The passive voice is often used in describing processes, i.e. how a machine works. It is important for technical employees.
In an active sentence we talk about the subject of a sentence:
i.e. The warehouse worker (subject) loaded (verb) the pallet (object) into the truck.
In a passive sentence we talk about the object:
i.e. The pallet (object) was loaded (verb) into the truck by the warehouse worker (subject).
Here the speaker is more interested in the pallet, rather than who loaded it.
“ was loaded ” is what we call the passive voice.

The pallets are moved along the conveyor.
The pallets are not loaded manually.

The pallet is being moved along the conveyor.
