摘要： An apparatus includes a product metering device, first and second container preparation systems, and a controller. The product metering device is configured to dispense a product. The first and second container preparation systems are configured to dispense first and second containers, respectively, for receiving the product from the product metering device. The first and second container preparation systems include first and second severed container material transporting devices, respectively, operable to transport the first and second containers, respectively, from the first and second container preparation systems, respectively, to the product metering device. The controller simultaneously controls (i) one of the first container preparation system and the second container preparation system to prepare one of the first container and the second container, and (ii) the product metering device to dispense the product into the other of the first container and the second container.

摘要： The method for packaging objects for shipping, which may be configured as a single all-in-one device, is carried out by scanning or selecting an item to be packaged from a catalogue and then using that information to generate a custom shipping enclosure using additive manufacturing techniques. Additive manufacturing techniques to create these custom shipping packages may include 3D printing, extrusion and sintering based processes as well as other techniques obvious to those skilled in the art. This method has an additional benefit of allowing greater quantities of items to fit on pallets, in shipping containers, and even in warehouses and on retail shelves.

摘要： A control device, comprising a processor and a memory that contains computer readable instructions. When executed by the processor, the computer readable instructions cause the processor to receive a first user input corresponding to first parameters for forming a first unit of packaging material, add first instructions corresponding to the first unit to a queue for a packaging device, receive a second user input corresponding to second parameters for forming a second unit of packaging material, add second instructions corresponding to the second unit to the queue, and transmit the queue to the packaging device to cause the packaging device to create the first and second units of packaging material according to the first and second parameters.

摘要： A packaging machine is described, which is equipped with sensors, actuators and drive systems, comprising a servo motor, a central control unit and a system for data transmission. The actual values of the sensors, actuators and drive systems are recorded in digital form in each case and transferred with the use of a transmission protocol via the data transmission system to the central control unit, evaluated by the latter and the determined setpoint values or control commands are also transmitted, in digital form and with the use of the transmission protocol, from the control system via the data transmission system to the actuators or drives According to the invention, it is provided that the data transmission between sensors, actuators, drives and central control unit and vice versa takes place wirelessly and the transmission protocol operates cyclically and with short cycle times, preferably in millisecond pulses. According to the proposal, the transmission protocol serves for synchronization of all sensors, actuators and drives, prepares the actual values and the determined setpoint data of all drives in each cycle, the accuracy of the synchronization and the preparation lying in the microsecond range. The transmission protocol keeps essential information redundant and eliminates errors in the data transmission by means of error correction processes, for example the HDLC process.
