Abstract
In considering the problem of saving spaces during the transportation of items from one station to another, for example, in warehouses, factories, hospitals, etc., an automatic transportation system (ATS) that could take advantage of the above ceiling spaces for the transportation of products is considered. Such a system guarantees that the activities occurring in the floor area will be maintained as usual. To achieve this requirement, the ceiling spaces of a building are used to construct an automatic multi-station multi-container (MSMC) transportation system. This system can transport items from one place to another in the whole system. This system is designed to utilize the spaces above the ceiling, and it has the advantage of saving floor space for transportation operations. This will increase the operational capability of the industries and also improve the productivity of the industry in which this system is implemented. The entire transportation system includes (1) the essential conveying system (which is a functional conveyor module with a specified number of containers); (2) the control block that can monitor and operate the system; and (3) the sensor block for detecting and identifying the containers. The content of this article focuses on the introduction of the mechanical system (1); the control system (2); and the operating principle of the whole system (3).
Highlights
When transporting and distributing products in warehouses, factories, buildings, or hospitals, the problem of allocating space in a congested area with a reasonable cost has led to the need for an automatic transportation system (ATS)
A general concept of the ATS using hung conveyors is described, which will provide a better look into the structure and the working principle of the entire system, as well as the method chosen for the control system
Each mechanical module carries out its function and operates independently as an absolute unit
Summary
When transporting and distributing products in warehouses, factories, buildings, or hospitals, the problem of allocating space in a congested area with a reasonable cost has led to the need for an automatic transportation system (ATS). This ATS needs to operate efficiently in the limited spaces and meet the current precision machining and manufacturing capabilities in Vietnam. There are some automated transportation systems in the world, but these system are unsuitable to apply in Vietnam. Vietnam needs a localized product, which saves costs and is convenient for future maintenance
