METHOD FOR SEQUENCING LOADS IN AN AUTOMATED TIMING SYSTEM, WITH REDUCTION OF A DISTURBANCE DURING A LOAD COLLECTION ON A MANIFOLD

A method for sequencing loads in an automated load-distribution system having k sources with k≥2; at least one destination; k FIFO-type source buffer devices, each receiving loads from one of the k sources; a collector collecting the loads from the k source buffer devices and transporting them to the at least one destination. The collector includes k successive nodes each configured to collect the loads from one of the source buffer devices. The control system processes customer orders listing loads for a given destination and being each associated with a sequential order number of destination. The control system: builds a collection list containing n loads to be collected and reducing a disorder of the n loads relative to a rising order of the sequential order numbers of destination; and controls the collector and the source buffer devices to collect loads compliant with the collection list.
