Box size classifier using ladder programming and Factory.io for simulation
Explore the docs »
The purpose of this project is to implement a system that can classify the type of each box based on its height and redirect it with the pallet to a final point. As a final step of the process the system is able to reallocate up to four boxes into one pallet with a help of 3-Axis gripper arm. (video) All the project simulation was tested on FactoryIO (software for warehouse simulation)(simulation.factoryio) but all the instructions for it were projected in ladder programming using Cx-Programmer(ladder_main). The communication between Cx-programmer and FactoryIO is possible due to a Communication Bridge algorithm(commun_bridge) made in Visual Studio (C#). The simulation also has a GUI (user interface) built in Cx-Designer(user_interface) for the user to control all the simulation process.
Tested with Super slowmo speed due to communication issues from the bridge
Built With FactoryIO, Cx-One (Cx-programmer, Cx-designer, Cx-server) and Visual studio (or any other C# comatible IDE)
