Abstract: A method for unloading packages from a container, in particular a roller container. The method requires relatively little space, and the method involves a container guide and a conveyor belt, in which the containers are moved successively along a container path by the container guide. At least in some section or sections, the conveyor belt extends to the side of and at least substantially parallel to the container path. The containers are tipped sideways in the direction of the conveyor belt during the movement along the container guide and along the conveyor belt predetermined by the container path. The packages slide out of the tipped containers onto the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt conveys the packages that have slid out of the container onwards, and the emptied tipped containers are righted again during the movement along the container guide predetermined by the container path.

Abstract: As disclosed herein, an apparatus receives data from sensors that are arranged in a repository facility so they can capture repository locations of the repository facility and a path in the repository facility. It derives an identification and a position of an object in the repository facility from the received data. It causes storage of the position of the object in association with its identification if a position is not yet stored for the object. If a position is already stored for the object, the apparatus checks the position on the basis of the derived position and causes storage of the derived position in the event of a change. On obtaining an enquiry in regard to the position of an object in the repository facility, the apparatus reads a position of the object, stored in association with the identification of the object, and provides information regarding the position.
