Conventionally, loading and unloading pallets occurred in a factory like environment, wherein traditional systems were used for stacking pallets vertically for retrieval thereof. However, these pallets arrive from a roller conveyer and such set-ups are purely based on the concept of storage purpose and lack in palletizing and depalletizing in effective manner. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide pallet loading and unloading apparatus for automated objects manipulation, wherein pallet(s) from a forklift jack arrives on a linear slider assembly for movement of pallet from loading area to manipulating area using two double-sided cylinders associated thereof. Rollers comprised in apparatus provide flexibility to linear slider to slide freely on top. Manipulator performs palletizing and depalletizing as applicable. During depalletizing, empty pallet is slide down using actuator(s) and guided pins and pushed back to bottom rollers which is below a L-channel and is pushed out towards bottom ramp at pallet exit area.

A stacking ring for a chair base may be disposable between a first and second chair base such that the stacking ring generally prevents lateral movement of the first chair base relative to the second chair base. The stacking ring may be integrally formed to the chair base, or separate and disposable between at least two chair bases. The stacking ring may substantially prevent rotation of a first chair base relative to a second chair base.

The invention relates to a method for operating a palletizing plant (5) which comprises a palletizing apparatus (10) for forming a layer stack (100) and at least one driverless transport vehicle (40) for transporting the layer stack (100). In the method, the driverless transport vehicle (40) is moved to a palletizing location (41) close to the palletizing apparatus (10) and a layer stack (100) is formed on the driverless transport vehicle (40). The driverless transport vehicle (40) remains at the palletizing location (41) during the formation of the layer stack (100). The invention also relates to a palletizing plant (5) which is set up to carry out the method according to the invention.

A delivery system generates a pick sheet containing a plurality of SKUs based upon an order. A loaded pallet is imaged to identify the SKUs on the loaded pallet, which are compared to the order prior to the loaded pallet leaving the distribution center. The loaded pallet may be imaged while being wrapped with stretch wrap. At the point of delivery, the loaded pallet may be imaged again and analyzed to compare with the pick sheet.
