Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
Matt Cerda drove in three runs on an RBI single and two sacrifice flies, leading the EXST Cubs to a 7-5 victory over the EXST A's in Extended Spring Training action at Fitch Park Field #3 this morning in Mesa.
In addition to Cerda's contributions to the offense, Logan Watkins reached base three times on two walks and an RBI triple, Alvaro Sosa had four singles, and Jose Valdez had two hits and stole three bases.
RHP Josh Whitlock (2008 26th round draft pick out of the U. of West Virginia) made his first appearance with the EXST Cubs after getting demoted from Peoria yesterday, allowing two runs in two innings of work. He labored a bit and struggled with his command, essentially the same problem he had at Peoria.
Also, RHP Robert Hernandez was virtually unhittable in his two innings, retiring all six hitters he faced on four strikeouts, an infield pop up, and a weak ground ball to 2B. Hernandez is at EXST rehabbing from a sprained ankle suffered while pitching for Daytona during the last week of Minor League Camp
And RHP Cedric Redmond (rehabbing from broken finger) finally made his first game appearance of 2009, tossing a scoreless extra half-inning that was tacked onto the end of the contest after the Cubs had already won the game.
While the Cubs and A's played on Field #3, six Cubs pitchers needing work (Yohan Gonzalez, Gian Guzman, Cody Hams, Marcos Perez, George Pineda, and Ryan Sontag) threw two innings a piece (15 pitches each inning) in a six-inning simulated game on Field #2, facing John Contreras, Sean Hoorelbeke, Jose Made, and Chris Weimer.
Hot-hitting INF Dwayne Kemp is out of action for a few days with a quad injury.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only)...
1. Jose Valdez, CF: 2-4 (4-3, 1B, 1B, K - 2 R, 3 SB)
2. Logan Watkins, DH #1: 1-2 (BB, 3B, BB, L-7 - 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 SB, 1 CS)
3. Matt Cerda, 2B: 1-1 (BB, F-7 SF, F-7 SF, 1B - 1 R, 3 RBI)
4. Jericho Jones, DH #2: 2-4 (1B, 6-3, 1B, 5-3 - 1 RBI)
5. Jesus Morelli, RF: 0-3 (F-9, HBP, F-8, 4-3 - 1 R, 1 SB)
6. Juan Medina, C-1B: 1-4 (1B, P-4, 4-3, K - 1 R)
7. Alvaro Sosa, 1B-C: 4-4 (1B, 1B, 1B, 1B)
8. George Matheus, 3B: 1-4 (6-4 FC, 6-3, 6-4 FC, 1B - 2 RBI)
9. Sean Williams, LF: 0-4 (6-3 GIDP, 6-3, 6-3, 1-3)
10. Robert Bautista, SS: 1-3 (1-3, K, 1B - 1 R, 1 SB)
1. Jon Nagel - 3.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R (2 ER), 0 BB, 4 K, 5/0 GO/FO
2. Josh Whitlock - 2.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R (2 ER), 2 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 2/2 GO/FO
3. Josh Lansford - 2.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 0 K, 1 WP, 1 GIDP, 4/1 GO/FO
4. Robert Hernandez - 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K, 1/1 GO/FO
5. Cedric Redmond - 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 0/2 GO/FO
1. SS Robert Bautista - errant throw to 1st base (E-6) allowed batter to reach base safely with one out and nobody on base in the top of the 2nd inning.
2. 3B George Matheus - easy one hopper bounced off glove (E-5) allowing batter to reach base safely with two outs and the bases empty in the top of the 10th inning.
RF Jesus Morelli threw out baserunner 9-5 trying to advance from 1st to 3rd on line-drive base hit to RF with two outs in the top of the 7th inning.
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
Thanks Phil -
Great as always. Question for you - did you get to see Starlin Castro last year in Arizona and if so, give us your impressions as he is really starting to perform well in A Ball. Also, I'm interested in your thoughts on our prospects with a month of the year under our belts. I've been pleasantly surprised by Vitters, Thomas, Jay Jackson and a few others recently. I'd love to get your thoughts on the top 10 or so since you know the system so well.
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
Thanks, Arizona Phil!
