ABSTRACT:
A method includes deducting selected ones of a plurality of products from a first sorting and/or sequencing system to a conveying system, and determining data including at least one of: a predicted position of each of the selected ones of the plurality of products within the conveying system, and speed and direction of conveyors of the conveying system. The method also includes controlling movement of the selected ones of the plurality of products through the conveying system by controlling speed and direction of the conveyors based upon the determined data, and inducting the selected ones of the plurality of products onto a second sorting and/or sequencing system.
