ABSTRACT:
A system and process for sorting and opening packages particularly suitable for reclaiming reusable, returned goods. The system and process separates unusable returned goods from reusable returned goods, and gathers information and data on the goods which information can be of benefit to management. The system and process provides for optically reading the Universal Product Codes on the packages of reusable and unusable goods. Based on this UPC code identification, the packages are segregated into categories of reusable and unusable goods. The system and process further segregates the reusable goods into various different types of reusable goods based on predetermined criteria. The system and process even further provides for automatically opening the packages containing reusable goods, and separating the goods from the opened packages.
