Sortation of items using an image fingerprint to right the items

A system comprising:

• an assembly including a platform having a plurality of slots, and a plurality of fingers extending through the plurality of slots, the plurality of fingers configured to support one or more items therebetween;
• one or more sensors configured to detect a characteristic associated with at least one item;
• and
• a controller, wherein the controller is configured to:
• receive, from the one or more sensors, the characteristic associated with at least one item;
• based on the received characteristic associated with the at least one item, determine an angle of the at least one item, and
• move the plurality of fingers based on the determined angle of the at least one item.

A method for optimizing a transfer of items, the method comprising, by an automated process:

• receiving one or more items at a first assembly within a content transfer system;
• receive, from one or more sensors, a characteristic associated with at least one item at the first assembly;
• based on the received characteristic associated with the at least one item, determine a first distance between a plurality of first fingers;
• move the plurality of first fingers based on the determined first distance;
• based on the received characteristic associated with at least one item, determine a second distance between a plurality of second fingers;
• move the plurality of second fingers based on the determined second distance;
• and
• rotate the first assembly and the second assembly, to translate the first and the second assembly in a predetermined sequence to transfer the one or more items to an output location.
