ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the invention, a control system is provided for maximizing flow rate and sorting rate by minimizing the spacing between articles of varying length. The system measures the length of the articles and controls their movement into the sortation system so as to minimize spacing between the articles. The system permits maximizing the rate of sortation while taking into account conveyor speed, length of time for diverting to zones, length of the articles and spacing between them. In addition, the system is arranged to prevent false signals due to tags and the like.
