Tech/Engineering - Automation & Robotics / conveyor belt
Dutch term or phrase: oplegger
In deze tekst wordt met oplegger geen semi-trailer bedoeld, maar de persoon die het product (verpakt vlees) op de lopende band legt.

Aangezien het om software-strings gaat, heb ik een korte en bondige vertaling nodig, een omschrijving zou qua ruimte niet passen.

loader / packer / stacker
Explanation:
If they're loading products onto a conveyor I guess they would be "loaders", but packers / stackers might also work.

agree  Jack den Haan: I'd opt for loader, perhaps even belt loader (although belt loaders are usually machines!).
