Abstract
A sorting installation for parcels uses an efficient sorting process based on properties of the parcels. The sorting installation has at least one parcel inlet and a parcel outlet that discharges sorted parcels for external transportation. A conveying mechanism transports the parcels to be sorted from the parcel inlet into a sorting area of the sorting installation. The sorting area has a sorting mechanism that sorts the multiplicity of parcels according to at least one item of parcel-related sorting information and removes them from the conveying mechanism at a transfer station. The sorting area also includes primary buffer stores, which receive and temporarily store parcels sorted by the sorting mechanism according to the parcel-related sorting information. The primary buffer stores are set up to be moved to the at least one transfer station depending on the at least one item of parcel-related sorting information.
