Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A material handling system comprising: a robotic carton unloader, and an extendable conveyor system configured to convey articles from the robotic carton unloader to other portions of the material handling system; a vision device on one of the robotic carton unloader and the extendable conveyor system, and a target on the other of the robotic carton unloader and the extendable conveyor system, the vision device being configured to image the target; a vision system configured to perform image processing to detect changes in size, orientation and/or location of the target within the field of view of the vision device; a controller configured to control alignment between the extendable conveyor system and the robotic carton unloader based on the changes detected by the vision system.
