    Abstract: Cable robots may be used to automatically load items onto one or more surfaces in any environment. An item may be received on a carrier that is connected to tensioning actuators of a cable robot by one or more cables in tension. The actuators of the robot may be manipulated in concert to move the carrier from a first position to a second position, which may be fixed or in motion, at which the item may be expelled from the carrier. The carrier may include induction wheels and/or conveyors for receiving the item thereon and for expelling the item therefrom. The cable robot may be provided in series with a conveyor and mounted to a frame, and used to load items onto a delivery vehicle, such that the frame may be withdrawn as items are loaded.

    Abstract: Systems and methods may be provided for determining, assigning and directing containers for transshipment between facilities without using an item-level sortation process and moving containers from a receiving area of a facility to an outbound dock without placing the items into inventory. A facility may or may not have item-level sortation processing. Data indicating received items is received. A determination is made for which of the received containers are for transshipment from the materials handling facility based on multiple factors. Containers in receiving that are determined for transshipment may be directed from receive to outbound docks without placing the items into inventory and without using an item-level sortation process. Pallets may be transshipped without placing the items into inventory and without depalletization. A facility with sortation may switch from item-level sortation of transshipments to container-level crossdock transshipment when a sortation process of a processing line approaches or exceeds capacity.

    Abstract translation: 可以提供系统和方法,用于确定,分配和指挥集装箱在设施之间转运,而不使用物品级分类处理,并将集装箱从设施的接收区域移动到出港码头,而不将物品放入库存。 设施可能会或可能没有项目级的分类处理。 接收到指示接收到的项目的数据。 确定哪些收货集装箱是根据多种因素从物料搬运设施转运的。 接收确定转运的集装箱可以从接收到出港码头,而不将物品放入库存,而不使用物品级的分拣过程。 托盘可以转运而不将物品放在库存中,不进行分配。 当处理线的分拣过程接近或超过容量时,分拣设施可以从物流层次的转运转为容器级交叉口转运。

    Abstract: Transportation plan adjustments based on recommended shipping packages may utilize a shipment data model for a facility that is updated with cubic volumes of recommended packages for received orders. The shipment data model may also be updated with the cubic volumes of the packages that are actually used to pack the orders and transportation utilization data such as assignment of packages to particular transportation resources. A transportation plan may be updated based on the updated shipment data model and transportation utilization data such as which transportation resources have left the facility and how much of the available cubic volume of the resource was used when the resource left the facility. The transportation plan may be updated at times associated with transportation resource change deadlines from one or more transportation resource providers. Adjustments to previously scheduled transportation resources may be made based on the updated transportation plan.
