Abstract
Method for merging, within a logistical warehouse, k incoming flows of payloads, transported respectively by k FIFO conveyor lanes αwith i∈{1, . . . , k} into one outgoing flow of payloads transported by a collector conveyor. The k lanes are distributed along the collector and numbered ato a. Δis a time-related distance between the lanes aand a. A control system obtains a set L having n payloads distributed on the k lanes and having to be injected into the collector to form an exit sequence; computes a date tat which the first payload σof the exit sequence σ passes in front of the lane a; and computes n dates of injection of the n payloads into the collector, as a function of t; and commands the collector and the k alleys, for an injection of the n payloads into the collector in compliance with the injection dates.
