Abstract

The invention refers to a Method (69) for automatically inserting at least one part (13) into a storage section (15) of a container (11), wherein the storage section (15) comprises a plurality of holder means (17a-d), wherein the part (13) is inserted (103) by means of an insertion tool (49), and wherein the method (69) comprises the step of detecting (93) the position of the holder means (17a-d) by means of at least one optical sensor (51a-d). In order to provide a method for automatically inserting a part into a storage section (15), wherein collisions are avoided it is suggested that the method (69) further comprises the steps of verifying (95) whether the holder means (17a-d) of a certain storage section (15) are available for insertion of the part (13); detecting (99) the orientation of the holder means (17a-d); determining (100) an insertion path (47) along which the part is inserted; and inserting (103) the part (13) into the available storage section (15) along the determined insertion path (47).
