    Abstract: Devices and systems are provided for improved article sortation. An example sortation device includes a frame and a sortation table movably attached to the frame. The sortation table defines a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a body extending therebetween. The second end pivotally attaches the sortation table to the frame, and the body defines a first surface configured to support an article thereon. The sortation device performs a tilt operation in which the sortation table rotates about the pivotal attachment between the second end and the frame in a first direction. The sortation device also performs a bomb bay operation in which the sortation table rotates about the pivotal attachment between the second end and the frame in a second direction opposite the first direction. An example sortation system is provided that includes two or more of the example sortation devices.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and systems comprising conveyor roller integrated divert mechanisms are provided. The example conveyor roller integrated divert mechanisms are integrated with a motorized or non-motorized conveyor roller to controllably divert an item at any point along a conveyor line. An example conveyor roller includes a housing forming an at least partially hollow cylindrical tube. The housing includes a plurality of radial gaps. In addition, the conveyor roller includes a divert assembly at least partially disposed within the housing that is operable to divert an item. The divert assembly includes a retractable divert mechanism configured to controllably protrude from the housing through at least one of the plurality of radial gaps.
