Packages transportation

Stopping Packages

For standard and large packages, they must be transported at least as far as the IR sensor. It is entirely possible to use the IR sensor both to detect packages brought to the end stopper for a pick-up at that level, or to stop them right at the sensor for a pick-up there, potentially saving time.

However, this second option is quite risky, as the package will not necessarily stop at the exact same position (to the millimeter) throughout the cycles.

Furthermore, careful placement ensures that the package rests perfectly against the end stopper, offering the robot an identical and reliable grip every cycle. Use this at your own risk.

In the event of poor placement requiring human intervention, a 5-second penalty is given.

Conveyor Speed Management

The conveyor speed can be defined by the group itself. Be careful with high speeds, however, as detection failures may become more frequent. This also depends on the print quality of the package colors, camera settings, and the size of the colored stickers used.
