Abstract:
A device, system, and method for detecting a covering sleeve on a container. A sleeve detection system includes a conveyor, a height profile acquisition device, and a processor in communication with the height profile acquisition device. The height profile acquisition device is configured to acquire height profiles of a tray traveling on the conveyor. The processor is configured to analyze height profiles received from the height profile acquisition device to determine a sleeve status of the tray. In some embodiments, a light gate is disposed across the conveyor and configured to detect the presence of a tray on the conveyor approaching the height profile acquisition device.

Claim (Index 3):
The tray processing apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to analyze the plurality of height profiles by:\n recording a count associated with either a sleeved status or an unsleeved status for each of the plurality of height profiles; and determining the sleeve status of the tray based on at least one of a total number of counts associated with the sleeved status and a total number of counts associated with the unsleeved status.
