  (*
  Program Explanation:
  This TwinCAT 3 ST program implements a robotic palletizing system with vision-guided pick and place functionality.
  It uses separate function blocks for robot control, vision system, and gripper control. The main program
  implements a state machine that coordinates the palletizing process, including object detection, picking,
  and placing.
  
  Related TwinCAT 3 features and techniques to enhance this implementation:
  
  1. TwinCAT Vision: Utilize TwinCAT Vision for advanced image processing and object recognition,
     improving the accuracy and flexibility of the pick and place operation.
  
  2. TwinCAT Kinematic Transformation: Implement kinematic transformations to simplify the programming
     of complex robot movements, especially for articulated robot arms.
  
  3. TwinCAT HMI: Develop a user interface for monitoring the palletizing process, allowing operators
     to view system status, adjust parameters, and manually control the robot when necessary.
