Today's funeral practices are unsustainable, toxic, and polluting. Both cremation and the manufacture and transport of caskets, grave liners, and headstones emit greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. In fact, the very last thing that most of us will do on this earth is poison it. As a response, a system and method called recomposition that gently and naturally returns humans to the earth after death.

A material handling system for handling, placing packages onto pallets destined for an order store, the material handling system comprising, a storage array with storage spaces for holding packages therein, an automated package transport system communicably connected to the storage array for storing packages within the storage spaces of the storage array and retrieving packages from the storage spaces of the storage array, an automated palletizer for placing mixed packages onto a pallet to form a pallet load of mixed packages, the automated palletizer is communicably connected to the automated package transport system which provides individual packages from the storage array to the automated palletizer for forming the pallet load of mixed packages, the pallet load of mixed packages including more than one composite layers of mixed packages, a controller operably connected to the automated palletizer, the controller being programmed with a pallet load generator with an initial pallet load.

The method for optimising the cutting of elongated products, in particular bars or profiles for reinforced concrete, comprises the steps of arranging in succession along a longitudinal feed direction (Y) a feeding area (5), a cutting assembly (3) and a measuring path (4) for the products (2), the measuring path (4) being configured to receive on a respective receiving plane (4a) the products (2a) cut by the cutting assembly (3). The method also provides for arranging a storage (6) divided into a plurality of compartments (7) downstream of the measuring path (4), for receiving the cut products (2a).

Described herein are exemplary systems and methods for the optimization of shipping cartons relative to the contents of orders to be placed therein. An exemplary carton optimization method evaluates a sample size of orders received at a given location and then determines an optimal carton set that includes at least one feasible carton for each order, while also minimizing shipping costs based on dimensional weighing-based pricing by reducing the dimensional weight, thereby minimizing void space and increasing the carton space utilization percentage. An exemplary carton optimization method may be further customized to optimize a carton set for an order, based on the cartons already available at a given warehouse or other site. As a result, cartons are utilized and designed more efficiently at the site.

A storage device configured to store at least one press-formed product is provided. The storage device includes at least one arrangement portion and a placement portion. The arrangement portion is a seating including a first groove and a second groove. The first groove and the second groove are formed to intersect with each other in an X shape in plan view. The placement portion includes at least one first plate including at least one first slit and at least one second plate including at least one second slit. The first slit and the second slit cause the first plate and the second plate to be engaged with each other. The first plate and the second plate stand on the arrangement portion in a state in which the first plate is fitted in the first groove and the second plate is fitted in the second groove.