I'm disappointed to see Hernandez seems stuck as a reliever these days.
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
are they gonna give lansford all year to attempt this pitching thing?
his numbers look criz-appy so far...how he look in person?
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
Kevin Goldstein from baseball prospectus on Vitters:
Josh Vitters, 3B, Cubs (Single-A Peoria)
It's not easy being the only premium prospect in the system, but with three hits each game on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Vitters is hitting .407 in 16 games this year, and the power is beginning to show up in a major way, as the 2007 first-rounder hit his fourth home run of the year on Friday, and added a pair of doubles and his fifth homer on Sunday. Early on, scouts were calling Brett Lawrie the best young hitter in the Midwest League, but a few trips to Peoria have changed that assessment, and Vitters now holds the title.
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
And add to that Vitters just had his FOURTH straight 3-hit game, which included a double and his fifth HR this season.
The dude is strokin' it right now.
PHIL-- should we expect to see Vitters move up to Daytona? There's not really a Third Sacker there anyway, unless Jovan Rosa is considered one.
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
Once again, no attendance figures. How does Rob G tolerate these detail-less posts?????????? Is he getting paid off by Google? I'm flummoxed. Is detail-less a word? Or is it detailess? Is AZ Phil the Bizarro world of reporting?
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
AZ Phil....... I know we have a lot of pitchers, and in order to get them all some innings we have been sending out 5-6 pitchers per game. I assume that the other teams are doing the same thing so I guess it's unusual for our batters to face the same pitcher more than once in a game. I think that once these guys start playing in Boise and get to bat against a starting pitcher for 5-7 innings, we will see more power numbers (extra base hits & HRs )Is the biggest concern with this group in Mesa the poor defense that they have been playing? Thanks for your daily reports
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
Quick question, but can someone remind me what Carlos Perez is doing? I can't seem to remember.
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
Perez was released.
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
I forgot all about that - was rather intrigued by him.
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
Phil, thanks for all the reports and observations.
I know you mentioned Antigua pitching the other day, but he's appeared in many of your game reports. Does he look any bigger or faster than you've seen him in the past?
Do you know who went up to Peoria when Whitlock went down?
Also, are there any convert guys who throw notably hard? I'm recalling it didn't take long for some guys like Marmol and Dolis to stand out for their velocity. And I can recall some other converts who never turned into anything, but I recall reports on Oscar Bernard and Andy Mejia throwing very fast at times, even though they never went anywhere as pitchers.
You've mentioned that Quezada has looked good, and he had really nice numbers in DSL last year. Does he have a big fastball?
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
Phil, has Francisco Guzman been returned to Fitch with Tyler Colvin playing again at Daytona?
Re: Cubs Dump A's 7-5 at Fitch Park
Yes has has been returned to EST.

I believe Willson now has more CS than MIggy. The kid has an arm. Also, Russell is amazingly good on those plays at 2nd.
oh yeah...thanks joe/billy.
poor outing, still got the win, go cubs.
Although it felt like it, Jake didn't lose to them -- he got the W. (Assuming you are referring to Monday's game)
Arrieta didn't lose to the Reds. He got the win -- he just didn't pitch like we expect him to.
almora's 1st HR!
it's not like this CIN team is lost-cause horrible, but aside from defense and power this is a truly horrible team.
kinda crazy arrieta lost to them and yesterday's game had to go 15 innings for the cubs win.
It looked like Hamilton got screened by Duvall and that Duvall just barely deflected the ball off of his glove--redirecting it slightly without taking away much of its momentum.
At least it didn't turn into a Schwarber/Fowler situation. Hamilton and Duvall are both pretty important youngish players for the Reds.
he walked off the field on his own. aside from a concussion watch and some attention to his leg/knee that buckled a bit under him, the biggest thing hurt was probably his pride after the ball knocked off his skull.
After last night, an inside-the-park HR seems kind of run-of-the-mill somehow.
Sounds bad for Hamilton. Hope he's okay--listening on the radio.
SHOW ME THE MONEY: Jose Albertos has signed with Mega-Agent Scott Boras.
