Abstract: The vision aided case/bulk palletizer system of this invention is a process and apparatus for: providing a camera positioned over the dunnage supply line; initiating a frame grab of the dunnage supply line with the camera; using the frame grab to determine the position of the dunnage; using the frame grab to position the programmable robot over the dunnage; feeding the dunnage from the dunnage supply line to the load building area; and controlling the steps with the single programmable robot, microprocessor and software. This system provides for transfer of the dunnage when the position of the dunnage is skewed by using the frame grab to position the programmable robot over the skewed dunnage. In another embodiment, the camera is used to determine any void in the tier of product during the build of a tier of product, and also provides for error-proofing the transfer of dunnage.

Abstract: This device is for the formation and transfer of rows of articles. In particular, the device is for the formation of a row of articles on a layer formation table and the transfer of the row from one processing operation to another. A programmable robot and EOAT easily sweeps or pushes the load (tier) down the layer formation table returns to it's original position. A single, programmable robot performs all functions. The absolute unique end of arm tooling (EOAT) is fitted to the robot. The articles of one row are nested in the voids between articles in an adjacent row.
