Abstract: A method for activating a wake-up module of an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) when the AGV is operating in a standby state, determining whether a global wake-up command was broadcasted by a fleet management system, and activating an on-state associated with the AGV in response to determining that the global wake-up command was broadcasted by the fleet management system.

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for trimming scrap material, such as a dome or moil, from a plastic container or other object, which is typically formed with the neck of the container during molding. The apparatus comprises a pair of power driven endless belts, each having an inner reach with the inner reaches of the belts being spaced apart from one another so as to grip a portion of the container (typically the scrap dome or moil to be trimmed) therebetween and so as to move the container along a path. The belts are driven so that the inner reaches of each of the belts move in the same direction so that a container gripped between the belt reaches is conveyed along the work path. One of the belts is driven at a surface speed faster than the surface speed of the other belt so as to rotate the container gripped by the belt reaches about a vertical axis.
