The invention relates to the field of public utilities, namely to the collection, sorting, transportation and disposal of municipal solid waste. The system of collection, sorting and recycling of municipal waste, allowing them to implement separate collection, contains the means of transport, some collection points and waste sorting (WCSP) in the territory served by the district, processing plant wastes (WPP) in the same area, and WCSP is a indoor closed on the perimeter of the building module is equipped with an extraction window with a counter, a work table for manual sorting of waste, a cargo truck with a set of containers and bulky waste, household premises; The WPP is equipped with a fleet of crushing, pressing and other equipment for waste processing; household premises, cargo trucks and a tractor, made with the ability to move trucks between the WCSP and the WPP.

A method for assisting a user with sorting workpieces disposed on a sorting table uses a positioning system for determining a spatial position of a user's hand. The position can be determined by a sorting assistance unit worn near a hand of the user and the position of which is detected by the positioning system, or by image-based positioning using one or more cameras. The method comprises providing a position data set that includes the positions of the workpieces produced of the machining plan on the sorting table; by the positioning system, detecting a position of the user's hand and comparing it with the positions of the position data set; identifying at least one workpiece that is paired with the position of the user's hand; and outputting a sorting signal which comprises information about the at least one workpiece paired with the position of the user's hand.

Provided are systems and methods for associating an asset with a sort location, the system comprising a conveyor belt assembly and a user device configured to be worn by a user. The conveyor belt assembly comprises: an acquisition device and a plurality of stripes defining a non-repeating pattern, the plurality of stripes comprising a plurality of unique sets of stripes. The acquisition device is configured to capture image data comprising asset identifier data and conveyor mechanism data, the conveyor mechanism data including one of the plurality of unique sets of stripes. The user device is configured to capture conveyor mechanism data including one of the plurality of unique sets of stripes; remotely receive asset identifier data associated with the user device captured conveyor mechanism data; and generate and display to the user, relative to the asset, at least one visual indicator of one or more sort instructions for the asset.

A parcel sorting system and method. A process performed by a parcel sorting system includes receiving sorting information of a first parcel. The process includes determining a sorting destination corresponding to the sorting information. The process includes determining a sorting instruction corresponding to the sorting destination and the first parcel. The process includes transporting the first parcel on a conveying surface. The process includes, while transporting the parcel on the conveying surface, displaying the corresponding sorting instruction on a scrolling marquee display at a location proximate to the first parcel. The process includes, when it is detected that the first parcel has been removed from the conveying surface, the ceasing displaying the corresponding sorting instruction.

A marking system comprises a set of markings which distinguish themselves by different brightness grades. In this system, different brightness grades are also expressed by different colors (30), based on the different brightness impression of the colors to the bare eye and an additional convention where such an order is not clearly apparent. By combining different colors (30) and different brightness levels (35) within colors, the required number of grades can be obtained. The markings are advantageous in particular for manual sortation since they are recognizable without positioning the marking in a particular orientation, e.g. the reading direction of the sortation employees. Preferred applications of the markings are in the delivery of postal items, in particular parcels.

There is provided an instruction projecting device which generates a projection image to be projected on a parcel based on sensing information of the parcel and parcel identification information specifying the parcel in an image, the device including: a processor; and a memory, in which by cooperating with the memory, the processor determines a direction to pick up the parcel based on the parcel identification information, and generates the projection image indicating the pick-up direction.

A sorting system determines the aptitude of the result of learning obtained by learning sorting data indicative of the result of sorting of an object to be sorted corresponding to measurement data on a state of the object to be sorted. If the aptitude is compatible with a previously specified criterion, the operation of the system is switched so as to perform automatic sorting of the object to be sorted. If the aptitude is not compatible with the previously specified criterion, the operation of the system is switched so as not to perform the automatic sorting of the object to be sorted.

Computer-implemented systems and methods for optimizing sorting and loading of packages are disclosed. An exemplary system includes a memory storing instructions and may include at least one processor configured to execute the instructions. The system may perform operations including receiving data comprising a plurality of package identifiers associated with a plurality of packages. The operations may include determining a plurality of block areas associated with delivery locations for the plurality of packages. The operations may further include determining a delivery route by determining a first set of routes, determining optimal combinations of the inputs for each set of routes and determining a shortest route associated with the optimal combinations. The operations may include determining an order in which to load each of the packages into a delivery vehicle. The operations may further include generating instructions for causing a device to display a visual representation of the loading order.

Computerized system, method, and processor-executable code, as may be executed by an artificial intelligence-based system, for carrying out an autonomous process are provided. Disclosed embodiments may be used to autonomously screen in real-time mailable or shippable items being conveyed through an item processing system to identify item candidates for content inspection and/or testing to check for prohibited and/or restricted content (e.g., contraband) prior to item sortation and distribution for delivery to recipients. Disclosed embodiments make effective use of algorithms involving machine vision, machine learning, and data-intensive and/or sensor-driven tasks.

There is provided a projection instruction device that generates a projection image to be projected on a parcel based on parcel identification information specifying the parcel, the device including: a processor; and a memory, in which by cooperating with the memory, the processor specifies a person in charge of processing the parcel or a destination of the parcel based on the parcel identification information to generate a person in charge instruction projection image indicating at least one of the person in charge or the destination of the parcel.
