This demonstration illustrates the cooperation between an operator and a cobot through a smart, sensitive conveyor that provides a flexible interface between the operator and the cobot. The goal is to ensure product traceability and meet the challenge of following the product throughout its manufacturing process. If the flow of production between two machines stops, the products accumulate in a temporary mini-stock with the risk of losing the order of products when production starts up again. The intelligent sensor belt will be able to autonomously detect the products positioned on it, memorise their order of arrival and inform the cobot to allow their subsequent unloading in their order of arrival.
