Abstract: An article movement detection system includes a first sensor and a second sensor disposed facing a movement path of an article and is capable of individually detecting that the article has moved, and a detection unit detecting movement of the article on the basis of a first output being output from the first sensor and a second output being output from the second sensor. The first sensor and the second sensor are disposed at different positions in a moving direction of the article, and a first detection signal and a second detection signal are output with a time lag therebetween. The detection unit detects movement of the article on the basis of the first detection signal and the second detection signal.

Abstract: [Problem] To enable overlapping products to be distinguished.[Solution] A method of generating training data 40 is a method of generating training data 40 used to generate a computing unit X for a product identification apparatus 10 that computes, from a group image in which there are one or more types of products G, the quantities of each of the products G included in the group image. The training data 40 includes plural learning group images 41 and labels 42 assigned to each of the plural learning group images 41. The method of generating the training data 40 includes a first step of acquiring individual images 43a1 to 43a6, 43b1 to 43b6, 43c1 to 43c6 in each of which there is one product G of one type and a second step of generating the plural learning group images 41 including one or more of the products G by randomly arranging the individual images. The plural learning group images 41 generated in the second step include learning group images 41 in which the individual images at least partially overlap each other.

Abstract: A film roll supporting device comprises a shaft body part, a shaft tip part, and a projection part. The shaft body part extends through a central hole of a film roll and having the film roll mounted thereon. The shaft tip part extends in an axis direction of a shaft from one end of the shaft body part on a side to be inserted into the central hole of the film roll. The projection part extends in a direction intersecting the axis direction of the shaft body part from the shaft tip part. The projection part abuts from below to a core of the film roll provisionally placed on the shaft tip part when the mounting of the film roll is performed. A cutout recessed in a direction intersecting the axis direction of the shaft body part is formed in the projection part.

Abstract: A form-fill-seal machine is configured to adjust for changes in the thickness of bags within a short time, and is provided with seal jaws, gas removal members, an air cylinder, and a control unit. The seal jaws transverse-seal a cylindrical film in a widthwise direction forming a bag. The gas removal members come into contact against the bag prior to transverse sealing of an upper edge part, discharging a gas upward from the bag. The air cylinder moves the gas removal members, switching the position of the gas removal members between a first position and a second position with respect to the seal jaws. The control unit, in a time slot just prior to the start of a transverse sealing action performed by the seal jaws, changes the timing of switching between the first position and the second position, and adjusts the amount of gas discharged from the bag.
