A storage, retrieval and processing system for processing objects is disclosed that includes a plurality of bins including objects to be distributed, the plurality of bins being provided on a conveyance system, a programmable motion device that includes an end effector for grasping and moving any of the objects, the programmable motion device being capable of reaching any of the objects within at least one of the plurality of bins in an input area of the conveyance system, a perception system for providing perception data regarding a selected object that is presented to the perception system by the programmable motion device, and a routing conveyance system including a routing conveyor for receiving the selected object, and for moving the selected object in each of vertical and rotational directions toward a destination container responsive to the perception data.

A transfer device includes an extendable transfer platform. The transfer platform includes a fixed plate, a moveable plate, and at least one platform actuator configured to selectively move the moveable plate relative to the fixed plate between a retracted position and an extended position in which a leading edge of the moveable plate is located distally from a leading edge of the fixed plate. The transfer platform also includes a transfer belt having a first end secured to a first driven roller, and a second end secured to a second driven roller. The transfer device also includes a platform support structure secured to the transfer platform for supporting the transfer platform above a floor surface. The platform support structure includes at least one support actuator configured to selectively move the transfer platform relative to the floor surface between a lowered position and a raised position.

A slipform paver includes a machine frame, at least three travelling devices connected to the machine frame, and at least one belt conveyor device pivotable relative to the machine frame about an essentially horizontal axis and about an essentially vertical axis. The belt conveyor device includes a first end and a second end, a belt conveyor base and a belt conveyor arranged on said belt conveyor base, wherein the belt conveyor revolves around a first return roller and a second return roller. A first actuator is configured such that the belt conveyor device is pivotable about the essentially horizontal axis. A second actuator is configured such that the belt conveyor device is pivotable about the essentially vertical axis. An adjustment device is configured such that the first and second ends of the belt conveyor device are adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the belt conveyor device.

A portable telescopic conveyor apparatus includes a mounting frame for securing the conveyor to a mobile platform, a boom frame housing a plurality of extendable conveyor sections, and a pair of opposed outriggers for stabilizing the conveyor apparatus when in use.

A seed tender includes a supplying container configured to hold seed and a conveyor configured to transfer the seed to a receiving container. The seed tender includes first and second actuators configured to selectively control the movement of the conveyor. The seed tender includes a sensor system configured to detect at least one of an object in a path of movement of the conveyor, a position of the conveyor, or an orientation of the conveyor. The seed tender includes an electronic control unit configured to receive a signal from the sensor system and to selectively energize and de-energize the first and second actuators based at least in part on the signal from the sensor system. The controlled movement of the conveyor is at least partially based on at least one of the detected object, the detected position of the conveyor, or the detected orientation of the conveyor.

A conveyor boom assembly includes a main boom section and a distal boom section that is coupled to the distal end of the main boom section. Both the main boom section and distal boom sections have conveyor belts to move material along the respective boom section. The distal boom section is moveable in a direction to extend forward of the main boom section, and it can also be moved to retract under the main boom section. Further, the conveyor belt of the distal boom section can be selectively driven in either direction, forward or reverse.

Devices and systems are provided for improved article sortation. An example sortation device includes a height adjustable frame and a sortation table movably attached to the height adjustable frame. The sortation table defines a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a body extending therebetween. The body defines a first surface that supports an article thereon where a location of the body between the first end and the second end pivotally attaches the sortation table with the height adjustable frame. The sortation device performs a tilt operation in which the sortation table rotates about the pivotal attachment between the second end and the height adjustable frame so as to convey the article supported by the sortation table. The height adjustable frame adjusts a vertical position of the sortation table so as to modify a vertical position at which the article is conveyed.
