Abstract: A system may capture image data of one or more items at a scanning area using one or more cameras. The system may determine one or more thresholds for the image data using one or more first dimensions of a set of items and may filter the image data using the one or more thresholds. The system may estimate one or more second dimensions of the one or more items based on the filtered image data, and the system may identify a first item from among the one or more items by comparing the estimated one or more second dimensions of the one or more items with the one or more first dimensions of the set of items.

Abstract: A system may include a plurality of consolidation stations and a carousel moving the plurality of consolidation stations past a picking location, one or more consolidation stations of the plurality of consolidation stations receiving one or more items at the picking location. The system may include a first transportation mechanism adapted to bring one or more cartons to the picking location at the carousel. The system may include a robotic arm articulating to move the one or more items from one or more mobile storage units into the one or more consolidation stations at the picking location. The system may include a transfer mechanism adapted to transfer items from the one or more consolidation stations into the one or more cartons.

Abstract: A box former may include a carton blank dispensing device that holds a carton blank and carton moving devices that move the carton blank from the carton blank dispensing device and positions it between a plunger and a forming well. The forming well may include a floor, one or more walls, and an opening. The plunger may be configured to move between a retracted position and one or more extended positions, the plunger contacting a top surface of the carton blank and pushing the carton blank into the forming well through the opening of the forming well. In some implementations, the box former may include forming guides that contact points on a bottom surface of the carton blank when it is pushed by the plunger to cause the carton blank to fold into a formed carton.
