I want to detect whether plastic totes are correctly positioned at a transfer station. The sensor would be mounted above the station, and the tote may be black or blue. What should be validated before selecting TiM561-2050101 for this task?
Is TiM561 suitable for close-range tote presence detection?

A recorded empty-station scan and several loaded scans will show whether a stable geometric rule can separate the states.
