# System and method for the processing of products

## Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a system for the processing of products. The system comprises a bulk supply conveyor for supplying products; a discharge conveyor for the discharging of products; a transfer robot arranged for transferring products from the bulk supply conveyor to the discharge conveyor; a controller arranged for selecting a product that is to be transferred, from products that are fed with the bulk supply conveyor to the transfer robot, and for controlling the transfer robot; a transfer station for the manual transfer there, to the discharge conveyor, of products that have not been transferred by the transfer robot. The transfer station is provided in such a way that products that have not been transferred by the transfer robot end up at the transfer station. The system comprises several transfer robots. The bulk supply conveyor comprises a main conveyor with several branches, wherein each branch ends up at one of the several transfer robots. The system comprises a respective branch device associated with each branch, which is arranged for causing products to move across from the main conveyor to the respective branch. The system further comprises a branch controller that is arranged for controlling the respective branch devices.
