Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for controlling an automatic flow of products. The system comprises a plurality of transport stations (1a-c) which supply or consume the products , at least one aggregation station (5a-b) on which an aggregation (6a-b) of products is built up or dismounted, a programmable mechanical device (8) adapted to move the products be- t w e e n the transport stations and the aggregation station, a queue for the aggregation station, and at least one computing device (9) having therein program code configured to: receive at least one sequence of operations defining at least a part of a desired flow of products to or from the aggregation station in order to build up or dismount said aggregation of products according to the pattern, load the received sequence of operations to t h e queue of the aggregation station, and repeat the following steps until all operations in the queue have been executed: retrieve next operation from the queue of the aggregation station, select one of the transport stations and control it based on the retrieved operation, and instruct the mechanical unit to perform movement s for transporting a product between the selected transport station and the aggregation station based on the retrieved operation.
