Robot T200
(HW EOL, SW MAINTAINED) Industrial-grade fixed terminal - Provides a reliable link between your packhouse floor and IT software
The flagship Robot T200 is a rugged industrial terminal designed for the demands of fruit packing house environments. With over 1000+ units deployed across Sundays River Citrus Company (SRCC) — Southern Africa's largest citrus packer — the T200 has proven its reliability and effectiveness in large-scale operations spanning more than a decade.
Key features
Industrial-grade ruggedized construction for harsh packhouse environments
Active Power over Ethernet (POE) for simplified installation
Functional LCD screen for operator messages
TCP/IP networking with comprehensive connectivity options
HTTP JSON-based communication protocol
Various keypad options specific to an application
Simple intuitive user interface
Key port for user indentification and station presence logging
Simple Third-part HTTP transaction integration
Applications
Dynamic labelling — accurate carton labelling without wasting expensive labels
Packer terminal — interact with you packers on the packhouse floor
Time & attendance — keep track of your workforce
Packhouse-grade design
The T200 series are small LAN based terminals designed to simplify human interfaction with IT backend server software. Transactions are HTTP based JSON messages with payloads describing each action. Multiple application profiles are supported ready to perform a variety of tasks, like packing terminals, dynamic labelling. The T200 is engineered from the ground up for production environments. Ruggedised mechanicals, an operator-grade display, and POE-friendly networking mean a single Ethernet run delivers both power and data — keeping installations clean and reducing the cabinet footprint.
Central Management
Our Robot SCADA & IOT Server software provides a central management portal to setup your fleet of robots. Each robot’s functionality is configured providing an application profile and transaction URL either to the Robot server or to Third-Party software. IT Managers can quickly change parameters on the robot and use our propriertary Remote-Terminal-Protocol to have a view of the remote station’s screen, including keypad and peripheral interaction.
Communication & connectivity
- Modern integration — JSON-based messages over HTTP plugs into packhouse ERPs, traceability systems, and the Robot SCADA & IOT Server out of the box.
- Legacy support — Support for the older TCP/IP JMT protocol.
- Integrated Power for Barcode Scanners — bin and carton tracking, label printing, and real-time monitoring participate in the same data fabric as the rest of the facility.
Real-world applications
- Carton weighing and labelling — precision capture at the line with direct integration to scale heads and label printers.
- Production line monitoring — automated quality checkpoints, operator prompts, and real-time throughput dashboards.
Proven performance
The T200 is the workhorse of the Robot range. Over 1000+ units are in continuous production at SRCC — Southern Africa’s largest citrus packer — across multiple packhouses, integrated end-to-end with their labelling and traceability systems.
Simple Operations
Operators quickly understand how to operate the terminals. This simplifies training due to a dedicated screen flow and intuitive on screen messages. Keypad layouts and number of buttons are chosen for specific applications to minimize user errors. In some applications the buttons represent the number of fruit specifications and other the number of labels to be printed. Limiting user options with buttons reduce the number of incorrect selections, especially when operations run at full pace.
Our key port receives a special USB stick that identifies operators at a station. While plugged-in software can also monitor packer performance and attendance. This remove the need for separate time and attendance verification.
Beyond QC
When used at a packing station the user is presented with fruit specification options depending on the drop of the fruit-sizer. Sizers and integrated labelling software can present the packer with correct the label for the fruit to be packed. In this case the packer is put in direct contact with the type of fruit that is sorted as well as the classification. While the packer is identified and requesting a carton label, a transaction is generated which stores the fruit that was packed including the user and timestamp. All this information enable the calculation of packer incentives as well as stock that is generated.
