Abstract

The invention relates to a method for automatically controlling at least two drivable belts in a system. The belts are each configured to transport containers in a first or second direction. The system comprises a machine that is upstream of the belts and/or a machine that is downstream of the belts. The method comprises: detecting a first operating state of the upstream machine and/or detecting a second operating state of the downstream machine; furthermore determining a speed to be selected for each of the belts based on the first and/or second operating state; and controlling the belts in accordance with the speed to be selected. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method, wherein the system comprises a machine that is upstream of the belts and/or a machine that is downstream of the belts.
