Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1041006A2] The method involves detecting the quantity of finished or partially finished products such as cigarettes or cigarette packet products in stores by continuous or cyclic measurement. The amount to be produced is compared with the amount already produced. the amount already produced reaches a critical amount, the production units are set back in succession, run empty and finally switched off. Any stores are emptied so as to give the desired amount of products. An Independent claim is included for a method of controlling a production and packing line. An apparatus is also claimed.
