A distance optimization device (20, 20a-20e) for overhead transport elements (23, 23a-23e), in particular within an overhead conveyor (22), includes at least one sensor unit (21), at least one distance adjustment element (27), and at least one control unit (39). The at least one control unit is designed to control the at least one distance adjustment element on the basis of measurements of the at least one sensor unit of the free space between two adjacent overhead transport elements (23, 23a-23e), so that the distance between the adjacent overhead transport elements (23, 23a-23e) is adjusted in an adaptable and parametrized manner.
