Summary: | An apparatus (1) for handling a multiplicity of articles (9) of an unordered mass flow is disclosed. The apparatus (1) comprises at least one horizontal conveying device (13) for transporting the multiplicity of articles (9) in the unordered mass flow. In addition, the apparatus (1) comprises a sensor arrangement (19) for detecting respective actual positions of the articles (9) transported in the unordered mass flow. Furthermore, the apparatus (1) comprises a plurality of adjacent aisles (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) for articles (9) that follow on from the at least one horizontal conveying device (13) in a direction of flow of the multiplicity of articles (9). The apparatus (1) also includes at least one manipulator (15) which is operatively connected to the at least one sensor arrangement (19) for retrieving at least one article (9) transported in the unordered mass flow. In addition, a desired position is defined in which the particular at least one article (9) is aligned with at least one of the plurality of aisles (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d). |
