Abstract

A distribution installation for piece goods moved on a conveyor track which are distributed from a common feed conveyor to several stations of a distribution conveyor; each piece good is provided for that purpose with a coding containing an information which is detected or scanned within the area of an objective field of a scanning station arranged upstream of the distribution conveyor by a video camera connected to an electrical evaluation circuit in order to determine an exit information; to speed up and simplify the distribution, the video camera is arranged vertically above the detection station and each piece good is moved through the objective field non-oriented in the transverse direction and angularly independent about the vertical axis with a coding disposed at the top thereof which consists of a single bar group or the like whose precise detection for position and content is made possible by positioning bars and is thus reduced to a short period of time; the detection efficiency is thus unequivocal and numerically high.
