Tricky application! [PickMaster 3]

PickMaster
1

The application is for a pharmacy business company. So there is a huge reliability necessary.
We have an application with two robots. The positions will be generated by an external sensor (3D scanner). Right in front of the robots there should a barcode scanner at each robot.
So the demand is:
The 3D scanner will be used as external sensor to be the trigger.
Now if pickmaster decides that robot 1 should pick an item, the barcode must be scanned and the robot should only pick the item whether the scan was ok.

Mabey some one has an solution for this problem!!!

Hi,
Made a demo for a sorting application recently with a similar set-up. However, in our case we had a barcode reader just in front of a position sensor. A user hook read data from barcode reader and set item type accordingly. Pretty straight forward and reliable solution.

If you (as I understand that you do according to your description) need to have the trigger upstream and barcode readers downstream, then I guess you could set I/O signals based on the read barcode and check result from Rapid.
