Abstract: Method and apparatus for sensing and detecting parcel flow density on a selected section of a feed conveyor and receiving conveyor and for adjusting conveyor speed to control parcel flow density. The conveyors include a range sensing field of measurement at selected locations. A range sensing device has a virtual encoder and a signal generating and detecting means extending across the surface of the conveyors. Computer means calculates a percentage of desired occupancy of the receiving conveyor and percentage of actual occupancy of the receiving conveyor. A programmable logic controller controls conveyor speed and start-stop movement of the feed conveyor and receiving conveyor based upon signals received from the range sensing detection device to optimally space packages on the feed conveyor or receiving conveyor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of using different sensing and detection methods to determine parcel flow density 1D lineal, 2D area or 3D volumetrically on a selected section of a feed conveyor and receiving conveyor and adjusting conveyor speed ratios proportioned according to ratio of desired density to current density to increase the density or volume of parcels in a selected area of the receiving conveyor.
