A system and method designed to transport and package sequenced product. The system includes a first transport system for receiving and transporting, in a closed position, holders each of which contain product. A second transport system transports, in the closed position, the holders until each of the holders are aligned within a respective release position, at which operational stage the second transport system is capable of opening the holders to discharge the product in a sequenced order. A packager receives the discharged product and packages the product in the sequenced order.

Transporting and packaging device and method of use

A system and method for stacking and storing a plurality of trays includes a stacker system and a buffer system. The stacker system includes a component, e.g., a platform, which moves a tray between a raised position and a lowered position. The buffer system includes a plurality of opposing projections for capturing the tray when the component is in the raised position.

Tray stacking and buffer system and method of use

A system and method designed to collate sequenced product. The system includes a holding bin having a first open end and a second open end. A moveable table is positioned at the first open end of the holding bin. A sheet inserter mechanism is positioned adjacent to the second open end of the holding bin, and includes an inserting mechanism which inducts a sheet of material into the holding bin between product for each discrete delivery destination. In this manner, a collated stack of sequenced product may be formed by the system.
