An object induction system is disclosed for assigning handling parameters to an object. The system includes an analysis system, an association system, and an assignment system. The analysis system includes at least one characteristic perception system for providing perception data regarding an object to be processed. The association system includes an object information database and assigns association data to the object responsive to commonality with of any of the characteristic perception data with any of the characteristic recorded data. The assignment system is for assigning programmable motion device handling parameters to the indicia perception data based on the association data, and includes a workflow management system as well as a separate operational controller.
AUTOMATED HANDLING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Provided are systems and method for automated handling of one or more objects.
Method of manufacturing parts having a dimensional requirement akin to a tolerance stack-up
The invention pertains to a method of manufacturing parts, where each part must satisfy a global dimensional requirement on a specific dimension of said part akin to a tolerance stack up comprising at least two tolerances, each tolerance corresponding to a characteristic dimension of the part, where: the global dimensional requirement is fixed so that the specific dimension of the parts has a mean .sub.0 and a standard deviation oG lying in a global acceptance range constructed on the basis of one or more statistical criteria; a reference dimension is chosen from among the characteristic dimensions, and a mean and a standard deviation oref of said reference dimension are calculated on the basis of a sample of collected parts; a range of acceptance for the other characteristic dimensions of the tolerance stack up constructed with the same statistical criterion or criteria as the global acceptance range is calculated on the basis of the global acceptance range and on the basis of the mean ITO and the standard deviation oref calculated for the reference dimension; the manufacture of parts is steered without verification of the reference dimension by using the acceptance range calculated for the other characteristic dimensions of the tolerance stack up by fitting the adjustment parameters of a manufacturing device so that each of the other characteristic dimensions of the tolerance stack up lie in the corresponding calculated acceptance range.
METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PARTS HAVING A DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENT AKIN TO A TOLERANCE STACK-UP
The invention pertains to a method of manufacturing parts, where each part must satisfy a global dimensional requirement on a specific dimension of said part akin to a tolerance stack up comprising at least two tolerances, each tolerance corresponding to a characteristic dimension of the part, where: the global dimensional requirement is fixed so that the specific dimension of the parts has a mean 0 and a standard deviation oG lying in a global acceptance range constructed on the basis of one or more statistical criteria; a reference dimension is chosen from among the characteristic dimensions, and a mean and a standard deviation oref of said reference dimension are calculated on the basis of a sample of collected parts; a range of acceptance for the other characteristic dimensions of the tolerance stack up constructed with the same statistical criterion or criteria as the global acceptance range is calculated on the basis of the global acceptance range and on the basis of the mean and the standard deviation oref calculated for the reference dimension; the manufacture of parts is steered without verification of the reference dimension by using the acceptance range calculated for the other characteristic dimensions of the tolerance stack up by fitting the adjustment parameters of a manufacturing device so that each of the other characteristic dimensions of the tolerance stack up lie in the corresponding calculated acceptance range.

METHOD FOR HANDLING GOODS, AND HANDLING SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR ORDER-PICKING SYSTEM
Method for handling goods and handling system for order-picking goods with an order-picking system, wherein goods are removed from a storage facility and positioned on a target load carrier. The goods are moved from the storage facility onto the target load carrier using a robot and/or a conveying system. Properties of the goods, in particular strength, rigidity, weight, surface composition, and/or center of gravity, are captured and, based on data regarding errors during movements of the goods. During operation of the handling system, boundary conditions up to which a functioning of the robot and/or of the conveying system depending on properties of the goods is ensured are determined, after which operation of the handling system is adapted depending on captured properties of the goods, namely through the adaptation of forces and/or accelerations that are applied to the goods by the robot and/or the conveying system.
