Abstract: An object induction system is disclosed for assigning handling parameters to an object. The system includes an analysis system, an association system, and an assignment system. The analysis system includes at least one characteristic perception system for providing perception data regarding an object to be processed. The association system includes an object information database and assigns association data to the object responsive to commonality with of any of the characteristic perception data with any of the characteristic recorded data. The assignment system is for assigning programmable motion device handling parameters to the indicia perception data based on the association data, and includes a workflow management system as well as a separate operational controller.
