Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for singulation of items in a conveyor system. As items flow though conveyors and the like in a facility, such items may be directed onto a singulator that comprises a matrix of singulation conveyors. A camera is provided that has a field of view directed to the matrix of singulation conveyors. A singulation controller detects, in an image from the camera, a first one of the items and a second one of the items positioned on the matrix of singulation conveyors that require singulation in a direction of a flow of the items. The speed of at least one of the singulation conveyors is controlled to generate a relative movement between the first one of the items and the second one of the items positioned on the singulator to create a predefined gap therebetween on a downstream conveyor positioned downstream from the singulator.
