Abstract

Intralogistic conveyor arrangement (1), adapted to convey an object (9) from at least one feed-in station (F) selectively to a destination (D), in particular a selected destination from a plurality of destinations (D), the conveyor arrangement (1), comprising, - a plurality of conveyor zones (2), each at lest some of said conveyor zones (2) is are adapted to convey an object (9) from an inlet (I) of said conveyor zone (2) to an outlet (O) of said conveyor zone (2), - a conveyor communication network (N), the conveyor communication network (N) comprising a) a plurality of zone controllers (11), adapted to control the operation of the conveyor zones (2), b) a bus connection (13) connecting the zone controllers (11) to each other; wherein said conveyor zones (2) are arranged in a manner, that said object (9) can be transferred from an outlet (O) of a previous conveyor zone (2) to an inlet (I) of a subsequent conveyor zone (2); wherein said conveyor communication network (N) is adapted to transmit object conveying information (14C) between the zone controllers (11), wherein said conveyor communication network (N) is adapted to transmit enhanced object information (14P, 14R).
