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 7):
An automated palletizer comprising:\n an automated package pick device capable of moving individual packages from a package deposit section to a pallet to form a pallet load from the individual packages; a controller that is operably connected to the automated package 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 covering an area within bounds of a pallet frame of a pallet, the mixed package layers being 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 flat, and at least one other mixed package layer being formed of different stacks of mixed packages over the flat top surface of the at least one of the mixed package layers, the at least one other mixed package layer having a position or orientation selected based on a position of the stacks of mixed packages in the at least one of the mixed package layers; wherein the controller generates commands for the pick device to build the pallet load from the load structure determined by the pallet load generator.
