Pw 17900 S Pw 0101 042

The RVS visualizes bags in 3D, assessing their length, width and depth. Customized end-of-arm tooling lets the robot find and pick up an empty bag, apply it to the filler, identify the pallet on which it belongs and determine the current height of layers on that pallet before placing the new bag.
