Converyor belt

Hybrid model of a conveyor belt. Variables - X1 ... Xn define a discrete partition of the conveyor belt length. The motion between slots Xi , Xi+1 is modeled by a continuous time variable, used to reconstruct the precise position of baggages (represented in the lower part of the cartoon). The value of a variable is the baggage ID.

A simulation of the series interconnection of two conveyor belts. Note that the two conveyor belts have different slot length. An interface module preserves the consistency of physical motion and data between different conveyor belts. The middle part of the cartoon represents the slot update of the baggage ID.

Simulation of a check-in conveyor belts system. The load/unload operation from the three separated lines to the collector is organized by a scheduling algorithm based on photodetectors informations.

The cartoons have been realized by M. Gerosi during his master thesis. Collaboration with Automate s.r.l.
