Abstract
A method for controlling the material flow of goods to be conveyed in a conveyor system of a real warehouse by a virtual three-dimensional model, for which purpose the conveyor system of the real warehouse is virtualized in a central computer, for which purpose a virtual three-dimensional model of the real conveyor system having the dimensions of the individual conveyor components and the movement parameters thereof, including the actuator properties and the identity, shape and position of the goods to be conveyed, is stored, and the conveyor system of the real warehouse is centrally controlled from the virtual model, images of the goods to be conveyed in the real conveyor system are cyclically captured by sensors, and the virtual model is cyclically compared with the reality on the basis of the recorded images.
