A contribution to the dependence of conveyor transport on automation level of manufacturing equipment
Dragan Živković Milan Bukumirović
Analysing how a transport system works leads us to the conclusion that there is a certain dependence of conveyor transport, on one side, and the automation level of manufacturing equipment, that is supplied by the transport device analyzed, on the other side. This paper presents the results from the Zmaj factory of agricultural equipment in Belgrade, where the dependence of conveyor transport on the automation level of manufacturing equipment was a subject of an analysis. The results show that the dependence of conveyor transport on automation level of manufacturing equipment is stronger in the section where the automation of manufacturing equipment is based on integration of selected manufacturing operations.
Key words: transport of material, automation level, manufacturing equipment, supply, supply factor. |
