    摘要: 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.

    摘要: This application provides a material conveying method and device, applicable to an unloading device including a robot and a conveyor. The robot includes at least one goods taking or placing apparatus and at least two first storage layers, and the conveyor includes a to-be-placed goods conveying layer and a to-be-taken goods conveying layer arranged in parallel from up to down. According to this application, the goods taking or placing apparatus is controlled to move in a direction perpendicular to the to-be-placed goods conveying layer and the to-be-taken goods conveying layer. When a material obtained from the to-be-taken goods conveying layer exists on the goods taking or placing apparatus, the goods taking or placing apparatus is controlled to place the material on an unoccupied storage layer reached by the goods taking or placing apparatus for the first time during the movement.

    摘要: A method of transmitting electricity including providing a shippable container configured to transport a liquid electrolyte solution to a first charging station. The first charging station is configured to apply electricity to the liquid electrolyte solution. The first charging station charges the liquid electrolyte solution by applying electricity to the liquid electrolyte solution. The charged liquid electrolyte solution is loaded into the shippable container and transported to a discharging station. The electrolyte solution is electrically discharged at the discharging station and subsequently transported to a second charging station.

    摘要: A method for unloading a container having packages with a rail device comprising a rail having a hand element displaceable in the longitudinal direction. The hand element has a plurality of finger elements having two flexible flank elements extending jointly from one end to the opposite end of the finger element. Each are connected flexibly to each other via a plurality of webs. The finger elements adjustable from a curved position into an extended position and back. The packages are stacked in the container forming a front face in which the rail device is brought close to the front face of the stacked packages. One hand element grips one package from the stack of packages and removes it from the stack. Following the removal, it is displaced along the rail and following the displacement grips one further package and removes it from the stack of packages.

    摘要: A device and method for providing temporary storage of dirty washing in a store in front of the continuous washing machines to be loaded. The laundry reaches the store by a first non-constant conveyor, is taken from the store by a second non-constant conveyor and transported to the continuous washing machine which is then loaded with this laundry. In commercial laundries, for example, continuous washing machines are loaded with dirty washing from laundry bags. The laundry bags hang from a rail transport system and are partly transported to the continuous washing machines under force of gravity. The laundry bags in the rail transport system establish the order of loading of the continuous washing machine. The rail transport systems are extremely susceptible to fault, in particular in their downward sloping sections for transport under force of gravity, and require a great deal of space in the laundry.

    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus (10) and method for handling moved piece goods (2), and a conveying, processing, and/or packaging plant including the apparatus (10). The apparatus (10) comprises at least one manipulator (5) for piece goods (2), at least one transport device (3) by which the moved piece goods (2) are transportable to a seizing range (4) of the at least one manipulator (5), and at least one movable optical detection device (40) assigned to the seizing range (4) and/or to a movement range of the at least one manipulator (5). The optical detection device (40) obtains space coordinates and/or position data and/or contour data of at least one piece good (2) that is being moved. The at least one manipulator (5) and/or further conveyor components of the apparatus (10) can be calibrated and/or controlled based on the detected space coordinates and/or position data and/or contour data.
