Automated packaging system for transferring dunnage product to container
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11958648B2) discloses a packaging system designed for transferring a dunnage product to a packaging container efficiently. The system comprises a dunnage sensor to detect the dunnage product at an alignment reference plane in a staging location, a package sensor to detect the packaging container at the same reference plane in a loading location, and a dunnage placement apparatus to transfer the dunnage product to the container. A controller coordinates the signals from both sensors to initiate the transfer process, ensuring proper alignment and placement of the dunnage product in the container.
Furthermore, the patent includes detailed claims regarding the positioning of the staging location above the loading location, the specific orientations required for detection by the sensors, and the components involved in the dunnage placement apparatus. The method outlined in the patent involves detecting the dunnage product and packaging container, transmitting alignment signals, and ultimately transferring the dunnage product to the container upon receiving the necessary signals. The system's design, including a staging member with a sloped bottom wall and gate members for transferring the dunnage product, aims to streamline the packaging process and improve efficiency in transferring dunnage products to packaging containers.
