# Picking and Placing MUs

Components for handling, gripping, and manipulating MUs (Movable Units) in automation systems.

## Available Components

### Gripping Systems

* [**Grip**](/components-and-scripts/picking-and-placing-mus/grip.md) - Primary component for individual grip points (recommended for most use cases)
* [**Gripper**](/components-and-scripts/picking-and-placing-mus/gripper.md) - Advanced gripper system for complex multi-point gripping

### Positioning and Fixturing

* [**Fixer**](/components-and-scripts/picking-and-placing-mus/fixer.md) - Primary component for temporarily fixing MUs in positions (recommended for most use cases)
* [**Pattern**](/components-and-scripts/picking-and-placing-mus/pattern.md) - Defines positioning patterns for organized placement of multiple MUs

## Key Features

* **Physics Integration**: Realistic gripping with collision detection and weight handling
* **PLC Integration**: Full integration with PLCInputBool/PLCOutputBool signals for industrial control
* **Sensor Integration**: Works with sensors for grip confirmation and positioning feedback
* **Logic Integration**: Seamless connection with Logic Steps and automation sequences
