Abstract: A system and method designed to transport and package sequenced product. The system includes a first transport system for receiving and transporting, in a closed position, holders each of which contain product. A second transport system transports, in the closed position, the holders until each of the holders are aligned within a respective release position, at which operational stage the second transport system is capable of opening the holders to discharge the product in a sequenced order. A packager receives the discharged product and packages the product in the sequenced order.

Abstract: A system and method for stacking and storing a plurality of trays includes a stacker system and a buffer system. The stacker system includes a component, e.g., a platform, which moves a tray between a raised position and a lowered position. The buffer system includes a plurality of opposing projections for capturing the tray when the component is in the raised position.

Abstract: A system and method designed to collate sequenced product. The system includes a holding bin having a first open end and a second open end. A moveable table is positioned at the first open end of the holding bin. A sheet inserter mechanism is positioned adjacent to the second open end of the holding bin, and includes an inserting mechanism which inducts a sheet of material into the holding bin between product for each discrete delivery destination. In this manner, a collated stack of sequenced product may be formed by the system.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for sorting product. The apparatus comprises at least one unload module and at least two sorters. An intermediate sort conveyor is configured to receive product from the at least one unload module and divert the product to either of the at least two sorters via a plurality of induction units in a transportation path with the at least two sorters.

Abstract: A system and method designed to separate product. The system comprises a dividing mechanism having a first set of directional rollers and a second set of directional rollers, remaining in a single plane. A first conveyor is positioned on a first side of the dividing mechanism and receives products from the first directional mechanism. A second conveyor is positioned on a second side of the dividing mechanism and receives the products from the second directional mechanism.
