Digital-Twin-Driven Design and Financial Validation of a Collaborative Robotic Cell for Automated Chocolate-Bar Unwrapping in a Small-Scale Confectionery Plant

Manual unwrapping of chocolate bars in a family-owned confectionery in Monterrey, Mexico, is a labor-intensive process that produces inconsistent cycle times, high product damage, and elevated payroll costs. This paper presents the design, discrete-event and kinematic simulation,...
