Untersuchung der Dynamik von Stückgütern auf Stetigförderern – Analyse, Simulation und Laborversuche

Abstract

As a consequence of increasing shipments in the CEP-market, needs for automated processes in the distribution centres appear. In the light of new approaches considering unit loads as bulk solids, applicable simulation methods to predict the motion behaviour in processes like the singulation become important. This contribution takes up this issue by investigating the discrete-element-method (DEM) for those scenarios. Finally, the application of the DEM is shown in the simulation of an unloading and singulation process.
