Abstract

The free market means that companies have to be very vigilant and react quickly to changes. Growing competition can pose a threat to a company’s operations, which is why companies must constantly make sure that products meet market expectations while maintaining appropriate functional and quality requirements at the right price. It is therefore very important to supervise production processes and improve them. The production capacity and economic effects of industrial enterprises depend to a large extent on the technology used, organization and management. In terms of means of production, broadly understood automation comes to the rescue, in which robotization is becoming more and more important. The article presents the results of research on the use of vision systems and manipulators in industry 4.0. A robotic system consisting of a robot, a vision system and a feeder was selected and tested to pick up delicate products and put them into appropriate containers. Adding the robot to the production line will allow, in addition to automatic packaging of products, to monitor the number of manufactured product packages per a given unit of work shift time on an ongoing basis. The robot program additionally allows you to view statistics about the takt.
