Abstract: A machine for loading a load carrier (20) such as a pallet with packing units (cardboard boxes, collis etc.), which form a load stack (21) on the load carrier, is presented. The machine includes handling and support mechanism (52–57), that allows a packing unit (15) to be loaded. The handling and support mechanism supports the load from below throughout the operation of loading from a feed device (51) onto the load stack. By virtue of the handling and support mechanism, the packing unit may be deposited at any selectable spatial position on the load stack. It is therefore possible to form an optimized load stack on the load carrier in which the packing units are always supported from below, with the result that the loading is not dependent upon the material quality of the packaging of the packing unit.

Abstract: A conveyor system for transport of containers, in particular an airport baggage handling system, includes a conveyor having a curved transport path with one end defining an entry zone and another end defining an exit zone. The containers are moved by a container propulsion mechanism along the curved transport path between the entry and exit zones, wherein the curved transport path is constructed for movement of the containers in an inwardly inclined disposition for reducing centrifugal forces.

Abstract: A conveyor for transporting load carriers, having load-bearing members which are spaced apart parallel to one another on frame parts and are intended for accommodating drivable load-bearing elements which form longitudinally running load-bearing tracks for the load carriers resting on the load-bearing elements. The conveyor may include modular-construction conveying units, and each load-bearing element of at least two laterally spaced-apart load-bearing members of each conveyor unit may comprise an endlessly circulating load-bearing belt, which bears the load carriers and which is supported on load-bearing rollers mounted on the load-bearing members. The conveyor may be provided for transporting load carriers and may be suitable for conveying the load carriers both longitudinally and transversely. The conveyor may transport the load carriers with a lower level of noise, and may allow a high throughput even of large loads. The conveyor may be used cost-effectively both for production and for installation on site.

Abstract: A processing system for automating the packaging, packing, unpacking, transfer/short term storage and loading of flats mail into flats sorters for sortation is disclosed. This involves bundling flats mail into bundles or logs and creating pallets for transporting in a standardized manner at mailer facilities such as publishers so that the sort depth and final destination of the bundle contents are preserved and used throughout its journey through postal facilities. Sort depth and destination bar coding is placed on each bundle. An automated method for palletizing involves creating a stack of bundles on a pallet in a predetermined sequence so that sorting processes in the postal facility become more efficient. Once the pallets are received at the postal facilities, the pallets are broken down in a pre-determined sequence in accordance with the sequence of original creation. The bundles are scanned into the sorter processes of the postal facility where the scanned information concerning destination codes and sort depth facilitates or eliminates routing and sorting within the postal facility, thereby reducing overhead and costs. A system to create pallets using both robotic and conveyor mechanisms is disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for transferring a unit load from one pallet to another pallet or slip sheet without creasing the containers constituting the unit load. In one embodiment the unit load containing pallet and the empty pallet are aligned side-by-side on a platform. The platform is selectively moveable about an axis parallel to the adjacent sides of the pallets between a horizontal position and a tilted position in which the empty pallet is lowermost. A push plate moveable relative to the platform transfers the unit load onto the empty pallet or slip sheet while the platform is tilted. The force required to transfer the unit load is reduced, when contrasted to horizontal transfer, since the component forces of the unit load are changed by the tilting.

Abstract: Pallet transport systems and methods for product intake, stocking, and retrieval are disclosed. The systems and methods may include performing steps for: receiving a first user input corresponding to a group identification code; receiving a second user input corresponding to one or more tote identification codes to be loaded on a pallet; assigning the one or more tote identification codes to a group corresponding to the group identification code; assigning the group identification code to a location based on one or more items associated with the one or more tote identification codes; activating a conveyor to transport the pallet containing the one or more items; determining, using a first sensor input from the weight sensor, a transportability of the pallet; and causing a lift mechanism to transfer the pallet from the conveyor to a self-navigating platform.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transport and handover system for storing and removing or relocating storage goods (1) in high-bay warehouses (2), in particular in a transshipment facility of a seaport or inland port for the storage of standard containers, wherein the high-bay warehouse (2) consists of an arbitrary number of warehouse modules (10), which are arranged next to each other in the longitudinal direction and in the width direction of the high-bay warehouse (2) extending transversely to the longitudinal direction and which have a plurality of rack compartments (12) lying one over the other in the vertical direction, said warehouse modules being separated from each other by aisles (11) extending parallel to the storing and removal sides of the rack compartments (12) or warehouse modules (10), wherein at least one storage and retrieval machine (19) that can move back and forth is provided in each aisle (11) for transporting and storing and removing or relocating the storage goods (1), and a storage and retrieval machine (19). Accelerated transfer with fewer steel constructions is achieved in that the high-bay warehouse (2) is designed with at least one transverse conveying device (13; 113), which crosses at least some aisles (11) and conveys the supplied storage goods (1) into the high-bay warehouse (2) and/or out of the high-bay warehouse. For handling of the storage goods (1) provided from below the level of the running rails (20), the base bar of the storage and retrieval machine (19) is designed with a passage opening in a frame-like manner so that the storage goods (1) can be lifted through.
