Abstract

A computer-implemented product palletizing system and a method of product palletizing which includes processor in communication with a memory element containing a computer code executable to coordinate the discrete activities of one or more pickers and conveyor product sorting assembly to allocate a plurality of products to a plurality of pallets.

Claims (13)

1. A palletizing system, comprising:

a computer device which depicts a conveyor product identifier in association with conveyor products in a product list,

wherein depiction of said conveyor product identifier in association with said conveyor products in said product list directs a picker to move said conveyor products to a product conveyor sorter assembly, including:

an image recognition device which identities said conveyor product; and

a product sorter which sorts each said conveyor product identified by said image recognition device into one of a plurality of conveyor lanes based on a pallet identifier associated with each said conveyor product,

wherein said computer device depicts a pallet identifier in association non-conveyor products in said product list, and

wherein depiction of said pallet identifier in association with said non-conveyor products in said product list directs said picker to move said non-conveyor products to a pallet associated with said pallet identifier.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said computer device comprises a first computer device associated with a first picker picking conveyor products associated with said conveyor product identifier in said product list and a second computer device associated with a second picker picking non-conveyor products associated with said pallet identifier in said product list.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein said conveyor products have a location proximate said image recognition device.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein said non-conveyor products have a location proximate said conveyor lanes.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein said computer device prioritizes order in which to pick conveyor products in said product list.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein said computer device depicts a product wave identifier associated with a product wave including one or more of said product lists.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein said computer device prioritizes order in which to pick conveyor products in said product wave.