Albertos has already received his signing bonus and won't see any additional significant money until he reaches the big leagues, so this is a long-term investment for the Boras Corporation.
I am glad Joe is managing this team and not Old and Blue!
Baez had Maddon's ass last night. I didn't hear the reason for taking Contreras out last night but whatever game management thingy it was, you don't take out your second hottest hitter. Or is he third? Anyway, you don't take him out. The guy can probably play anywhere in the field, anyway. Did anybody see that nice catch in left he made? I don't think he got a late start on that, just tracked it damn well for a catcher.
Per Fangraphs...
Bryant took over NL lead in WAR after yesterday's effort. 3.9. Rizzo's at 2.8 and 8th in the league. Rizzo actually with better offensive numbers (161 wRC+ versus 146 for Bryant), but Bryant gets a good bump because of defense and position(s) played.
Fowler with a 2.8 WAR as well (9th), Zobrist with a 2.7 (14th).
M. Carpenter leads NL with 163 wRC+ just ahead of Rizzo who is 2nd.
@jonahkeri Joe Maddon living out Joe Maddon fanfic IRL tonight
yes. I was at the Sean Marshall game in LF. Lou Piniella was managing. StL won 4-2, so I guess it didn't help but it was zany. Soriano/Reed Johnson and Marshall were the LF's.
On a 6 degrees of separation note: Cubs got Travis Wood in the trade that sent Sean Marshall to Cincy.

*Did Spike Lee's "Bad 25" documentary seriously bomb on ABC?
According to reports, the debut of the highly anticipated production showed only 4.2 million viewers tuned in on Thanksgiving evening.
Maybe it was the turkey hangover and the NFL – a longtime Thanksgiving day, TV favorite .
Fox network's "The X Factor" actually raked in more viewers than "Bad 25" with 9.4 million fans; but football had a whopping 15.9 million television audience members.
The Spike Lee joint will have another chance to win over fans when it debuts on BBC2 on Saturday, December 1, at 9:45 p.m.

Happy back to work day folks! Here are the top cyber stories of the day.
- Naval Reactor Program needed to consider more options for business system - a recent OIG report found that The Naval Reactors Program failed to report spending of more than $10 million or adequately consider commercial off-the-shelf solutions when it improved its Enterprise Business System. Apparently, the NRP did not address why they chose to developer their EBS in house, as opposed to looking for COTS systems. Via FierceGovernment IT, more here.
- The first warnings for mcommerce concerns for Google OS smartphones and tablets released for 2013 - a new form of mobile malware is available, which hijacks the Android OS and enables the command and control server to use the device to participate in DDoS attacks and more. Researchers are not yet positive the extent of the attack, but say it has not spread too far, yet. Via QR Codepress, more here.
- Feds OK First Vendor on Cloud Security – FedRAMP, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, has officially certified Autonomic Resources LLC as compliant with their provisions. This is really heartening to see that cloud is coming to the government and they are making it work. Via Information Management.com, more here.
- Ozone Widget Framework on GitHub – as we reported in the past, the Ozone Widget Framework has now been added to the GitHub network. Its Google Groups are now open to the public and they have user, developer and announcements groups. This is a really exciting step for the OWF and I think we can expect to see some awesome new developments there. Via FierceGovernment IT, more here.
- Congress Trims Spy Budget for 2013 - In one of the last votes of the year, House lawmakers voted Monday 373-29 in favor of a Senate-passed bill to slightly boost the president's $72 billion budget request for intelligence agencies including the CIA, adding extra cash for the counterterrorism fight against al-Qaida, and the counterintelligence fight against foreign governments trying to spy on the U.S. This bill will allegedly do a better job at parceling out money to successful programs, while limiting dollars wasted. Via gnom.es, more here.
- Microsoft issues 'fix it' for IE vulnerability - a vulnerability affects IE 6, 7 and 8 is sneaking by people's defenses. Teh attack uses part of the "Bitrose" code which can steal files from your computers, and allow access to your files.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Social Determinants of Mental Health
Report abstract
This report was written by the UCL Institute of Health Equity and published by the World Health Organization and the Gulbenkian Foundation.
Its key messages are as follows:
- Mental health and many common mental disorders are shaped to a great extent by the social, economic, and physical environments in which people live.
