An apparatus includes a conveyor (20,320), a programmable motion device (80), and a controller (40,340). The conveyor preferably includes actuatable rollers (22), and the programmable motion device (80) is preferably a robotic arm. The controller (40,340) operates the conveyor (20,320), a stopping rail (60), and a positioning rail (70) to move and position a box in a cutting position relative to the robotic arm. The controller (40,340) determines three dimension of the box and translates a programmed cut pattern to those determined dimensions. Based on the determined dimensions, the controller (40,340) then operates the robotic arm to perform the programmed cut pattern in the box with the cutting element (100,110,130,150,344). The cutting element preferably has square blade (120) so that each of the four double-surfaced cutting edges (122) can be used to cut a side of the box without having to rotate the cutting element (110) during operation. |
