The following process is the way in which a painting cell works:
1) The warehouse takes the raw material or the working material and it is placed over the Conveyor belt.
2) The Conveyor belt transports the pallet towards the manufacturing station where raw material is modified.
3) Gantry robot takes in and takes out raw material into manufacturer machines.
4) When machines finish manufacturing the material it is taken by Gantry robot and put over Conveyor belt to continue with the process.
5) Conveyor belt drives the pallet towards painting cell. And the robot takes in, paints and takes the material out.
6) The pallet is driven by Conveyor belt again.
7) Vision system carries out quality control and verifies if the piece was painted correctly.
8) The pallet is taken by the warehouse arm and placed in a bay.
