Abstract
The patent’s assignee for patent number 11911993 is Ime Automation LLC (La Verki n, Utah, United States). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Various items, such as consumer products, are packaged in boxes that can range from very small to very large. In some cases, small items a re produced or otherwise distributed with large volume. Accordingly, the packagi ng used to present or transport the small items may also be produced or distribu ted with large volume. The packaging is commonly mass-produced in an unfolded co nfiguration that cannot be used to present or transport the small items. Thus, e ach individual package may need to be folded or otherwise prepared for the small item prior to use. Folding each individual package can be difficult, time-consu ming, and otherwise technically challenging.”
