An object processing system is disclosed that includes a plurality of track sections, and a plurality of remotely actuatable carriers for controlled movement along at least portions of the plurality of track sections, wherein each of the remotely controllable carriers is adapted to support and transport an object processing bin.
PIECE PICKING SYSTEM
A piece picking system includes at least one main conveyor unit and a plurality of sorting modules. The at least one main conveyor unit and the plurality of sorting modules are arranged crosswise in a matrix, and the at least one main conveyor unit is located above or below the plurality of sorting modules. A plurality of picking stations are arranged at a side of each main conveyor unit, and are adjacent to each of the sorting modules. The main conveyor unit is configured to convey a first container carrying an item to be picked. The picking station is configured to pick the item in a required quantity from the first container conveyed by the main conveyor unit according to an order requirement. The sorting module is configured to sort the item picked by the adjacent picking station. The system aggregates the sorting capabilities of the plurality of sorting modules.
Device for alignment of packages
A device for aligning packages, in particular in a sorter, with a first connecting element for connection to a package conveyor, and a routing element connected to the first connecting element, wherein the routing element forms a contact face which comes into contact with the packages for alignment, in particular for realignment, of the packages. Here, the contact face is formed at least partially curved.

CROSS BELT SORTING TROLLEY
A cross belt sorting trolley is provided, including an upper conveying unit and a lower frame. A folding plate is horizontally mounted on a side of each side plate. A first bending connecting plate or a second bending connecting plate is vertically connected to the side of each side plate. The folding plate is an integral horizontal plate-like component. A plurality of uniform circular arc-shaped sections are arranged on an outer side edge of the folding plate. The plurality of uniform circular arc-shaped sections of folding plates on both sides of the cross belt sorting trolley engage with each other. A plurality of folding plate fixing plates are mounted on a side portion of each side plate. The plurality of folding plate fixing plates are provided with bending portions. Side portions of the plurality of folding plate fixing plates are fixedly connected to side plates.

ARTICLE SORTING AND CONVEYING APPARATUS AND SORTING-CONVEYING SYSTEM
The present disclosure discloses are an article sorting and conveying apparatus and an article sorting and conveying system. The article sorting and conveying apparatus comprises a conveying assembly, an article carrying assembly, and a driving assembly. The conveying assembly is configured to move circularly; and the article carrying assembly comprises a conveyor belt, the conveyor belt being arranged on the conveying assembly and configured to be driven by the conveying assembly to move in a first direction. The driving assembly comprises a driving source and a driving member, the driving source being in non-contact driving connection with the driving member, the driving member being mounted to the article carrying assembly; and the driving assembly being configured to drive the conveyor belt to move in a second direction.
SELF-CLEARING TRAY CONVEYOR
A magnetic tray for a tray conveyor has a permanent-magnet array producing a magnetic field that interacts with an electromagnetic flux wave produced by a linear-motor stator to propel the tray in a conveying direction. The tray includes a top conveying platform supported on a mover housing the permanent-magnet array and a tray-clearing tool that removes conveyed articles or debris from the platform. The tray-clearing tool is powered by the stator.
MOBILE TRANSPORT CONTAINER FOR A SORTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPENING AND/OR CLOSING A TRANSPORT CONTAINER
A transport container for a sorting device includes a support frame, a flap pivotally arranged on the frame, and an adjusting device which is coupled to the flap, to move the flap between a transport position for transporting an object and a dropping position for dropping the object. The adjusting device has a lever coupled to the flap. In order to be able to open and close the transport container reliably and to prevent the opened flap from swinging afterward, as well as to ensure as synchronous a movement of the flaps as possible in the case of several flaps, a cam plate rotatably mounted on the frame and having at least one guide surface is provided, on which the lever is guided during movement of the flap from the transport position into the dropping position and/or during an entire return movement from the dropping position into the transport position.
MOBILITY AND APPARATUS FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING CARGO
The present disclosure relates to a mobility capable of automating loading and unloading of a cargo without the aid of manpower and an apparatus for loading and unloading a cargo. The mobility includes a cargo hold that accommodates a cargo; and a loading plate positioned to be spaced apart from a bottom of the cargo hold and installed so as to be able to tilt toward any one side of the mobility in the cargo hold.
