CONTROL OF AN INSTALLATION FOR GATHERING FLEXIBLE PRODUCTS

A method and control system for controlling an installation (1) for gathering flexible individual products (10), in which installation a stream of collections (20), which are from supplied streams that each have one individual product type, can be formed and conveyed to further processing (3). Each collection (20) has a predetermined quantity of individual products (10). Faulty collections (20) containing a supply fault with regard to one or several individual products are not processed separately but are regarded as faultless collections (20) under certain conditions. Accordingly, faulty collections are advantageously not conveyed to a fault corrective action until a quota of the faulty collections exceeds a predetermined reference limit.
