1. A method for determining an inclination of an adjustable component of a goods processing apparatus further including a controller and an inclination sensor, the method comprising:
providing the inclination sensor on the adjustable component, the adjustable component being rotatable about a x-axis of a Cartesian coordinate system, wherein the inclination sensor includes respective transducers at least in a direction of a y-axis and a z-axis;
generating, using the inclination sensor, respective digital measured values for each of the y-axis and the z-axis, and providing the generated digital measured values to the controller;
processing, by the controller, the two digital measured values, the processing including:
determining which of the two digital measured values more accurately represents the inclination of the component, and
selecting the determined one of the two digital measured values that more accurately represents the inclination to derive a valid measured value for the inclination of the component; and
storing, in a memory of the goods processing apparatus, the derived measured value for the inclination of the component.