- Social inequalities are associated with increased risk of many common mental disorders.
- Taking action to improve the conditions of daily life from before birth, during early childhood, at school age, during family building and working ages, and at older ages provides opportunities both to improve population mental health and to reduce the risk of those mental disorders that are associated with social inequalities.
- While comprehensive action across the life course is needed, scientific consensus is considerable that giving every child the best possible start will generate the greatest societal and mental health benefits.
- Action needs to be universal: across the whole of society, and proportionate to need in order to level the social gradient in health outcomes.
- This paper highlights effective actions to reduce risk of mental disorders throughout the life course, at the community level and at the country level. It includes environmental, structural, and local interventions. Such actions to prevent mental disorders are likely to promote mental health in the population.

A Pro's Two Fixed Focal Length Portrait Lenses & The Six Reasons He Owns Them; Only For The Not Ready For Full-Frame Players! Page 2
This lens combo is ideal for digital cameras that have a conversion factor of about 1.5. The 85mm focal length will of course be fine with a full-frame camera, but one lens does not a combo make. Full-frame shooters may want to consider finding an 85-135mm lens to approximate the results I'm describing here. But those of us with smaller sensors are able to find great, inexpensive lenses in ideal focal lengths for portraiture. The 50 (75) length is great for shooting where space is at a premium and the 90 (135) length is about the ideal combination in terms of length, price, weight, and performance.
5) Weight
If you're like me, the thought of hanging a big, heavy zoom around your neck all day doesn't sound like fun. If I'm not having fun, I don't want to take many photos. In the studio is one thing, but running around at a park or beach with heavy lenses and a tripod doesn't appeal to me. I usually shoot with a bare minimum of equipment and rarely use a tripod, so weight is important to me. Will an 80-200mm f/2.8 lens take care of most of my shooting needs? Absolutely! But at over 2.5 lbs, it's an albatross around my neck! Compare that to the 5.5 oz of the 50mm lens, or the 13.2 oz of the Nikon 85mm f/1.8 lens. Remembering that you must carry back-up gear, this allows me to carry a pretty small bag and shoot freely.
6) Maximum Aperture
Here's one of the best parts: that big old f/stop. Working at f/1.8 was only a dream in medium format and f/2.8 was only on the "normal" lens. There are of course two big reasons we love the fast lenses--the shallow depth of field and the ability to shoot in low light, even at slower ISOs.
The shallow depth creates a great look that sends sharp backgrounds and foregrounds packing. The speed extends my shooting day into the time where the light is usually at its best--the tail end of the day around and even after sunset. I prefer not to use flash on my outdoor portraits, and beach portraits are very popular in my area. The only way I can hold detail in both my subject and the water and sky in the background without a flash is to wait until the brightness range is lowered at the end of the day. In many cases I'll shoot with my f/2.8 lenses until it's dark, then I'll grab the 1.8 and finish the shoot with it. I'll usually start shooting at ISO 100 and end up at ISO 400. When I hit about 1/30 sec at f/1.8, I'm done; remember, I'm not using a tripod unless it's a group. Any darker than that and I'll probably wander into the ocean anyway!
What Can This Lens Duo Do?
To exploit the potential of this lens duo, I worked with model Meaghan Parker at the beach. Sunset was at 7:20pm, so I started shooting about 6:45pm. I took every image with the lens wide-open, starting with a Nikon D200 and the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 lens. Image 1 was taken at about 7:00pm and even at an ISO of 100 I was able to shoot at 1/125 sec wide-open. You can see the light striking her hair on the left, which was west, from the setting sun, which had gone down below the trees. Image 2 was taken just a few minutes later and the light was now soft enough that I could use it for directional light, again on the left. Note that it was taken three minutes later and I had to drop down half a stop to 1/90 sec.
The final shot Image 3 was taken with a Fuji FinePix S2 Pro camera with the Nikon 50mm lens. This was taken at 7:38pm (isn't digital wonderful!), almost 20 minutes after sunset. The shutter speed was 1/45 sec and the ISO was now at 400, and there is a little movement there, but up until 7:30pm I could keep it at 1/60 sec at ISO 200, so don't be afraid to shoot near sunset. The lens of course is at f/1.8. Note the very shallow, and very lovely, depth of field in each image.
