An interactive control system for controlling the automatic packaging of products in a products, such as lens packages, in a product fabrication facility. The control system as a robot device for periodically transferring individual arrays of a first predetermined amount of discrete products from a first station to an intermediate conveyor where the individual arrays are conveyed to a second station. A controller for initiating a time stamp for each individual array transferred from the first station and determining elapsed time data for each individual array and for generating position status data indicating a good array or a bad array of defective products for each individual array as it is conveyed to the second station. The controller shifts the elapsed time data and positions status data for each individual array as it is conveyed on the intermediate conveyor for transfer to the second station.
