Based on the design shown, large version might have applications at places like USPS, FedEx, UPS, and DHL for multi-path conveyor assembly merge and split locations. Industrial food prep like shown in the Dorner example below for flat objects like pizzas, and obviously companies like Amazon and Walmart might be a market.<p>Do per axis spins underneath packages to move them onto the correct conveyors nearby. At least in some configurations, it would be easier than the variations shown from these types of vendors for merge conveyors, and fairly easily handle split conveyors.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dornerconveyors.com&#x2F;solutions&#x2F;merge-diverting-and-sorting-conveyors" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dornerconveyors.com&#x2F;solutions&#x2F;merge-diverting-an...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bastiansolutions.com&#x2F;solutions&#x2F;technology&#x2F;sortation&#x2F;merges-combiners&#x2F;?srsltid=AfmBOoqOcosvje-AdqtDC28-0huChDe9EQsiTMt-dfX1PrBv2BaM0oJA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bastiansolutions.com&#x2F;solutions&#x2F;technology&#x2F;sortat...</a>
