Stop a palletizing robot when people get too close

Open-sided palletizing cells rely on operator discipline: the pallet zone and the operator side stay open for pallet changes and line support, people regularly stand within the robot's reach, and there is no record of how often or where they enter its envelope. Light curtains and area scanners either stop the cell too often during pallet changes or leave gaps around the pallet and the conveyor.
