'Cordial' robots hit savings sweet spot (sidebar)

Did you know that...?

• The robots do not fill in a preset pattern, they fill the tray’s empty compartments randomly.

• If the product conveyor were to stop, one robot arm would fill the entire tray.

• The red light seen shining on the cordials in images isn’t the vision system’s beam, it only provides a visual confirmation that the system is on. The infrared beam scans up invisibly from beneath the conveyor and is read by a sensor array in a housing directly over the conveyor.
