Abstract

Conveying system for transporting a material flow (M) comprising a large number of individual objects (O1, O2, . . . ), characterized in that with the conveying system, by means of optical detection of individual objects (O1, O2, . . . ) in the material flow (M), for these objects (O1, O2, . . . ) respectively the location position (x(t),y(t)) thereof at several different times (t−4, t−3, . . . ) can be determined and by means of the location positions (x(t),y(t)) for these objects (O1, O2, . . . ) determined at the different times (t−4, t−3, . . . ), respectively the location (xb(tb),yb(tb)) thereof at at least one defined time (tb) after the respectively latest of the different times (t−4, t−3, . . . ) can be calculated.
