# Device and method for loading or unloading a sheet metal processing machine or a wood working machine

## Abstract

A device for loading or unloading sheet metal processing or wood working machine, including: sensor interface that receives information on workpieces in a loading area; representation unit for creating representation of workpieces and loading area, based on sensor signal; user interface for providing representation to machine operator and for receiving user input from machine operator including information on position of workpieces in representation; evaluation unit for determining revised representation of workpieces and loading area, based on sensor signal and user input, interface being designed for providing revised representation to machine operator and for receiving further user input including information on workpiece loading operation carried out; planning unit for determining control instructions enabling loading robot to execute loading operation being carried out based on signal and on further user input; and control interface for activating and controlling loading robot to execute loading operation based on control instructions.
