Smart Pick and Place as an Application of Digital Transformation in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)

Automation and robotics are known as one of the key technological enablers of industry 4.0. In the world of production, automation and robotics are leaders in digital transformation. While there is abundant research done on the nature of Pick and Place operations, with all manner of robotic specification, vision and sensor solutions, and machine learning, there is a need to further investigate how these elements can be accessed by Smal and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in an efficient, and effective way. The intention of this study is to find, through research and application of an automated system, solutions that will allow SMEs to digitally transform their processes.
