Control of conveyor line installations for items of general cargo

Abstract

A process for controlling a conveyor line for general cargo, the conveyor line including a plurality of consecutive conveyor line portions , each of which is driven by a drive. One or more sensors for detecting general cargo are located on at least some of the conveyor line portions. The drives are controlled by means of a computing unit using a machine learning model. The machine learning model accomplishes this by repeatedly receiving input data including a vector of a fixed length, each vector element being associated with a section of the conveyor line and indicating a current proportional occupancy of the respective section by an item of general cargo. Each conveyor line portion is split into a plurality of the sections of identical size. An apparatus or a system for data processing, a computer program, a computer-readable data carrier and a data carrier signal is also provided.
