Abstract: Systems, devices, methods and computer program products for extendable conveyors are provided. A system includes an extendable conveyor and a separation module. The extendable conveyor is operable to convey items from an upstream side of the extendable conveyor to a downstream side of the extendable conveyor. Further, it is configured to increase the distance from the upstream side to the downstream side. The separation module is operable for conveying items towards the extendable conveyor and configured to decelerate the conveying of the items on the separation module.
Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for labeling an item in a conveyor line are disclosed. An example labeling station comprises a labeling member with a label holder configured to hold a label to be affixed to the item. The labeling member is configured to move at least the label holder at a matching speed of the conveyor in a matching direction and to affix the label to the item. An example labeling method includes obtaining a multi-dimensional representation of the item, determining a label target position in the representation, and controlling a labeling station to affix the label at the label target position on the item.

Abstract: The conveyor (1) includes a telescoping conveyor (2) with a boxlike basic body (9), above which a separating conveyor (3) and a weighing device (4) are located, thereby saving space which would be necessary if the separating conveyor (3) and the weighing device (4) were set up separately.
Abstract: A Telescopic conveyor comprises a fixed housing which is open at one end through which a number, as for instance two, three or more, lengthy and belt carrying units arranged above each other are extendably and retractably and slidably mounted within the housing to be slit out from the housing, whereby the lower slidable units at the outer end comprise supporting means for carrying the slidable units positioned above and whereby each of the slidable units comprise at least two belt rollers or drums of which one is positioned foremost at each of the units and whereby furthermore a telescopic drive unit is contained within the conveyor comprising one or more drive belts or drive chains with the ends of each drive belt or drive chain being connected in one end to the fixed and in the other end to the uppermost slidable unit so that at least one of the drive belts or the drive chains are driven by a drive roller or drum respectively by a sprocket.