All images were shot in high-quality JPEG mode. Slight color and contrast changes and some dodging and burning done in Photoshop.

Swine flu: Two more die in Malaysia; toll touches 64
Kuala Lumpur: Two more persons died of swine flu in Malaysia taking the total number of people who have succumbed to H1N1 virus to 64, with a UN health agency estimating that at least 80,000 people may have been infected in this Southeast Asian country.
A seven-year-old boy and a 74-year-old woman were the latest victims, Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai said today adding that 384 new cases have been reported taking the total number of infected cases to 4,225.
Yesterday, three swine flu deaths were reported out of which two occurred due to delay in administering the patients with viral treatment, Liow said.
The Government will use its Price Control Act to control prices of face masks to curb profiteering during the influenza H1N1 pandemic, Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has said.
The Health Minister also warned that the persons infected with swine flu could be fined up to 10,000 ringgit (Rs 130,000) or jailed up to two years if they did not isolate themselves.
Liow said that medical aid was straining as the number of infected H1N1 cases increased with hospitals across Malaysia witnessing triple number of patients as compared before the outbreak. Waiting time at some hospitals is up to four hours. Liow said doctors and healthcare staff were working around the clock to clear queues, however he added that 20 percent of the population could be infected within a year.
Some 0.1 to 0.4 percent of the population would die as a result of H1N1, he said adding, "However, most deaths will be due to complications of underlying diseases in people with chronic cardiovascular, pulmonary, diabetes and renal
"The situation is serious. We have reached a stage where the virus cannot be stopped. It is spreading rapidly and many Malaysians are infected. It is now in the hands of people to stop the spread," the minister said.
The Ministry has also drawn up a contingency plan for the second wave of the pandemic.
Liow said the Ministry would put in place all the contingency plans as stipulated in the National Influenza Pandemic Preparedness Plan and be prepared for a worst-case scenario.
Meanwhile, the WHO said about 80,000 Malaysians who may have been infected with influenza A (H1N1) was based on the number of confirmed cases reported by the Health Ministry since May.

The invention is directed to assembling products.
Today's manufacturing schemes for consumer products must run very efficiently and at high speed in order to economically enable the manufacturer to provide products to the market at competitive prices. This is particularly true for consumer goods such as packaged foods, cleaning products, and paper goods.
Operating at typical speeds, these manufacturing schemes can produce and package hundreds of items per minute. These individual product packages must then be configured in the packaging section of the manufacturing scheme into arrangements for desirable assortment as well as efficient and economical shipping to the marketplace. These shipping containers vary from sealed, corrugated cartons holding a pre-determined number of individual packages to corrugated trays with poly wrapping to stretch-wrapped, multi-layer bundles designed to be placed on pallets.
Because of the need for high-speed operations, the typical limitation of an automated packaging operation is that it is designed to produce a very limited number of packaging arrangements. In order for a manufacturing line to have the flexibility to arrange product packages in multiple shipping arrangements, several, separate packing operations are required and must all be connected to the manufacturing line for efficient operations. A change in product package grouping (e.g. 12 bottles per carton to 4 bottles per carton) often requires a complicated, timely mechanical change to the packaging section which necessitates the manufacturing operation being stopped.
This manufacturing requirement for inflexible package groupings runs contrary to the increasing demands for product grouping flexibility from the marketplace. For instance, club stores often require products to be bundled into packets of two or more individual product packages. Likewise, special sales promotions may require that two similar or dissimilar products be bundled and shipped together for a limited period of time.
Currently, these special packing requirements are satisfied by costly, manual operations. As such, there is a need for an automated, highly-flexible packing operation which can quickly assemble special packing arrangements without disrupting ongoing manufacturing operations.
