Abstract:
An automated palletizer includes an automated package pick device capable of moving packages from a package deposit section to a pallet to form a pallet load from packages, a controller that is operably connected to the automated pick device, the controller having a pallet load generator configured to determine a pallet load structure of mixed packages, the pallet load generator being programmed so that it determines the load structure from mixed package layers overlaid over each other at least one of the mixed package layers being formed of stacks of mixed packages, top and bottom surfaces of the stacks corresponding to the at least one mixed package layer respectively forming top and bottom surfaces of the at least one mixed package layer that are substantially flat. The controller generates commands for the pick device to build the pallet load from the load structure determined by the pallet load generator.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for building a pallet load of mixed packages formed from more than one individual package, the method comprising:\n forming mixed package stacks from the more than one individual package forming the mixed packages; arranging the mixed package stacks into at least one mixed package layer within bounds of a pallet frame; and overlaying another layer of packages over the at least one mixed package layer; the top and bottom surfaces of at least one of the mixed package stacks respectively defining top and bottom surfaces of the at least one mixed package layer each of which is flat, the top surface of the at least one mixed package layer being uniformly level and extending over more than one of the mixed package stacks forming the at least one mixed package layer, the another layer of packages being formed of different mixed package stacks over the top flat surface of the at least one mixed package layer, the another layer of packages having a position and orientation selected based on a position of the mixed package stacks of the at least one mixed package layer.
