A system for transferring loads from a mobile robot device. The system includes a transportable conveyor platform. The mobile robot device transports the transportable conveyor platform to/from a lift mechanism. The lift mechanism lifts the transportable conveyor platform and any load thereon from the mobile robot device and to a desired height for unloading the load.

A method for automatically calibrating a rocker-type sensor module having a position or acceleration sensor involves measuring a position of the sensor module as an angle relative to a fixed spatial direction, and outputting an output signal that depends on whether the measured angle is less than or greater than a switching angle. The output signal is set to a first output value if the measured angle exceeds the switching angle. The switching angle is set to a value corresponding to the measured angle minus an “off” free pivot angle, as long as the value of the measured angle continues to increase. The output signal is set to a second output value if the measured angle falls below the switching angle. The switching angle is set to a value corresponding to the measured angle plus an “on” free pivot angle, as long as the value of the measured angle continues to fall.

A block storage system with a block storage element, which includes a carrier frame and a load-bearing element, and a vehicle and a method for operating the block storage system. The method includes, via the vehicle, at least one of detaching the load-bearing element from the carrier frame or engaging the load-hearing element with the carrier frame.

A device, system, and method for detecting a covering sleeve on a container. A sleeve detection system includes a conveyor, a height profile acquisition device, and a processor in communication with the height profile acquisition device. The height profile acquisition device is configured to acquire height profiles of a tray traveling on the conveyor. The processor is configured to analyze height profiles received from the height profile acquisition device to determine a sleeve status of the tray. In some embodiments, a light gate is disposed across the conveyor and configured to detect the presence of a tray on the conveyor approaching the height profile acquisition device.

Some embodiments provide vehicle systems comprising: a housing; a wheel system comprising at least one axle extending between at least two wheels positioned on opposite sides of the housing and supporting the housing; a mobile product distribution system comprising: a product movement system maintained within the housing; and multiple bay doors formed in the housing and with which inbound vehicles and outbound vehicles align while products are distributed from each of the inbound vehicles to at least one of the outbound vehicles; wherein the product movement system extends between the multiple bay doors and is configured transport the products from each of the inbound vehicles, through the housing and to at least one of the outbound vehicles.

A path forming device for forming a part of a series of article conveying passage and opening a path for passing through when a worker crosses the article conveying passage, the path forming device including: a fixed side conveyor device located at a constant height position; a movable side conveyor device; a lifting and lowering function that lifts and lowers the movable side conveyor device; and a linear movement function that linearly moves the movable side conveyor device, wherein the movable side conveyor device is capable of taking: an article conveying posture in which the movable side conveyor device protrudes from the fixed side conveyor device in a cantilever state, and is linearly aligned with the fixed side conveyor at substantially the same height as the fixed side conveyor; and a path opening posture in which a height of the movable side conveyor device is lowered by the lifting and lowering function, the movable side conveyor device is made to move to the fixed side conveyor device by the linear movement function, the movable side conveyor device is located under the fixed side conveyor device, and a part of or all of the movable side conveyor device overlaps with the fixed side conveyor device on the same plane.

A rolling device, a package for rolling device and a rolling module are introduced. The rolling device includes a receiving seat defining a receiving recess, at least one secondary rolling member received in the receiving recess to contact with a surface of the receiving recess, a primary rolling member partially received in the receiving recess to contact with a surface of the at least one secondary rolling member, a coupling section connected to the receiving seat for coupling to an external object, and a stop section connected to the receiving seat and defining a stop opening, which has a size smaller than a maximum size of the primary rolling member.

A crematory lift has a frame with a vertically extending member with a carriage with tines mounted for vertical displacement. A support bed is pivotably mounted to the carriage tines and has a ball segment on its rearward end with rotatable balls permitting sideward positioning of a decedent thereon and a roller segment on the forward end which permits the forward displacement of the decedent. A hydraulic actuator extends between the carriage and the support bed rear where it is remote from the oven's heat and operates to raise and incline the support bed to discharge the decedent into the oven. The support bed has four forward strap mounts with U-shaped slots with strap support tabs which receive straps for lifting of a decedent positioned below the support bed.
