Popis: This study presents a fully automated, real-time robotic stacking system based on deep learning-driven visual perception, designed to optimize classification and handling tasks on industrial production lines. The proposed system integrates a YOLOv5s-based object detection algorithm with an ABB IRB6640 robotic arm via a programmable logic controller and the Profinet communication protocol. Using a camera mounted above a conveyor belt and a Python-based interface, 13 different types of industrial bags were classified and sorted. The trained model achieved a high validation performance with an mAP@0.5 score of 0.99 and demonstrated 99.08% classification accuracy in initial field tests. Following environmental and mechanical optimizations, such as adjustments to lighting, camera angle, and cylinder alignment, the system reached 100% operational accuracy during real-world applications involving 9600 packages over five days. With an average cycle time of 10–11 s, the system supports a processing capacity of up to six items per minute, exhibiting robustness, adaptability, and real-time performance. This integration of computer vision, robotics, and industrial automation offers a scalable solution for future smart manufacturing applications.
