Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018229077A2] The invention relates to a method (100) for handling regularly conveyed and/or aligned and/or non-upright articles in a product flow for avoiding errors. The method (100) comprises the following steps: - recognising at least one product as a non-upright product in a product flow as an error, - carrying out a correction step of resolving the error, the correction step consisting of removing the at least one product detected as a non-upright product from the product flow or from a transfer of the respective at least one product detected as not being upright in an upright orientation, wherein - temporally in front of and/or temporally overlapping, in the correction step, a defined action is carried out on the at least one product detected as being non-upright and/or other non-upright products in the product flow, the defined action being designed to prevent errors when carrying out the correction step.
