Modelling and Simulation of a Conveyor Belt System for Optimal Productivity

Abstract

The productivity level in an advanced manufacturing environment can be improved by proper design of mechanism at the initial stage in the manufacturing system. The aim of this paper is to model and simulate the design parameters of a conveyor system that transport parts from one production stage to another. The approach of model-based design and simulation was used to achieve optimal efficiency of conveyor belt during its operation. Working parameters that can determine the measurable performance of conveyors were studied and presented in a classical model. Outcome from the analysis were simulated using MATLAB software. Simulation results shows that the design parameters used, gave an optimal operating speed at a reduced time of operation.

Implementación de la simulación para la mejora de los procesos productivos

“…Igualmente, se ha logrado predecir de manera adecuada las condiciones óptimas de operación en relación al ajuste de la velocidad y el tiempo, mediante la simulación de un sistema de fabricación, partiendo el diseño de un modelo clásico donde se considera algunos parámetros de proceso, con el propósito de estudiar el efecto de variar la www.concienciadigital.org velocidad nominal de un motor eléctrico en un rango por encima y debajo de dicha velocidad, de esta manera de los resultados obtenidos en la simulación se obtuvo los valores adecuado en los parámetros de diseño óptimos (Salawu et al, 2020).…”

Studying of the Amount of Energy Required to Operate the Nursery Tray Planting Machine

“…Table (4) shows the effect of the type of seeds on the efficiency of the nozzles installed in the seedcatching dish, and their efficiency in pulling single seeds for each nozzle, or double seeds may be pulled for one nozzle or multiple seeds, or the collecting nozzle may not pull any seed, according to each type of seed.…”

“…The total power requirements IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1262/9/092008 2 (kw) of the model designed by [3] included calculating the power of the electric motor of the seeding machine as well as the power of the air suction pump. Focus [4] on choosing the optimal power for the motors that rotate the conveyor belts, so that they bear the weight and the design does not fail when running. The practical performance characteristics that have been measured for DC electric motors have lower values than the performance characteristics when simulated, and this is due to the mechanical and electrical conditions surrounding the operation of the motor, as well as the error rate in the measuring devices, because the conditions are ideal using simulation [5].…”
