MAPPING OF A REPLACEMENT PARTS STORAGE CONTAINER

A system includes a factory interface, a load port, and a controller. The controller detects when a container is received at the load port, where the container stores one or more parts. The controller directs a detection system, via one or more robot arms, to move according to one or more mapping patterns to obtain a mapping of the container, indicating regions and positions of detected parts. This mapping is recorded in a storage medium. Based on the mapping, the controller identifies any misalignment or misorientation of detected parts within the container. If such an issue is detected, the controller transmits an error message to a system controller associated with the manufacturing system, specifying the misalignment or misorientation of the affected part.
