Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patented technology is that it allows for accurate monitoring and correction of mail products during production without any errors caused by incorrect handling.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes a technical problem addressed in this patent where there is a need for a system to automatically sense, monitor, and manage various conditions within a pocket while maintaining accurate insertion of flat items like newsprints. Current solutions require operators manually adjust the placement of the mailpieces inside the pocket before inserting them. However, these current solutions lack accuracy due to factors like paper thickness and flexibility.

Abstract

A system uses a plurality of sensors to detect and manage conditions within a moving pocket, such as a pocket carrying a flat product from one location to another. The system is particularly useful in connection with a newspaper insert machine. One sensor detects whether the product has been opened properly at a particular time; another sensor detects whether the product has been properly gripped by a gripper at a particular time; another sensor detects whether the pocket is empty at a particular time and another sensor detects whether the pocket is open or closed at a particular time. In the event an error condition is detected, the error condition is corrected by a control system.
