  • Patent number: 11919325
    Abstract: An enclosing-sealing apparatus includes a flap opener that opens a flap of an envelope while the envelope is conveyed to an enclosing position. A first envelope detector is disposed upstream from the flap opener in an envelope conveyance direction and detects both ends of the envelope in the envelope conveyance direction. A second envelope detector is disposed downstream from the flap opener in the envelope conveyance direction and detects both ends of the envelope in the envelope conveyance direction in an open state in which the flap opens. A controller determines the open state of the flap based on a first detection result sent from the first envelope detector and a second detection result sent from the second envelope detector. The controller performs troubleshooting for enclosing the enclosure into the envelope if the controller determines that the open state of the flap is faulty.

  • Publication number: 20240025657
    Abstract: An article transport facility includes a transport vehicle and a segment controller. When the transport vehicle is to travel on a first route section, the transport vehicle requests first passage permission, which is passage permission to travel past a first passage location, from the segment controller. When the transport vehicle is to travel on a second route section, the transport vehicle requests second passage permission, which is passage permission to travel past a second passage location, from the segment controller. In response to the request for both the first passage permission and the second passage permission, the segment controller, if the first passage location and the second passage location are both unoccupied by preceding transport vehicles, permits the transport vehicle to travel from the first route section or second route section into a connecting route section and to occupy both the first passage location and the second passage location.
