“…Figure 3 shows that gradients of 20 • can be implemented. The concept in [13] is based on [12,15], in which the EMS trolley moves on either steel wire ropes or round profiles. Turnout functionality is achieved through laterally and linearly extendable actuators, which steer the trolley in the corresponding direction of movement.…”

With the emergence of Industry 4.0 in intralogistics, the need for flexible material handling solutions is increasing. While conventional conveyor systems are often too inflexible to meet changing requirements. Automated guided vehicles offer an answer, additional solutions are required for companies relying on already busy and crowded shop floors. This paper presents a concept for a periphery-free electrified monorail system (PEMS) that enables flexible material transport with minimal floor requirements. The PEMS is based on classic electrified monorail technology, and requires no additional peripheral devices within the rail system. Installation and maintenance costs are kept to a minimum through simplified branching elements and a battery-powered energy supply for the vehicles. The modular design of the rail elements further allows transport on standardized Euro-pallets. Moreover, a taxonomy for evaluating the passivity of branching elements of electrified monorail systems is introduced. The functionality of the PEMS was validated by conducting real experiments using a prototype, The results show that the PEMS provides high flexibility in terms of layout design and usage, allowing for fast adaption to the changing requirements of intralogistics.

“…In this case, the lightest conveyor seems to be the overhead rope. An example of the calculation of such a rope can be found, for example, in [6]. The operation of the conveyors themselves and thus the loading and unloading of loads can be realized either by human operators or automatically.…”

Modern Design of Carrier for Overhead Conveyor

Modern industry should apply modern design in the construction of production facilities. This is typically the case with belt production, where parts are moved towards the worker, or when moving parts from the factory to the warehouse and shipping area. There is a relatively high energy consumption associated with moving these parts. The size of the consumption is mainly determined not only by the size of the transported components and the transport technology, but also by the design of the hoppers used for transport. One way to reduce material handling costs is to make the equipment used for moving parts more efficient. A more efficient carrier should, above all, be lighter. Topological optimization can serve very well for this weight reduction. Of course, the reduction in weight not only has an effect on lower power consumption, but also on the wear of other components. Hence, later in this article, we try to quantify these impacts and assess how much benefit the use of a modern designed carrier can bring. It is also important to consider the cost of producing new carriers versus modifying existing ones. The paper describes the application of the modern designed carrier and compares it with the existing carriers as well as modified existing carriers.

“…Conveying equipment terdiri dari beberapa macam peralatan pemindah, dimana dalam pemilihan conveyor atau peralatan pemindah lainnya dipengaruhi oleh jenis material yang akan diangkut, kapasitas yang dibutuhkan dalam waktu tertentu, arah dan panjang pemindahan, sehingga selain faktor engineering, faktor nilai ekonomis juga perlu diperhatikan dalam pemilihan peralatan pemindah material [8]. Sistem conveyor overhead klasik biasanya terdiri dari sistem transportasi overhead yang terikat ke rel dengan kendaraan yang dapat dikontrol secara individual, keseluruhannya bersatu sebagai sistem aliran material yang kompleks [9]. Pada dasarnya mechanical conveyor merupakan alat untuk mengangkut beban secara terus menerus atau continue, baik berupa curah (bulk) maupun bentuk satuan (unit) [10].…”

Terdapat dua proses pemindahan barang dalam peternakan ayam broiler yang masih menggunakan metode konvensional, yaitu pada proses pengangkutan sekam dan penjarangan (pemanenan) ayam broiler. Pada usaha beternak ayam broiler, diperlukan efisiensi waktu dan tenaga dengan tidak mengurangi kualitas ayam broiler yang dihasilkan. Salah satu usaha efisiensi adalah mengurangi ongkos pemindahan barang dalam pada kandang closed house adalah dengan membuat overhead conveyor. Overhead conveyor dirancang untuk mengurangi waktu persiapan kandang ayam broiler diisi DOC (day old chicken) maupun saat panen. Analisa pembebanan atas desain railing overhead conveyor dilakukan untuk mengetahui faktor keamanan (safety factor). Analisa pembebanan dilakukan melalui pendekatan dua model yaitu railing lurus 1 m dan railing belok dengan kurvatur 0,6 m. Berdasarkan hasil analisa pembebanan, nilai faktor keamanan pada railing overhead conveyor lurus 1 m sebesar 2,3; sedangkan railing belok dengan kurvatur 0,6 m sebesar 2,45. Berdasarkan nilai tersebut, maka desain dinyatakan aman untuk dibuat prototipe.
