Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for light curtain contour detection failure compensation. In one embodiment, an example carrier may include a first base portion, a second base portion, and a platform disposed between the first base portion and the second base portion, where the platform is configured to support a first rollable cart and a second rollable cart. Some embodiments include a frame and a first light curtain assembly coupled to the frame on a first side of the carrier. The shuttle may include a first reflective component removably coupled to the first base portion on the first side of the carrier, and a second reflective component removably coupled to the second base portion on the first side of the carrier, where the first reflective component and the second reflective component are configured to reflect light emitted by the light curtain assembly.
