Abstract (en)

[origin: US2009074558A1] A method and device for processing and transporting items, particularly mail items, measure a processing attribute for each item. A value which each predefined feature assumes for the item is measured. A data record for the item is generated including the measured feature values and the measured processing attribute value. The item is transferred into an intermediate storage device, into a transport device and to a processing system. After reaching the processing system, a value is newly measured which each predefined feature assumes for this item. The data record generated for this item is determined using the feature values from the new measurement. If this item has an identification read clearly during the new measurement, the data record is determined based on this identification. Otherwise, a search with a restricted search space is executed. The processing system processes the item using the processing attribute value in the determined data record.
