Abstract: Systems and methods related to rotary sortation and storage systems may include a central beam, and a plurality of storage modules coupled to the central beam. Each storage module may include a plurality of trays arranged around the central beam. The plurality of trays may be configured to rotate around the central beam, and each tray may also be configured to extend or retract relative to the central beam. Further, each storage module may be configured to rotate the plurality of trays around the central beam independently of other storage modules, and each tray may also be configured to extend or retract relative to the central beam independently of other trays. Accordingly, the rotary sortation and storage systems may increase storage density while also facilitating various processes with improved speed, efficiency, throughput, and flexibility.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for automated gates to secure mobile carrier unit payloads. In one embodiment, an example system for a mobile carrier unit of a sortation system may include an automated gate configured to block an open end of the mobile carrier unit in a first position, and to unblock the open end of the mobile carrier unit in a second position, and a controller configured to control operation of the gate. The controller may be configured to determine that the conveyor belt is activated, cause the automated gate to move to the second position, determine that the item is off the conveyor belt, and cause the automated gate to move to the first position.

Abstract: Conveying systems for transporting sealed containers, such as boxes, may be provided with one or more delta robots configured to cut one or more adhesive tapes or other layers provided on the sealed containers. The delta robots may include one or more blades or other cutting implements on end effectors, which may be repositioned by the delta robots in response to instructions. Such instructions may be generated based on images or imaging data captured from the sealed containers, which may be analyzed to recognize features, locations and orientations of the adhesive tapes or other layers applied across faces, seams or edges of the sealed containers. Using such robots, the sealed containers may be partially or completely opened prior to reaching one or more workers, who may quickly and efficiently access the internal contents of such containers with limited effort.
Abstract translation: 用于运输密封容器（例如箱子）的输送系统可以设置有一个或多个三角机器人，其被配置为切割设置在密封容器上的一个或多个粘合带或其它层。 三角洲机器人可以包括末端执行器上的一个或多个刀片或其他切割工具，其可以由三角机器人响应于指令重新定位。 可以基于从密封容器捕获的图像或成像数据生成这样的指令，其可以被分析以识别粘合带或其它层施加在密封容器的面，接缝或边缘上的特征，位置和取向。 使用这样的机器人，密封的容器可以在到达一个或多个工人之前被部分地或完全地打开，这些工人可以用有限的努力快速且有效地访问这些容器的内部内容物。

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for automated item sortation and container handling. In one embodiment, an example method may include determining, by a controller, a first item identifier of a first item at an induction portion of a sortation system, determining an order identifier associated with the first item identifier, and determining a first container associated with the order identifier. The method may include causing a first mobile carrier unit to receive the item, and causing the first mobile carrier unit to deliver the first item to the first container.
