This system used the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to detect the RFID tags on egg package containers and recorded the product information, such as product type, packaging time, and its corresponding setting weight. An automated weighing module checked on the loading weight and sent the command to the palletizing robot to move the package containers. This robot with dual-functional gripper jaw, for cardboard cases or plastic crates, palletized the containers on corresponding pallets based on the types of product and expected stacking styles. This system replaced 60% of human power for palletizing containers, reduced the risk of occupational injury, and saved 25% of operation time in egg processing factory.
