Embodiment Construction

[0018] Referring now to the drawings and the illustrative embodiments described therein, a material handling system 10 includes a plurality of first processing stations 12 and second processing stations 26, the first processing stations 12 being referred to as stations 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d. …12n( figure 1 and figure 2 ), the second processing station 26 is referred to as station 26a, 26b...26n. Material handling system 10' is substantially the same as system 10, except that processing stations 12, 26 have a different physical layout than material handling system 10. Each processing station 12 has a first input 14 configured for receiving items and a first output 16 configured for unloading items from the respective processing station. For example, if the first processing station 12 is an item storage system, the first input 14 is used to supply items stored in the storage system and the first output 16 is used to unload items from the storage system.

Abstract

A material-handling system and method includes at least one first processing station, each having an input and an output. A linear transfer system made up of a plurality of transfer units that travel in unison in a linear motion past the input and output of the first processing station(s) either receives articles from the output and discharges articles to the input or transfers articles between the first processing station and a second processing station. A control sequences articles between the transfer units and the first input and output or between the first processing station and a second processing station in a manner that enhances operation of the processing station(s).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to material handling systems and methods of handling items such as boxes or items, split cases for items, handbags for personal items, etc., and more particularly, conveyor systems for such material handling systems. Background technique [0002] Material handling systems are prone to "pinch points," which are locations where the flow of items often slows down due to the need to retrieve the items in the proper order for further processing. When using different caching systems to reduce such pinches, it is possible to create pinches within the caching system itself. Contents of the invention [0003] The present invention relates to conveying systems and methods of reducing the workflow of pinch points in material handling systems thereby increasing the operational efficiency of material handling systems. Furthermore, multiple material handling systems can be linked together in a manner that enables items to be conveyed...