The present invention attempts to address these and other needs by providing, in one aspect of the invention, a method of assembling a packaged bundle of at least two products comprising the steps: diverting a first group of products from a manufacturing line to a diverted product site; loading the diverted first group of products from the diverted product area to a first shelf of a multi-shelved product transporter; diverting a second group of products from the manufacturing line to the diverted product area; adjusting the height of a second shelf of the multi-shelved product transporter for loading; loading the diverted second group of products from the diverted product area to the second shelf of the multi-shelved product transporter; transporting the multi-shelved product transporter loaded with products to a downstream packaging site; adjusting the height of the first shelf of the multi-shelved product transporter for product unloading; unloading the first group of products from the first shelf of the multi-shelved product transporter to the downstream packaging area; adjusting the height of the second shelf of the multi-shelved product transporter for product unloading; unloading the second group of products from the second shelf of the multi-shelved product transporter to the downstream packaging area; and packaging a packaged bundle of at least two products from the unloaded products.
Another aspect of the invention provides for a method of assembling a packaged bundle of at least a first product and a second product comprising the steps: diverting a first product from a first manufacturing line to a first diverted product site; grouping products of the diverted first product into at least a first group of first products and a second group of first products; loading the diverted first group of first products from the first diverted product site to a first shelf of a first multi-shelved product transporter; loading the diverted second group of first products from the first diverted product site to a second shelf of a first multi-shelved product transporter; diverting a second product from a second manufacturing line to a second diverted product site; grouping products of the diverted second products into a least a first group of second products and a second group of second products; loading the diverted first group of second products from the second diverted product site to a first shelf of a second multi-shelved product transporter; loading the diverted second group of second products from the second diverted product site to a second shelf of a second multi-shelved product transporter; transporting the first multi-shelved product transporter loaded with first products and the second multi-shelved product transporter loaded with second products to a downstream packaging area; unloading the first products from the first multi-shelved product transporter and the second products from the second multi-shelved product transporter to the downstream packaging site; and packaging the packaged bundle of at least two products from the unloaded products, wherein at least one product of the two products is a first product and at least another product of the two products is a second product.
To meet this need for special packaging arrangements, the present invention seeks to inter alia create a packaging manufacturing operation that can be highly automated and can be quickly programmed to assemble special packing arrangements (e.g., so called "bundle packs.") The present invention seeks to accomplish this goal, preferably without much disruption to current manufacturing operations.
Product Diversion
A first aspect of the invention provides diverting product from main manufacturing lines. Products may be diverted from one or more manufacturing lines by those techniques known in the manufacturing arts. Product diversion, for example, may be accomplished by any number of well-known electromechanical or mechanical diverter schemes. The diverter may include a mechanism (either electrical or mechanical) to control the number of products being diverted versus those remaining on the main manufacturing line (e.g. 10% of total products made will be diverted).
These manufacturing lines may manufacture the same or different products. For example, a first manufacturing line may be dedicated to manufacturing a first product. A second manufacturing line may be dedicated to a second product, a third line to a third product, etc.
In turn, the diverted products may be delivered to a diverted product site by known techniques such as by conveyor or gravity feed.
Loading Product to Multi-Shelved Product Transporter
Another aspect of the invention provides for loading product to a multi-shelved product transporter. Products diverted from the manufacturing line arrive at the diverted product site. The diverted product site may receive products from one dedicated manufacturing line. Alternatively the diverted product site receives products from two or more manufacturing lines. A first manufacturing line manufactures a first product. A second manufacturing line manufactures a second product. Alternatively each manufacturing line (of a plurality of manufacturing lines) has a dedicated diverted product site. Products at the diverted product site are loaded onto a multi-shelved product transporter. Diverted products may be divided into groups to facilitate loading on to the shelves of the multi-shelved product transporter. For example, a single group of products may be dedicated to a single shelf of the multi-shelved product transporter. A single group of products can be further separated into a plurality of "sub-groups" wherein the sub-groups are loaded onto the single shelf in a series of steps.
