Discarded materials, such as aluminum cans and plastic bottles, are transported via conveyor belt beneath the vision system. The system automatically identifies the material type and spatial coordinates, transmitting this data to the robot. As the items enter the picking zone, the robot executes high-speed retrieval based on predefined specifications and sorts them into the corresponding collection bins according to sorting standards.

The system utilizes a cobot configured with dedicated depalletizing software for automated unloading. The robot’s end-effector is equipped with vacuum cups featuring check valves to ensure secure product handling. During the transfer to the conveyor, the robot manages the operational cycle time while performing barcode scanning. Once scanning is complete, the robot executes the final re-palletizing operation
