Induction station for conveying packages in storage facility

A dimensioning system for an induction station in a warehouse, the dimensioning system comprising:

• a first set of sensors configured to collect first sensor data for measuring a height of each package of one or more packages;
• and
• a second set of sensors configured to collect second sensor data for measuring a length and a width of each package,
• wherein each package is placed on at least one of first and second conveyors of the induction station and is moving from at least one of the first and second conveyors to a third conveyor of the induction station, and
• wherein a controller of the induction station determines the height of each package based on the first sensor data collected by the first set of sensors, and the length and width of each package based on the second sensor data collected by the second set of sensors.

An induction station for conveying one or more packages in a storage facility, the induction station comprising:

• a plurality of parallel feed conveyors and one or more buffer conveyors, wherein the plurality of parallel feed conveyors are used for conveying the one or more packages from the plurality of parallel feed conveyors to the one or more buffer conveyors, and wherein the plurality of parallel feed conveyors include at least first and second conveyors;
• a first set of sensors for measuring a weight, a height, a length, and a width of each package;
• a second set of sensors for detecting a package type of each package as one of a first package type or a second package type, wherein the second set of sensors is installed in a first gap between the first and second conveyors;
• and
• a controller configured to control a speed of each of the plurality of parallel feed conveyors and the one or more buffer conveyors for conveying the one or more packages, wherein the speed of each of the plurality of parallel feed conveyors and the one or more buffer conveyors is controlled based on the detected package type of each package and at least one of the weight, height, length, and width of each package.
