An arm configured to be coupled to a side rail of a conveyor system is disclosed. The arm comprising an end effector configured to pick and place one or more objects to or from the conveyor system. Further, the arm is configured to receive a jam signal from a jam detector of the conveyor system. Further, the jam detector is configured to detect a jam of the one or more objects on the conveyor system and generate the jam signal corresponding to the detection of the jam.
