An automated pallet inspection and repair apparatus comprises an inspection station and a repair station. The inspection station comprises a laser that illuminates a pallet, a camera that collects the reflected light and a computer system. The computer system analyses the output of the camera and acquires the pallet's geometry and topography. The design of the pallet is determined by the computer software. A decision to repair the pallet is made by comparing acquired pallet data against the design criteria. If the pallet needs repair, a recipe of repair steps is constructed by inspecting each of the pallet's elements. The recipe is transmitted to the automated repair station.

La présente invention a trait à un appareil d'inspection et de réparation automatisées de palettes comportant un poste d'inspection et un poste de réparation. Le poste d'inspection comporte un laser qui éclaire une palette, une caméra qui recueille la lumière réfléchie et un système informatique. Le système informatique assure l'analyse de la sortie de la caméra et l'acquisition de la géométrie et la topographie de la palette. Le modèle de la palette est déterminée par le logiciel informatique. Une décision concernant la réparation de la palette est prise en comparant les données de palettes acquises et les critères du modèle. Si la palette nécessite une réparation, une liste d'étapes de réparation est établie par l'inspection de chacun des éléments de la palette. La liste est transmise au poste de réparation automatisée.
