Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a conveyor system that optimizes a gap between items. The gap is optimized to maximize throughput of the conveyor system with respect to bottlenecks in the conveyor system, such as label applicators that print and apply label to items that are being advanced through the conveyor system.
