    摘要: A case rotating system configured to rotate cases, such as boxes, in a case management system such that the cases are oriented in a consistent manner upon leaving the case rotating system. In at least one embodiment, the case rotating system may be configured to cause a case in a case rotating module to be rotated such that a short side of the case leads the case as the case leaves the case rotating module. The case rotating module may be formed from one or more conical rollers configured to rotate cases into a consistent orientation. The case rotating system may rotate cases that are in an incorrect orientation into a correct orientation. In addition, the case rotating system may operate such that cases entering the case rotating system in a correct orientation may not be rotated but may remain in a correct orientation upon leaving the case rotating system.

    摘要: A method for stacking cases on a pallet includes supplying cases to a buffer, determining physical characteristics of buffer cases including dimensions of a case base and case height, and determining available positions on the pallet where a buffer case can be placed. Rules for selecting a case from the buffer for placement on the pallet are applied to at least a portion of the buffer cases to identify a selected buffer case that satisfies at least one of the rules and a corresponding place on the pallet for the selected case. Then the selected case is removed from the buffer and placed on the pallet in the corresponding place by an industrial robot.

    摘要: An novel apparatus and technique may be used to induct articles onto a conveyor comprising at least one conveyor belt that moves articles along a first path that extends in a first direction. The apparatus may be used to move an article along a second path that extends in a second direction, which is transverse to the first direction, to a first position above but not in contact with the at least one conveyor belt. After the article has been moved to the first position above but not in contact with the at least one conveyor belt, the apparatus may be used to move the article onto the at least one conveyor belt.

    摘要: Described is an object transport system that includes a plurality of roller tracks and roller guides. The roller tracks each include a plurality of rollers. Each roller track includes a keyway capable of receiving a key or interlocking component included in a roller track guide. The guide attaches to one side of the roller track. When the guide and roller track are interlocked, the roller track is perpendicular to the one side of the roller track to assist in controlling the movement of objects on the rollers of the roller track. The system includes pairs of roller tracks arranged such that for an n-pair arrangement of roller tracks, nnull1 guides are used.

    摘要: A conveyor having a conveyor surface has along the lateral edges rotating guide elements. The rotating guide elements rotate on axes of rotation that lie in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the conveyor surface, and also in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the path of the conveyor. Each guide element has an outer circumferential surface that engages the lateral sides of a conveyed article on the conveyor surface to rotate the guide element, substantially eliminating sliding or rubbing contact between the conveyed article and the lateral guide elements.
