Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for autonomously stacking and compressing a plurality of unbound folded laundry articles in a packing queue are described. A method includes receiving output signal from one or more sensors determinative of the height of an unbound folded laundry article disposed on a conveyor configured to deposit the unbound folded laundry article atop one or more previously deposited one or more unbound folded laundry articles disposed on the packing queue platform; receiving an output signal determinative of a height of the previously deposited one or more unbound folded laundry articles; calculating a final stack height; depositing in a stack the folded laundry article atop the previously deposited one or more folded laundry articles upon determining the final stack height will not exceed a threshold height; and compressing the stack to a final stack height at or below the threshold height for compact loading into a container.
