  • Publication number: 20230031377
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may receive, from a camera, an image that depicts an object on a conveyor. The system may cause, based on an image processing model indicating that the image depicts the object, a robotic arm to attach to a label printer. The system may determine, using the image processing model, an object position of the object on the conveyor. The system may cause the robotic arm to move the label printer into an application position that corresponds to the object position on the conveyor. The system may cause the label printer to print a label. The system may cause the label printer to apply the label to the object.

  • Patent number: 11308292
    Abstract: Scanning device assemblies including scanning devices and associated bases. An example scanning device assembly includes a scanning device including a housing, an optical imaging assembly disposed in the housing, and a base. The optical imaging assembly having an imaging field of view (FOV). The optical imaging assembly configured to capture one or more images of an environment appearing within the FOV. The base includes a base coupling portion to mate with a housing portion of the scanning device for supporting the scanning device during operation. The scanning device assembly includes a magnetic-rotational coupling formed between the scanning device and the base and allowing the scanning device to rotate relative to the base, while the base maintains support of the scanning device.
