Abstract
A control system, or process for the automatic control of a moveable bucket wheel device for the reducing of a stockpile and/or for the piling up of bulk goods, whereby the bucket wheel device has a least one bucket wheel for the takeup of bulk goods, at least one measurement device for the measurement of the stockpile and the bucket wheel device is automatically moved to the desired removal and/or piling up position in dependence of the measured and/or processed measurement data. Natural slide processes on the stockpile can be determined in that the control system and the measurement device are constructed or realized in such a way that a continual capture of the actual stockpile shape is guaranteed independent of the operation of the bucket wheel shovel namely an actual change of the stockpile shape can be captured at least in a certain vicinity of the bucket wheel.
