Disclosed are a method and a device () used to package articles into printed packaging blanks (). In the method, a plurality of packaging blanks are first positioned in a magazine () and subsequently extracted from the magazine (). Subsequently, articles are brought together with the packaging blanks () extracted from the magazine () such that a particular packaging blank () forms a particular packaging or a particular component of a particular packaging for in each instance at least one article. It is moreover provided that the packaging blanks () are printed onto, with the printing onto a packaging blank () being carried out temporally after the positioning of the packaging blank () in the magazine () and temporally before the particular bringing together of the packaging blank () with the particular at least one article. The device () can be operated in a corresponding manner.

Method and device used to handle and print on packaging blanks provided for the packaging of articles

Provided is a method for packaging piece good groupings, in which a plurality of piece goods, particularly containers, are at least partially interconnected by a first connector, wherein at least two-piece goods of this plurality are directly interconnected by the connector. According to the embodiment, this plurality of piece goods connected by the connector is packaged with a second connector in the form of a second wrapping element, and said plurality of piece goods connected by a first connector is conveyed by a conveyor device to a packaging device and enclosed, particularly wrapped, with the second wrapping element by said packaging unit.

Method and device for forming container groupings

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for handling piece goods () moved one after another being transported to a seizing range () of at least one manipulator (). Hereby at least two transported piece goods () are seized, spatially separated from the closed formation (F) and brought into a specified relative first target position (P) and/or target alignment in relation to the subsequent piece goods (). There at least one of the piece goods () is released. The at least one second piece good () seized from the formation (F) is seized again and is brought into a specified relative second target position and/or target alignment that is spaced apart from the first target position (P).

Method and apparatus for handling piece goods moved one after the other in at least one row

The invention relates to a method and apparatus () for handling piece goods () for forming a palletizable layer or partial layer, with the piece goods () being moved in at least two parallel rows () and the layer comprising a plurality of piece goods (). At least two piece goods () that are transported beside each other in parallel rows () are seized in a clamping and/or force-locking and/or form-locking manner, are then spatially separated from the at least two parallel rows () and are then brought into a specified relative target position (P, P) and/or target alignment in relation to subsequent piece goods (). The apparatus () comprises at least one manipulator () for piece goods (), and at least one transport device (), where the piece goods () arranged in at least two parallel rows ().

Method and apparatus for handling piece goods moved in at least two parallel rows

A device for handling containers and/or packagings, includes a first handling unit which handles the containers and/or packagings in a first predetermined manner, and a second handling unit which handles the containers and/or packagings in a second predetermined manner, a transport unit for transporting the containers and/or packagings, and a monitoring unit for monitoring the device. The monitoring unit includes an unmanned and remote-controlled flying device and a control unit for wirelessly controlling the flying device, wherein the flying device has an image capturing unit, and wherein the device has a delimiting unit which delimits a flying region of the flying device.
