ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for handling of packages containing goods in a warehouse and for verifying contents of the packages includes conveying the packages through consecutive stations; performing a plausibility check on the packages by generating and outputting signals which are indicative of respective plausibility parameters, and inputting the electrical signals to the computer for effecting a plausibility determination, the plausibility check being composed of weighing the packages and outputting a signal indicative of weight; measuring volume of the packages and outputting a signal indicative of volume; and measuring at least one property of the goods contained in the packages and outputting a signal indicative of the at least one property; and inputting electrical signals outputted from the identifying and performing steps to the computer; comparing the respective signals inputted to the computer with respective predetermined data stored in the computer and generating a plausibility determination including a contents verification determination as respective output signals as a function of the comparisons for effecting destination control of the packages and for effecting verification of the contents of the packages; and conveying packages whose contents are verified as correct to one of a storage location or to an exit of the warehouse for delivery to a customer, and conveying packages whose contents are not verified as correct to an error inspection location. Preferably the method is fully automated and includes identifying the packages with an information reader and outputting a signal to the computer.
