ABSTRACT

A packaging system for end-of-line box processing includes two or more
end-of-line box processing stations each configured to perform one or more
end-of-line processing operations, an autonomous vehicle, and a controller.
The box processing stations include a supply of boxes, a product delivery
station where objects to be shipped are placed in a box, and a sensor for
detecting characteristics of the box and the objects in the box. The
autonomous vehicle is configured to autonomously transport the box from the
product delivery station to selected ones of the two or more box processing
stations. The controller is in communication with the sensor and the
autonomous vehicle, and is configured to selectively direct the autonomous
vehicle to transport the box from the product delivery station to other
selected ones of the two or more box processing stations, based at least in
part on information from the sensor.
