Abstract: A fluid deposition system is provided. The system comprises one or more electronic processors, and one or more electronic memories each electrically connected to at least one of the one or more processors and having instructions stored therein. The processor(s) is/are configured to access the memory or memories and execute the instructions stored therein such that the processor(s) is/are configured to: determine whether one or more predetermined criteria are met for initiating deposition of fluid onto an area of interest; when it is determined that the criteria is/are met, determine one or more operating parameters of the fluid deposition system to use in the deposition of the fluid onto the area of interest; and following the determination of the operating parameter(s), generate one or more electrical signals to cause the fluid to be deposited onto the area of interest in accordance with the determined parameter(s).

Abstract: An object processing system is disclosed that includes a first support structure for supporting a plurality of containers that are positioned to receive a plurality of objects, a second support structure for receiving any of the plurality of containers when each of the plurality of containers is ready to be discharged from the first support structure, and an automated mobile transfer unit for selectively transferring a selected container from the first support structure to the second support structure, said automated mobile transfer unit including a mobile chassis unit for moving the at least one automated mobile transfer unit in a first direction among the first support structure and the second support structure, and a payload transfer system supported by the mobile chassis unit and adapted to transfer a selected container of the plurality of containers from the first support structure to the second support structure.

Abstract: An object processing system is disclosed that includes a distribution system for distributing a plurality of objects among a plurality of containers, an output conveyance system for receiving a plurality of completed containers, and a container discharge system for emptying any contents of a container of the plurality of completed containers into a destination location, the container discharge system including a discharge conveyor section in which the container is suspended and moved in a conveyor direction while permitting a bottom of the container to drop open to discharge any contents of the container into the destination location.

Abstract: An object processing system is disclosed that includes an infeed processing system including a source bin feed conveyor for providing source bins, a distribution system for receiving the source bins and for receiving a plurality of empty bins, and for providing objects from the source bins to a collection of processing locations, each processing location including an empty bin of the plurality of empty bins thereby providing the previously empty bins as processed bins when completed, and an outfeed processing system for moving the processed bins away from the collection of processing locations, wherein the empty bins and the processed bins are each positioned at some point in their respective output paths on a common out-feed conveyor.
