Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for automatically packaging one or more articles as a set of items to be shipped is disclosed. The system, apparatus, and method processes packaging material based at least in part on a scan of the set of items to be shipped, and forms cushioning of two matched streams of packaging material, with height of each package automated to size for the set, yielding shipping-ready customized packages. The customized packages are configured to conform to each individual article's size. The packaging material preferably is fully recyclable and is made from paper which is selectively expandable to create a cushioning layer around the set.

Abstract: A wrap floor control system for a wrap floor of a cotton harvester with a cotton module forming chamber includes an actuator that moves the wrap floor and a timer module. A floor engagement module commands the wrap floor actuator to move the wrap floor to an engaged position in response to determining initiation of the wrap cycle and commands the wrap floor actuator to move the wrap floor to a disengaged position in response to the timer module indicating that the timer is equal to or greater than a first threshold value. A belt control module drives a wrap floor belt in response to determining initiation of the wrap cycle.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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).

Abstract: A system and method for enhanced monitoring and sorting of delivery items, such as packages, which are moved and sorted via a delivery service conveyor device. Conventional systems may employ photocells, which detect interrupted light beams, to identify packages or delivery items along a conveyor path. The present system and method enhances photocell function by adding image detection and analysis to the mail path; and further by modifying the photocell signals to the sorter/conveyor control. The present sensing system is located in the same area on the transport as the photocell, and uses a camera to capture an image of the mail path in the photocell area. The system and method then analyze a package image to formulate a more accurate item detection signal, based on photocell data and image data, for input to the sorter/conveyor control system.

Abstract: 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.
