1. A tote stop assembly configured for a conveyor assembly, the tote stop assembly comprising:
a cam assembly comprising a cam element secured relative to an outer surface of a drive roller, the drive roller being configured to cause motor-driven rotation of the cam element about a central axis of the drive roller;
a tote stop component comprising a cam follower configured for physical engagement with the cam element such that the motor-driven rotation of the cam element causes a vertical movement of the tote stop component between a raised position and a lowered position; and
one or more position sensors configured to capture position data corresponding to a vertical position of the tote stop component;
wherein the tote stop assembly is configurable in an actuated configuration to selectively obstruct one or more objects from moving along a conveyor path based on an operation of the drive roller, the actuated configuration being defined at least in part by the tote stop component being arranged in the raised position.
