Abstract: A mobile, rotatable, transport mechanism may include a rotating carrier having a plurality of conveyor sections. The rotating carrier may be moved within a facility by a robotic drive unit. In addition, the rotating carrier may be rotated between a vertical orientation for transport or storage, and a horizontal orientation for transfer of items or trays. A leveling mechanism may maintain the plurality of conveyor sections in a same relative orientation during rotation of the rotating carrier. Further, a height of the rotating carrier and/or angles of the plurality of conveyor sections may be adjusted to facilitate transfer of trays.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for longitudinal scoring of roll-formed containers. In one embodiment, an example system may include a first scoring device having a first rolling die, a first arm coupled to the first rolling die, a second rolling die, a second arm coupled to the second rolling die, and a first support member configured to support the first arm and the second arm. The first arm and the second arm may be configured to: (i) slide along the first support member, such that a distance between the first rolling die and the second rolling die is adjusted, and (ii) rotate about the first support member from a first position to a second position, such that the first rolling die and the second rolling die move from the first position to the second position. The first scoring device may score ends of the packaging material.
