Zeon AI Conveyor

Build an AI-Powered Smart Conveyor.

Students assemble a 12-inch industrial conveyor system equipped with a smart camera that identifies objects using AI and automatically decides whether to stop or pass them.

This comprehensive workshop transforms students from passive technology users into Industrial Architects. By building and programming the ZEON Smart Conveyor, students explore the intersection of mechanical engineering, artificial intelligence, and global sustainability.
