Controller devices may be communicatively coupled to distributed devices in a workspace. The controller devices may be positioned in various geographic locations relative to locations of the distributed devices within the workspace. Each of the controller devices may be utilized to maintain an account of, and locally control, one or more of the distributed devices. Portal devices may utilize the controller devices to manage the distributed devices by configuring, controlling, and updating the controller devices. The control devices may be utilized to establish communication channels between the portal devices and the distributed devices to provide access for a user to the distributed devices. The communication channels may be accessible to user devices based on security credentials that are modified in real-time or near real-time.

Controller device management of peripheral devices

A control system for an automated singulation system is provided. The control system detects a presence of a first item on a first conveyor and detects a presence of a second item on a second conveyor while the first item is present on the first conveyor. The second conveyor transfers items onto the first conveyor and is at a lower height than the second conveyor. The first conveyor is oriented perpendicularly with respect to the second conveyor. In response to detecting the presence of the second item, a location of the first item along a length of the first conveyor is determined. The first conveyor and the second conveyor are controlled based at least on the location of the first item.

Control system for automated singulation system

An automated system for singulating items is provided. The automated system includes a singulation apparatus. The singulation apparatus includes multiple conveyor modules and a vertical frame structure. Each of the multiple conveyor modules has an identical physical structure. The vertical frame structure provides multiple horizontal mounting locations, each at a different height along the vertical frame structure. Each of the conveyor modules is mounted to a different one of the multiple horizontal mounting locations.
