Packaging and labeling are essential processes in the production and distribution of products. Packaging involves enclosing and protecting items to ensure they remain safe from damage, contamination, or spoilage during storage and transport. It also improves the manageability of the product, making it easier to handle. Additionally, packaging enhances presentation, playing a key role in maintaining product quality and meeting safety standards.

Labeling complements this by providing crucial information such as barcodes, expiration dates and usage instructions. This ensures proper handling, traceability, and compliance with regulations. Together, packaging and labeling are critical for product identification, handling, safety, and customer satisfaction across industries.

Many industries rely heavily on packaging and labeling systems. In food and beverage, packaging keeps items fresh, while labels provide important details like nutritional information and expiration dates. In the pharmaceutical industry, precise labeling is crucial for dosage instructions and regulatory compliance. In electronics and e-commerce, packaging protects fragile items, and labels ensure accurate shipping and traceability. By integrating remote control and monitoring into packaging and labeling systems, industries can significantly enhance control over their production processes.

We will utilize three servo drives to construct the **Cartesian robot** responsible for capturing items and placing them into their respective boxes. To facilitate this process, the servo drives will be connected to the Opta PLC via Modbus RTU, using the RS-485 communication interface. The diagram below illustrates the connection setup for the servo drives.

The Arduino Cloud provides a reliable platform for real-time monitoring and control of the Packaging and Labeling System. This setup enables you to remotely view and interact with importants components of the process as it operates. The system tracks key metrics, such as the total count of packed and labeled items and provides live updates on statuses like running, warning, and stopped. Additionally, you can start and stop the system remotely, giving you complete control over operations from anywhere.
