Machine Tending Using Microlocation

The Milo system provides real-time millimeter-scale location data of incoming raw material (infeed) trays, so that they may be positioned next to an automated machine tending setup without being secured to the ground or other static components of the setup. This allows for material presentation by cart, mobile platform, or robot, without the need for precise docking to improve production time and reduce errors. The system also supports movement of the infeed tray throughout the task
