Programming a pick-and-place system involves creating a sequence of instructions for a robot or actuator to identify, pick up, move, and accurately place an object at a designated location.

This typically includes defining the coordinates for pick and place positions, setting up sensors for object detection, and programming motion paths using a PLC or robotic controller. The logic may also include timing, safety checks, and error handling to ensure precise and repeatable operation. Efficient programming ensures smooth, high-speed handling with minimal downtime or misplacement.
