Abstract
In order to achieve that portions are visually appealing, i.e., centered, with uniform slice distance in a longitudinal direction and also not differing too much in a transverse direction and in particular not resting on a sealing edge of a trough, the corresponding actual arrangement of a portion is determined directly in a packaging machine by means of a camera and, if deviation from a target arrangement is too great, production parameters are changed in an upstream portion production unit, in particular a portioning belt and/or a cutting unit of a slicing machine, and/or an upstream portion delivery unit and/or an upstream package delivery unit.
