Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of controllably conveying an object. The method comprises the steps of determining an intended conveying of the object, dividing, on the basis of a predefined profile for a second section (G) of the conveying, the intended conveying of the object into a first section (F) and a second section (G), conveying the object the first section (F), conveying the object the second section (G), and, during the second section (G) of the conveying of the object, registering an actual position of a predefined element linked to the object. The present invention further relates to an apparatus for reducing this method into practice.
