Package vision sort system and method

摘要

The vision sort system provides a semi-automated sort system that requires no other action from the user other than picking up a box and placing on a skid. The vision sort system is most effective in a manual sort system. The vision sort system integrates various operational technologies in order to provide staff with information to ensure the packages are sorted to the correct destination. Validation feedback is provided to ensure no missorts occur. Information is collected on the package and final destination for tracking purposes. Benefits of the vision sort system include sort accuracy, package visibility, and reduced requirement for sort knowledge by operator and revenue recovery (cube and reweigh) on all packages. This application is perfect for pick and pack systems that are in-motion and any transportation sortation facility. This is applicable for any product including mail or non packaged items.
