Abstract: A feeder device for feeding mailpieces to a postal sorting conveyor has an unstacker head designed to put the mailpieces in series and on edge on the sorting conveyor, an unstacker plate designed to unstack the mailpieces one-by-one towards the unstacker head, and a mailpiece feed conveyor designed to convey the mailpieces in a stack and on edge against the unstacker plate. The unstacker plate has a stationary portion that extends from the unstacker head, and a moving portion that extends the stationary portion, said moving portion being mounted to pivot from the stationary portion between a first position in which the stationary portion and the moving portion are aligned with each other, and a second position in which the stationary portion and the moving portion are angularly offset relative to each other.

Abstract: An equipment for automatically feeding parcels to a sorting conveyor, the equipment having a platform for temporarily storing a pile of parcels arranged loosely, a first vision system designed to form a digital image of the loose pile of parcels while the pile is stationary on the platform, a processor unit having setting data for responding to the digital image by identifying a parcel for singulating that presents a grip face that is not covered by another parcel, and by supplying indicative data about the three-dimensional position, the orientation in three dimensions, and the dimensions of the grip face, and a pneumatic gripper head of a robotic arm that is controlled on the basis of the data so as to take hold of the parcel for singulating by its grip face.
