Abstract
An item identified by a location code is tracked through a transport image in a process controller (48). The transport image is characterized by input data to the specific construction of tracker units (32, 34). Location codes for each item are received by the process controller 48 and tracked by a service routine (152) to set a divert flag or an inject flag (172). Each location code is advanced through sections of the transport image by an INCH routine (200). When the location code matches a pocket identification a divert gate is actuated to remove an item from the distribution system.
