HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE FOR A ROBOTIC CONTAINERIZATION SYSTEM

摘要

A human-machine interface ("HMI") for a robotic containerization system.The interface includes a graphical representation of a work cell chat has aplurality ofvirtual bays. Each virtual bay represents an actual bay that is configured toaccept atleast one type of container. Each virtual bay includes graphical indicia as towhethera container is present in the bay, the destination of the container, and thestatus of thecontainer, such as whether the container is empty, partially full, or full.The graphicalrepresentation also includes an operation bar depicting information regardingtheoperating state of the robotic system, the fault status of the robotic system,and themost recent sort scheme far the robotic system. The HMI also provides aninterfacefor controlling various aspects of the robotic system and for generatingreportsreflecting the activity of the robotic system.
