Abstract

In recent years, there has been a rapid development in the field of conveyor techniques concerning constructive design, algorithms and price drop. Current planning procedures fall short as they are limited to dimensioning calculations and do not include system comparisons. This paper provides support for the planning and reorganization on the basis of a dimensioning and evaluation model. For a defined use case, sensitivity analyses are performed for six input variables and three different conveying techniques. From the results, a cost comparison of the conveying techniques is made and the input variables are ranked in terms of their cost influence. The comparative analyses support the system selection in an early planning phase, the ranking provides promising starting points for the reorganization of existing systems.
