ABSTRACT

A stacked-package detection system for a matrix sorter detects stacked
packages by comparing weight or dimension measurements on primary sorters from
those measurements on secondary sorters. Weight or dimension increases for a
package on a secondary sorter indicate a stack of packages. A recirculation
system diverts packages identified on the secondary sorters as stacked
packages back into bulk flow to be reprocessed by the primary or secondary
sorters.
