In a method for inserting piece goods (S) into containers (B) by means of a picking line the relative speed between the feed of the containers (B) and the feed of the piece goods (S) is controlled in the area of the picking line. In this case the relative speed is controlled as a function of a filling level of at least one storage element (3 3', 3'', 4).

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 28, 2003 and granted October 18, 2011. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 28, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 28, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