Still referring to
The first spanning gate 34, when in a substantially horizontal position, aligns products in a single file. The substantially horizontal position of the gate 34 also prevents the gate 34 from obstructing the transporter from being elevated or lowered by the lift. The spanning gate 34 is lowered to a substantially non-horizontal position to span the product loading area 32 to the shelf of the transporter. The second spanning gate 45 is in the substantially non-horizontal position to prevent obstruction of the transporter while being elevated or lowered by the lift. Products are loaded from the diverted product area 32 across the spanning gate 34 to the shelf. In
Still referring to
Once the first spanning gate 34 is raised and the second shelf is positioned for loading, the second group of products (or the first sub-group of the second group of products) align in the product loading area to repeat the process for product loading on the transporter. The process can be repeated with third, fourth, etc. groups of products until the respective third, fourth, etc. shelves of the transporter are loaded with product. The process is completed once the multi-shelved product transported is loaded with products and is ready to transport the products. The loaded transporter is dismounted from the lift and then is ready to transport the products to the downstream packaging area. A second multi-product transporter can thereafter be mounted on the lift to repeat the process of product loading. Having two or more multi-shelved product transporters maximizes the efficiency in the operation (e.g., since a first transporter may be loading product while a second is unloading product).
Transporting the Transporter
Once the multi-shelved product transporter is loaded with product, that transporter is transported to a downstream packaging site. In one embodiment, the transporter may comprise wheels (not shown) to enable a worker to transport the transporter from one site of the manufacturing facility to another site. Of course robots, automated guide vehicles, pallet jacks, forklifts, etc. as well as other methods may be used for transporting the transporter.
Unloading Product to Downstream Packaging Site
Still referring to
Once the products are unloaded from the multi-shelved product transporter, the transporter may be returned to the diverted product site to repeat the process (i.e., to once again be loaded with diverted products).
Packaged Bundles of Product
Once product is unloaded from the multi-shelved product transporter, products can be packaged in a bundle of at least two products. The term "packaged bundles" is used broadly to include a broad range of packaged product combinations—for retail sale and/or shipping.
For example, robots and other automation devices are positioned to take the products and arrange them into the desired configurations. For instance, the desired arrangement may be two bottles of product bundled together with heat shrink film. This bundle may require that one bottle faces "out" (front label facing out so the consumer can read it) and one bottle facing "in" (so that the back label with ingredients or nutritional information can be read by the consumer). An alternate configuration may require that the two bottles have a label sleeve placed over them or around them to present the package graphics but alternate UPC code. The robot can configure the bottles into pairs with appropriate facings and place the pair on a conveyor where they are oriented in a shrink wrap sleeve. The products are then run through a heat tunnel to shrink the film and bind the products together. Yet another alternative of products arrangement could be a bottle and a box.
As an additional step, the bundled product may require a separate label (such as a UPC label or retailer specific labeling) to meet the retailer's merchandising requirements. This label can be automatically attached to the bundle once the shrink wrap cools.
A similar arrangement could be established for dissimilar products. Dissimilar products could also be automatically handled using a second, third, etc, unloading device mentioned above. The robots would again orient the products into groupings and the groupings are bundled together by whatever means desired (heat shrink, adhesive, bands, etc.) Leaflets and other promotional literature can be introduced automatically or manually as well.
Another variation for this operation could be the assembly of mixed products for display on trays. The products are collated by the robots and prepared for such assembly
Case/Tray Packing
Once the products have been oriented in the desired bundles, they can be conveyed to a case/tray packing area. In this area, the shipping containers are assembled (in the case of cartons) and filled with bundled products. Robots are in position and programmed to grab the bundles and place them in cartons or on pallets or display trays. As the cartons are filled, they are sealed and conveyed to the pallet loader for pallet load construction and stretch wrapping.
In the case of display tray packing, the trays are filled, one level at a time, and new trays are introduced to the "stack" until a unit load is completed. This operation takes place on a pallet so the "stack" and the pallet are integral. Again, robots are utilized to arrange the product on the display trays and to introduce new trays to the "stack." Once the products are packed and palleted, the pallets are moved to the warehouse for transportation to the market.
Standard manufacturing logistical software (such as those available from SAP, and Oracle) can be used to coordinate the aforementioned steps.
The dimensions and values disclosed herein are not to be understood as being strictly limited to the exact numerical values recited. Instead, unless otherwise specified, each such dimension is intended to mean both the recited value and a functionally equivalent range surrounding that value. For example, a dimension disclosed as "40 mm" is intended to mean "about 40 mm".
