Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems comprising reconfigurable motorized conveyor rollers are provided. The example reconfigurable motorized conveyor roller includes a housing with a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The housing includes a plurality of curved plates that at least partially form a cylindrical tube. The reconfigurable motorized conveyor roller includes a motor assembly and a drive assembly at least partially disposed within the housing that are configured to cause rotation of at least a portion of the reconfigurable motorized conveyor roller. And, the reconfigurable motorized conveyor roller includes a housing adjustment assembly disposed within the housing that is operable to modify one or more dimensions of the housing.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and systems comprising element in-built diverts for motorized conveyor rollers are provided. An example conveyor roller can include a housing that forms a cylindrical tube. The conveyor roller includes a plurality of element in-built diverts disposed on an exterior surface of the housing. The plurality of element in-built diverts are reconfigurable between one or more orientations with respect to the housing to divert an item an angle with respect to the housing.

Abstract: Devices and systems are provided for improved article sortation. An example sortation device includes a frame and a sortation table movably attached to the frame. The sortation table defines a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a body extending therebetween. The second end pivotally attaches the sortation table to the frame, and the body defines a first surface configured to support an article thereon. The sortation device performs a tilt operation in which the sortation table rotates about the pivotal attachment between the second end and the frame in a first direction. The sortation device also performs a bomb bay operation in which the sortation table rotates about the pivotal attachment between the second end and the frame in a second direction opposite the first direction. An example sortation system is provided that includes two or more of the example sortation devices.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and systems comprising conveyor roller integrated divert mechanisms are provided. The example conveyor roller integrated divert mechanisms are integrated with a motorized or non-motorized conveyor roller to controllably divert an item at any point along a conveyor line. An example conveyor roller includes a housing forming an at least partially hollow cylindrical tube. The housing includes a plurality of radial gaps. In addition, the conveyor roller includes a divert assembly at least partially disposed within the housing that is operable to divert an item. The divert assembly includes a retractable divert mechanism configured to controllably protrude from the housing through at least one of the plurality of radial gaps.
