Abstract: A sorting system including a plurality of sorter light boxes, a hub, and a controller. The plurality of sorter light boxes may each be configured to be mounted to a respective shelf, and may each configured to be coupled to another one of the sorter light boxes to create a chain of sorter light boxes. The hub may be configured to be coupled to a first sorter light box in the chain of sorter light boxes. The hub may also be configured to operate as a concentrator of control signals and power for the sorter light boxes. The controller may be configured to be coupled to the hub and may be configured generate control signals for the sorter light boxes.

Abstract: The package dimensioning device is configured for ascertaining measurements of cuboidal and boxed items to provide data to computer-implemented package management processes. The device has a base and a vertical support member. The base is configured to receive a package thereon and includes a weight sensor. There are multiple space-apart contactless sensors including a top sensor carried by the vertical support member, and side sensors positioned adjacent sides of the base which output dimensional data signals related to a height, length and width of the package. A control unit is communicatively coupled to the weight sensor and multiple spaced apart sensors and configured to calculate weight, height, length and width measurements of the package based upon the weight data signal and dimensional data signals.
