An inventory management loadout system is a system that expedites the delivery of products in a warehouse or distribution center by simplifying the loading process. The system may include a support platform, a support wheel, a wheel frame, a plurality of tubular shelves, an inbound conveyor system, and an outbound conveyor system. The support platform supports the operation of the system. The support wheel enables the temporary storing of the products so that the products are ready to be loaded onto the corresponding truck. The wheel frame supports the load from the support wheel and enables the rotation of the support wheel. The plurality of tubular shelves facilitates the vertical storage of the products to prevent bottlenecking. The inbound conveyor system enables the loading of the products to the plurality of tubular shelves. The outbound conveyor system facilitates the unloading of the products from the plurality of tubular shelves.

A workstation is disclosed for transferring objects between containers such as product and order totes in an order fulfillment system. The workstation may include an object pick system, for example including a measuring array or a machine vision system, which directs and monitors the transfer of objects between the containers.

The present invention relates to a gravity-box-based snack vending apparatus including a storage container for storing snacks and a delivery module. A bottom of the storage container is in communication with a material outlet of the delivery module. The delivery module includes a discharging apparatus housing and a transmission apparatus. The transmission apparatus includes a driving gear driven by an external force, a driven gear engaged with the driving gear, and a rotating wheel structure coaxially rotating with the driven gear. The rotating wheel structure includes a rotating shaft and blades mounted on the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft and the blades are provided across a material outlet. Granular materials fall on the blades, and two front and rear blades in a static state just block the material outlet.
