Abstract
In a system and method for identifying and transferring parcels from a first conveyor to a second conveyor aligned with the first conveyor, a camera of a vision and control subsystem is used to acquire image data of a bulk flow of multiple parcels on the first conveyor. The image data is processed by a computer of the vision and control subsystem to identify individual parcels in the bulk flow of multiple parcels. The computer then activates a robot to engage and transfer selected individual parcels in the bulk flow of multiple parcels in a predetermined sequence. After the robot has engaged and transferred the selected individual parcels, the computer communicates instructions to the first conveyor to advance remaining parcels in the bulk flow of multiple parcels on the first conveyor to the second conveyor.
