手動支援型の空隙充填用ダンネージの分配システムおよび方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011516353
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A packaging system 100 includes a controller 102, an input device 104 in communication with the controller 102 that identifies one or more characteristics of the container, and a manual input device 106 in communication with the controller 102 that provides multiple input options for selection by a packer. The input options represent relative degrees to which a container is filled by one or more objects to be packaged. The controller 102 provides an output signal indicating a quantity of dunnage to dispense to the container based on the selected input option and the one or more identified characteristics of the container. Once the controller receives the container characteristics information, as well as the selected input option representing the relative degree to which the container is filled by the objects to be packaged, the controller can determine the number and lengths of dunnage strips that need to be provided to fill the remaining void in the container. Once the controller 102 has determined the amount dunnage that needs to be dispensed, the controller can signal a dunnage dispenser 110 to dispense the determined amount of dunnage.
