Abstract

Aspects relate to an apparatus (2) for simultaneously unloading and erecting a box (1). The apparatus (2) comprises a holder (200) configured to present a partially-assembled box (1) for unloading. The apparatus (2) comprises a picker (400) configured to engage with the box (1) and move away from the holder (200) to move the box (1) away from the holder (200). The apparatus (2) comprises a guide (500) extending in a path, relative to a path of the picker (400), configured to control an angle between panels of the box (1) during continued motion of the picker (400) to a placing location (600), to enable the picker (400) to deposit the box (1) at the placing location (600) in an erected condition.
