A system for route planning and loading transport vehicles comprises a computer having a database with shipment data allocated to objects for transport. The computer uses the shipment data per object for each transport vehicle to generate a first route plan for object delivery on a transport date. A conveyor belt conveys objects according to the route plan to the allocated transport vehicles. A checking station checks for a route plan for passing objects and signals an error if there is no route plan. A recognition station uses the error signal to indicate new shipment data to the computer. The computer allocates the object with the new data to an appropriate vehicle, during conveyance to the transport vehicles, and converts the first route plan for the transport vehicle into a second route plan considering the new shipment data.
A system for route planning for transport vehicles and for loading the transport vehicles with objects to be transported, the system comprising a computer system having a database with shipment data allocated to the objects to be transported, the computer system creating by means of the shipment data allocated to the objects for each transport vehicle an allocated first route plan for the objects to be delivered on a date of distribution with the respective transport vehicle, and the system comprising a means of conveyance, preferably a conveyor belt, conveying the objects to be transported according to the route plan to the allocated transport vehicles,
A method for route planning for transport vehicles and loading the transport vehicles with objects to be transported, wherein the objects to be transported are allocated shipment data in a computer system having a database, comprising the steps of:
