A method in a palletizing system which includes a processor in communication with a non-transitory memory element containing a computer code, said method comprising:
- generating a product list containing a plurality of products;
- associating a pallet identifier with each of said plurality of products;
- identifying conveyor products in said product list;
- identifying non-conveyor products in said product list;
- operating a product recognition device to identify said conveyor products based upon comparison of a product image to plurality of product image templates in a product image database;
- and
- operating a product sorter to sort said conveyor products identified by said product recognition device into one of a plurality of conveyor lanes based upon said pallet identifier associated with said conveyor products.
A display controlling method of a palletizing system including a computer device, a product conveyor which conveys conveyor products in relation to a product recognition device, a product sorter which sorts said conveyor products identified by said product recognition device into one of a plurality of conveyor lanes, and a controller, said display controlling method, comprising:
- displaying on said computer device a list of products each associated with a pallet identifier;
- indicating on said computer device said conveyor products in said list of products for movement to said product conveyor;
