    Abstract: An edge justification device for a mail processing machine. The device shifts the mailpiece from bottom edge justified to top edge justified. The amount of shift is determined as a function of the height of the mail piece. One embodiment solves the problem of switching from bottom to top registration by having a series of steerable nips, which are arranged in line, parallel to the mail flow direction. As the mail piece travels though the justifier, the nips will rotate to impart a lateral velocity to the mail piece, shifting it over to properly justify it. In a further embodiment, the nips of the justification device are not steerable. Rather, a whole nip assembly that is transporting the mail piece is moved laterally to switch from bottom to top justification.

    Abstract: A system for sorting and dispensing packages can include a flip gate assembly. The flip gate assembly can include a base, an inclined surface, one or more support legs extending from the base to the inclined surface, an actuator attached to the base, and a flip gate pivotably attached to the inclined surface. The flip gate can be configured to be actuated by the actuator between a retracted configuration, in which a top side of the flip gate is planar with a top surface of the inclined surface, and an extended configuration, in which the top side of the flip gate is disposed at an angle with respect to the top surface of the inclined surface.

    Abstract: A transport container for receiving and transporting goods within a transport or distribution system by conveyor belts and/or roller conveyors. The transport container includes a base from which four sidewalls extend. At least two opposing sidewalls each have a predefined code section to apply a machine-readable code, in particular a barcode or a QR code, and at least one opening, in particular a plurality of slots extending from the base to the upper edge of the sidewall. The openings in the two opposing sidewalls, in particular those openings which are located directly adjacent to and/or at the same height as the predefined code sections, are arranged offset from one another. A system can include the transport container, a conveyor system, and a scanning device.

    Abstract: A multi-tiered automated parcel sortation system is utilized to sort parcels according to a common destination. A first tier includes an automated sorter configured to transport parcels from a source location to a release destination. A second tier includes accumulation containers each associated with a shipping destination, and the release destination within the first tier is a positioned directly above the accumulation container associated with the shipping destination of the parcel. Once transported to the release destination, a parcel is released into the accumulation container, and once the accumulation container is filled, the accumulation of parcels within the container is released into a third tier, which may include conveyors or autonomous guided vehicles with transport containers. In the third tier, the parcels are transported away for further processing.

    Abstract: A package sort cell includes a robot with an end of arm tool for transporting packages from an in-feed conveyor to a selected one of a plurality of out-feed conveyors or bins, the robot receiving instruction from the package reader as to which of the plurality of conveyors or bins to hand-off the package. An end of arm tool may be in the configuration of a conveyor which may be aligned with the out-feed conveyor on a bottom up movement. The end of arm tool may also be in the configuration of a hanging carriage frame suspending a conveyor in a top down movement. A worker platform may be provided which may be movable between in-use and out-of-use positions whereby upon robot downtime, the platform may move into the in-use position for a worker to temporarily takeover the transfer functions of the robot. A plurality of sort cells may be arranged in side by side relation adjacent a like plurality of package delivery points (e.g., truck bays) and include diverter conveyors to allow diversion of a selected quantity of packages from one cell to an adjacent cell when the adjacent cell has no associated package delivery occurring at that time.

    Abstract: A device for storing packages, in particular parcels, for arrangement on a conveyor line is disclosed. The device includes at least one receiving means arranged at least partially between at least two fastening elements, the receiving means having at least one receiving surface for arranging the packages on the receiving surface, at least one first detection means for measuring inflow data indicative of the inflow of packages to the receiving means, and at least one control means for controlling a change of the at least one receiving surface. The at least one control means changes the at least one receiving surface of the at least one receiving means depending on the inflow data measured by the at least one first detection means. Also disclosed is a method for storing packages, in particular parcels, preferably by means of the aforementioned device.

    Abstract: A parcel transfer system transfers a parcel or a similar article directly between a conveyor and a self-driving vehicle (“SDV”) while the conveyor and SDV are moving. The conveyor, SDV, or both may be configured to initially transport a parcel in a first direction of travel and then subsequently offload the parcel in a second direction of travel. The SDV is configured to travel alongside of the conveyor in the first direction of travel and either receive the parcel as it is offloaded from the conveyor or offload the parcel onto the conveyor in the second direction of travel. The parcel transfer system further includes a vision and control subsystem, which regulates movement of the SDV and offloading of the parcel from the conveyor or SDV.
