Abstract

An object loader system is provided for loading objects from storage into an object processing application. A first conveyor receives the objects from storage, and a second conveyor receives the objects from the first conveyor system at a predetermined location. A sensor determines detection of objects approximately relative to the predetermined location. The first conveyor conveys the objects to the second conveyor based upon the determined detection by the sensor.
