Abstract
Equipment for handling postal articles, in particular for preparing a delivery round, includes a sorting machine () with a feed inlet () and sorting outlets (). The articles () sorted into the sorting outlets are transported in storage trays () by shuttle robot carts (). A monitoring and control unit () causes the shuttle robot carts with full trays of articles to move from the sorting outlets to the feed inlet and causes the shuttle robot carts with empty trays to move past the sorting outlets, where the shuttle robot carts move in convoys and in a target-seeking mode.
