Abstract: Disclosed herein is a dimensioner table (DT) that is highly transportable and can be removably or permanently affixed to a mobile platform (MP). This allows freight to be scanned at the time of pickup or each time it is unloaded/loaded onto a new MP. The dimensioning information collected from the DT can be used to create a 3D model of the freight which can be used to help provide loading instructions. The successive scans of the freight by each DT can also be used to identify any discrepancies in the 3D models or captured images which may indicate damage or partial loss of freight.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an automated conveyance robot (ACR) for conveying movable platforms (MPs) in and out of trailers. A lift carriage at a first end of the ACR is configured to couple to the MP during movement and disengage after movement. A counterweight system at a second end of the ACR counterbalances the ACR during conveyance. The ACR comprises a front drive assembly and a rear drive assembly which are independently steerable to allow for different steering methods. The ACR can function fully automated or can be controlled.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an adjustable shoring beam in which the ends can adjusted to different heights along one or more securement tracks on a vertical post. The adjustable shoring beam engages the securement tracks on the vertical posts and each end is independently adjustable in one degree of freedom. Modular deck tracks on the vertical posts, adjacent to the securement tracks, allow for the engagement of a modular deck with a vertical post. The modular deck and securement beam are able to be moved independently past each other on the vertical posts by a user or an autonomous machine.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an adjustable shoring beam having a hook assembly configured to mate with E-track mating features. The adjustable shoring beam can be adjusted over a predetermined length range by adjusting the tube assembly and the rod assembly. In some embodiments, the extension length is fixed using a fixing clamp coupled to the tube assembly and the rod assembly. A connecting clamp and bracket may be used to couple a first adjustable shoring beam to a second adjustable shoring beam.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cross-dock management system comprises: a plurality of movable platforms configured to hold one or more pallets or parcels; at least one barcode or RFID tag positioned on each of said movable platforms, pallets, or parcels, wherein the barcode readers are configured to read the barcodes and RFID readers are configured to read the RFID tags. The data scanned by the barcode readers and RFID readers is stored in a local warehouse database and is used to determine an optimized placement and load for each movable platform in the warehouse.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a movable platform (MP) for moving freight during cross-dock operations. The MP comprises a mechanical actuation assembly used to deploy a plurality of roller assemblies used for moving the MP. Also disclosed is an actuating attachment used to deploy the mechanical actuation assembly of the MP. The actuating attachment can be attached to a conveyance vehicle, such as a forklift, or built in to an automated guided vehicle.
