Abstract
A parcel handling and tracking system allows an all-around scanning of identifying features thanks to a scanning window, where the parcels are configured to sit at the scanning window on a resting surface of the parcel itself. The scanning window is light permeable to allow reading of the identifying features at the resting surface, possibly together with other identifying features at surfaces of the parcel other than the resting surface.
Claims15
A parcel handling and tracking system for reading identifying features on parcels moving through the handling and tracking system, comprising:
- a scanning window movable from a reading position to a transfer position, the scanning window being configured to support a parcel at a resting surface of the parcel when in the reading position,
- a first scanning device positioned at the scanning window on an opposite side of the parcel when the scanning window is in the reading position, the first scanning device being configured to scan one or more identifying features on a the parcel,
- wherein the scanning window is light permeable to allow scanning therethrough of one or more identifying features at the resting surface of the parcel by the first scanning device when the scanning window is in the reading position, and
- wherein the scanning window is configured to be flipped to the transfer position to move the parcel off the scanning window.
