Abstract: Disclosed is a robotic system including a telescoping transport conveyor with an automated unloader attached. The automated unloader includes a loading conveyor with at least two articulated robots attached to the first loading conveyor end. The automated unloader includes a control system with logic controlling the unloading of material to be handled from a transport container onto the telescoping transport conveyor, and thence to an automated palletizing system, where materials are loaded on pallets and supported by a pallet sleeve during storage or during transport to a stabilization system where pallet loads are stretch wrapped. Further disclosed are methods for controlling and operating the same to fully automate product unloading, handling, and distribution throughout a material handling facility.

Abstract: Parcel processing systems and methods. A parcel processing system includes a parcel singulation transport configured to transport a stream of singulated parcels. The parcel processing system includes a parcel sorter configured to sort individual parcels in the stream of singulated parcels into a plurality of buffers. Multiple buffers comprise a set of buffers corresponding to a single load builder, and each buffer accumulates and buffers sorted parcels before transfer to the load builder. The parcel processing system includes a parcel flow merge configured to selectively receive buffered parcels from each of the buffers in the set and feed the received parcels to the load builder. The parcel processing system includes the load builder, configured to receive the parcels from the parcel flow merge and build successive stacks of parcels on a parcel pallet.

Abstract: A case manipulator receives cases from an infeed conveyer and manipulates individual cases or groups of cases and transfers the manipulated cases to a row accumulator platform in a desired and pre-determined orientation and positioned on the accumulator platform to a desired and pre-determined location. The manipulation of individual cases, or groups of cases, is continued in a sequential operation until a complete row is formed on the accumulator platform according to a pre-determined build menu. The case manipulator includes a swing plate pivotal on a first axis and a paddle arm that is attached to the swing plate and pivotal on a second axis that is transverse to the first axis. The invention allows the palletizer to have the next case in a row transferred from the infeed conveyer to the row-build staging area while the case manipulator is operating on an already-delivered case.
