Techniques for optical lens characterization and calibration are described herein. In an example, a computer system receives a first image of a target captured by an image acquisition system having a camera and a lens and using first setting values in a setting space. The computer system inputs the first setting values and a first decode performance associated with image acquisition system having the first setting values for the barcode sets in the first image into a machine learning model and determines a representation of the setting space. The computer system inputs the machine learning model and one or more conditions into an algorithm and receives an output indicating second setting values in the setting space for the image acquisition system. The computer system sends the second setting values to the controller, which is configured to set the settings for the image acquisition system based on the second setting values.

Optical lens characterization and calibration

A modular sorting station includes a frame defining an inbound bay and an outbound bay, each of the bays being sized to receive an inventory holder containing inventory. A robotic grasper is mounted to the frame and positioned above one of the inbound and outbound bays and operable to transfer inventory items from the inbound bay to the outbound bay, and a sensor mounted to one of the frame or robotic grasper and operable to identify inventory at the inbound bay when the inventory holder is present in the inbound bay. The frame is sized and arranged to align with a material handling grid and permit drive units to transport inventory holders into and out of the inbound bay and/or outbound bays while moving along the material handling grid; and the frame is portable such that the modular sorting station can be moved as a modular unit for deployment.

Modular automated inventory sorting and retrieving

A modular sorting station includes a frame defining an inbound bay and an outbound bay, each of the inbound and outbound bays being sized to receive an inventory holder containing inventory thereon. A robotic grasper is mounted to the frame and positioned above one of the inbound and outbound bays and operable to transfer inventory items from the inbound bay to the outbound bay, and a sensor mounted to one of the frame or robotic grasper and operable to identify inventory at the inbound bay when the inventory holder is present in the inbound bay. The frame is sized and arranged to align with a material handling grid and permit drive units to transport inventory holders into and out of the inbound bay and/or outbound bays while moving along the material handling grid; and the frame is portable such that the modular sorting station can be moved as a modular unit for rapid deployment.
