    摘要: Systems and methods for packing a shipping container. The methods comprise: detecting, by a computing device, a presence of the shipping container; generating, by a computing device, a 3D point cloud comprising a 3D perspective representation of interior of the shipping container and surfaces of at least one item disposed in the shipping container; analyzing, by a computing device, the 3D point cloud to identify a void area inside the shipping container, the void area being absent of the at least one item; selecting, by the computing device, a percentage from a plurality of possible percentages based on a characteristic of the void area; and causing, by the computing device, protective packaging to be dispensed into the void area such that the selected percentage of the void area is filled with the protective packaging.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for operating a tubular-bag machine (01) having a film web (03) unwindable from a supply roll (02), a forming shoulder (04) for forming the film web (03) to a film tube (05), a film take-off unit (07) acting against the film tube (05) and serving to keep the film tube (05) moving, a longitudinal-sealing apparatus for sealing the film tube (05) along a longitudinal seam, a transverse-sealing apparatus (08) having transverse jaws (09) which move towards each other, transversally seal the film tube (05) and serve to produce transverse seams, a separator (11) for separating completed tubular bags (10) from the film tube (05), a metering module (13) for metering the filling material (12) being disposed upstream of the tubular-bag machine (01) and/or a processing module (14) for further processing the tubular bag being disposed downstream of the tubular-bag machine (01), and error messages of the tubular-bag machine (01) and/or the metering module (13) and/or the processing module (14) being able to be processed in the control (15) of the tubular-bag machine (01). The processing speed of the tubular-bag machine (01) is changed as a function of the error messages of the tubular-bag machine (01) and/or of the metering module (13) and/or of the processing module (14) received in the control (15) of the tubular-bag machine (01).

    摘要: A device and a method for separately-loading objects into packages. The device includes a separating assembly adapted to separate the objects fetched from a hopper. The device also includes a first conveyor adapted to receive and transport the objects separated by the separating assembly, and a detecting assembly adapted to obtain detected data about the objects transported on the first conveyor. The device includes a controller adapted to determine tangling information indicating whether the objects are tangled together and to determine target objects to be loaded into the packages at least based on the tangling information. The device can also include a loading assembly adapted to load the target objects to the packages.

    摘要: There are provided systems and methods relating to assembling unpacked merchandise in containers. In one form, the system includes an order of merchandise items to be assembled in containers, and a predetermined set of containers defining different sizes and including at least two different types of containers. The system also includes a control circuit configured to: receive notification of the order, select a first type of container, determine a first subset of the plurality of merchandise items to be received in the selected type of container, select a size of the selected type of container to receive the first subset of merchandise items, and instruct the disposition of the first subset of merchandise items within the selected type and size of container.

    摘要: A pallet wrapper and imaging system a pallet loaded with containers to calculate a sustainability based upon a type of the pallet and the containers on the pallet. The system also determines the stability of the pallet and containers, a speed at which the pallet and containers can be wrapped, and an amount of stretch film needed to secure the load for transport. After validation by the imaging system (with or without a wrapper), a QC bot assists a QC worker in remedying or checking any detected errors or potential errors.
