Modularly constructed conveying system having dynamically variable module conveying speeds

A conveying system including a conveying network and a control device for transporting through the conveying network a plurality of conveying goods in accordance with conveying-good specific transport orders during a time frame,

• wherein one of several different conveying criteria and one of the transport orders are allocated to each of the conveying goods,
• wherein the conveying network comprises an entry station, an exit station, and several transport paths,
• wherein each of the transport paths connects the entry station to the exit station, wherein each of the transport paths is operable during each operation-mode phase in one of several different operation modes, wherein the operation modes distinguish from each other in constant transport-path velocities, wherein respectively one of the transport-path velocities is allocated to each of the operation modes based on one of the conveying criteria, and wherein the time frame is defined by several subsequent operation-mode phases,
• wherein the operation modes are selected, by the control device, for each of the transport paths based on the conveying criteria, which are allocated to the allocated conveying goods, respectively for one of the operation-mode phases such that throughput of the conveying goods through the conveying network is optimized during the time frame.
