I need help in a mock up of a nickel coating process

I have a mechanical process set up with an industrial robot but need help with the chemical terms of the description..I have 3 different parts coming from 3 different conveyor belts, these 3 different parts are going to 3 different bins,by the means of an industrial robot with an end effector(a gripper)...At the end these 3 parts that in the 3 three different bins will be collected again by the end effector and placed in a fourth and final bin which is located on a conveyor belt.At the end of the process to signal it has ended the end effector will touch a temporary sensor which will then turn on a light and at the same time will start the conveyor belts(all four)..The first three belts will bring 3 new parts..and the fourth one will send the bin sitting on it with the 3 parts from the just finished process to another process.How do I relate these "parts" and "bins" to metal coating or nickel coating..the parts could represent anything and so can the bins..

Sorry Andrew, I don't follow what this has to do with nickel plating or vice versa. I see robots taking parts off belts and putting them in bins, and later taking them out of bins and putting them in another bin. But I don't know what you want from me.
