ABSTRACT:
In a transport method, a leading object is diverted from an initial direction to a target direction and transported and stopped by a guiding facility. If the following object has reached a specific position during transport in the initial direction, the guiding facility triggers continuation of the transport of the leading object, diverts the following object to the target direction, and transports the following object in the target direction. If a determined sum of the thicknesses of the objects is less than or equal to a predetermined thickness limit, continuation of the transport of the leading object is triggered such that the following object moves onto the leading object when diverted and overlaps the leading object when transported in the target direction. If the thickness sum is greater than the thickness limit, continuation of the transport of the leading object is triggered such that a gap exists between the objects.
