摘要:
Today, the material handling industry stands on the verge of full integration with a number of advanced technologies that will render systems more flexible and responsive to the needs of end-users. The trends that will significantly impact on the industry will be substantially computer- and electronics-based. Advanced control systems will use state-of-the-art microprocessors. Smart sensors will emerge, vehicle guidance technology will progress, and vision systems will increase the functionality in interfaces between material handling components. In addition, the increased use of CAD and CAE will have a dramatic effect on the design of material handling systems. An important component to this is the simulation system, which can easily and accurately model material handling flow.
