Systems and methods are disclosed for automated containers for packing of multi-item packages. In one embodiment, an example system may include an automated container having a first wireless charging coil, a first moveable sidewall, a second moveable sidewall, and a first actuator configured to move at least one of the first moveable sidewall or the second moveable sidewall. The system may include a controller configured to determine a first size of a first item, determine a second size of a second item, determine a first position for the first moveable sidewall based at least in part on the first size and the second size, determine a second position for the second moveable sidewall at least in part on the first size and the second size, cause the first moveable sidewall to move to the first position, and cause the second moveable sidewall to move to the second position.

Automated containers for packing of multi-item packages

A material handling apparatus for reorienting and transferring inventory items to a packaging device includes a support member and a packaging conveyor. The support member receives an inventory item and reorients the item to a rejection orientation or a packaging orientation. The item is moved onto the packaging conveyor in the packaging orientation and is transported to the packaging device.

Material handling apparatus

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for defect prevention for flexible container sealing systems. In one embodiment, an example flexible container sealing system may include a first camera configured to image an item disposed in a flexible container, a laser system configured to detect presence of items, a cutting assembly configured to cut a material that forms the flexible container, a sealing assembly configured to seal one or more ends of the flexible container, and a computer system configured to determine, using the first camera, a height of the item disposed in the flexible container.
