Abstract
With the advancement of Industry 4.0, the integration of automation systems and the Internet of Things (IoT) into industrial processes has seen significant progress. This paper presents the technical design and implementation of a color-based object sorting system using a Siemens Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) integrated into an IoT-enabled inventory management platform. The system utilizes photoelectric sensors for color detection, with control logic executed by the Siemens PLC. Key system components include power supplies, actuators, Ethernet switches, connectors, and an LCD display for real-time user interaction and system monitoring. By integrating these elements, this research demonstrates a novel methodology for automating color-based sorting while enabling real-time data acquisition for inventory management. The architecture is optimized for industrial applications, contributing to enhanced automation efficiency and operational agility

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
