of collections of these part products. Control units are assigned to the installation sections and which, on the basis of a predefined product requirement (Pa, Pa, Pa, Pa, Pa, Pa), activate the assigned installation section for the production of a respective output stream. In each case a control unit is set up to obtain product requirements from the master control or from a different control unit, and to produce product requirements for the control unit of an installation section arranged upstream.
