  • Publication number: 20240124178
    Abstract: A pallet wrapper and imaging system a pallet loaded with containers to calculate a sustainability based upon a type of the pallet and the containers on the pallet. The system also determines the stability of the pallet and containers, a speed at which the pallet and containers can be wrapped, and an amount of stretch film needed to secure the load for transport. After validation by the imaging system (with or without a wrapper), a QC bot assists a QC worker in remedying or checking any detected errors or potential errors.

  • Publication number: 20230259951
    Abstract: A roll-out cart warranty processing system includes a mobile device app and a server. The mobile device app prompts a resident to take at least one image of the roll-out cart, particularly any damaged portion(s) of the roll-out cart. The mobile device app then uploads the at least one image to a server. The server analyzes the at least one image to determine whether the roll-out cart is covered by warranty. The server also analyzes the at least one image to determine whether any identifiable damage would be covered by warranty.

  • Publication number: 20230147974
    Abstract: A pick assist system may include a pallet destacker storing a front column of pallets and a back column of pallets. At least one rfid reader is configured to read an rfid tag on a pallet in or below at least one of the front column of pallets or the back column of pallets. The pick assist system may include a pallet sled including a display indicating a product to be retrieved. The pallet sled may determine that the product has been placed in a center of a pallet on the pallet sled. A method for verifying a pallet may include identifying skus on exterior products in a layer in a stack of products. Based upon that determination, the skus of the interior products may also be determined. For example, it may be determined that the interior products were part of a layer pick.
