A method is provided for controlling a system or a device for recognizing, checking, counting, accounting and sorting objects of value, which can be automatically adapted to changing delivery and demand conditions. A control controls the transport paths and processing steps within the device with the aid of conveyor plants and corresponding diverters and optimizes them in such a way that the objects of value are transported in a targeted fashion to the processing stages which are necessary for the processing of the objects of value. The control takes into account information about the components of the device as well as the inbound-delivered objects of value and the objects of value to be delivered outbound in order to ensure optimal processing of the objects of value or to deliver ordered packs of objects of value outbound as quickly as possible.

Controlling a system for handling valuable objects and preparing/outputting packs of valuable objects

The filling of value documents cassettes involves a cassette receiving device for receiving a value document cassette and a gripping device for transporting a value document stack from a value document container into the value document cassette. The apparatus optionally has a formatting device for the automatic alignment of a value document stack removed from the value document container before the stack is inserted in the value document cassette. A finger element is attached to the transport device of the gripping device, and besides the gripping device, the finger element is guided into the value document cassette before the value documents are inserted.

Filling of boxes for valuable documents

An assembly and a method for processing value documents such that the assembly has a transport apparatus for value-document receptacles which forms a cyclically circulating transport loop for the value-document receptacles. At least one checking apparatus for checking value documents is connected to the transport apparatus in such a manner that a respective value-document stack, possibly together with its value-document receptacle, can be transported via the respective transport interface from the cyclically circulating transport loop to the respective checking apparatus and/or from the respective checking apparatus to the cyclically circulating transport loop. The cyclically circulating transport loop is self-contained in such a manner that the value-document receptacles can circulate around the cyclically circulating transport loop several times in the same direction of circulation, and thus allows a temporally flexible removal of the respective value-document stack.
