Publication number: 20240028980Abstract: Disclosed herein is an automated cross-dock management system configured to optimize moves on a cross-dock. The automated cross-dock management system uses inbound manifest data to calculate ordered move instructions for all inbound movable platforms, inbound modular decks, and inbound freight. The ordered move instructions can be assigned to be carried out by manual conveyance vehicles or by automated guided vehicles based upon a plurality of criteria. The automated cross-dock management system is also able to detect damaged freight on the cross-dock using a combination of streams from video cameras.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Patrick Sullivan, Jefferson Maldonado, Shannon Lively, Kerry Jenkins, Jonathan McCormack, Jeremy Sloan

Publication number: 20220402734Abstract: Disclosed herein is an automated conveyance robot (ACR) for conveying movable platforms (MPs) in and out of trailers. A lift carriage at a first end of the ACR is configured to couple to the MP during movement and disengage after movement. A counterweight system at a second end of the ACR counterbalances the ACR during conveyance. The ACR comprises a front drive assembly and a rear drive assembly which are independently steerable to allow for different steering methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2021Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Jefferson MALDONADO, Dylan HENDERSON, Srijith UMAKANTH, David ALBERS, Mark BELIN, Kenneth Lee NOBLITT, Brock MCALLISTER

Publication number: 20220381553Abstract: Disclosed herein is a dimensioner table (DT) that is highly transportable and can be removably or permanently affixed to a mobile platform (MP). This allows freight to be scanned at the time of pickup or each time it is unloaded/loaded onto a new MP. The dimensioning information collected from the DT can be used to create a 3D model of the freight which can be used to help provide loading instructions. The successive scans of the freight by each DT can also be used to identify any discrepancies in the 3D models or captured images which may indicate damage or partial loss of freight.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Robert Thomas Pangrazio, Jefferson Maldonado
