    摘要: A system (100) for container transportation comprising: a conveyor network (101) comprising a plurality of conveyors (102), each conveyor (102) defining: a conveyor length; and a conveyor operating speed; and a computing device (200) operably coupled to the conveyor network (101), wherein the computing device (200) is configured to: receive a starting location of a first container (107) within the conveyor network (101); receive a destination location of the first container (107) within the conveyor network (101); receive an operating density for each conveyor (102) in the conveyor network (101); determine a travel time for each of the conveyors (102) in the conveyor network (101) based on one or more of the conveyor length, the conveyor operating speed, the operating density, and historical performance of each of the conveyors in the conveyor network; determine a first travel path for the first container (107) between the starting location and the destination location based upon the determined travel time for each of the conveyors (102) in the conveyor network (101); predict a location of the first container (107) within the conveyor network (101) based on the determined first travel path; determine the operating density for each of the conveyors (102) in the conveyor network (101) based on the predicted location of the first container (107); and modify the first travel path based on the operating density.

    摘要: La présente invention concerne une interface (5) d'approvisionnement en consommables d'un poste (2) de traitement de produits, avec une entrée (50) accessible à un robot (4) mobile autonome (AMR) transportant un consommable correspondant audit traitement par ledit poste (2) concerné ; des moyens de transfert automatique dudit consommable depuis ledit robot (AMR) vers un espace de réception dudit consommable, ledit espace (20) de réception étant intégré audit poste (2) de traitement, caractérisé en ce que les moyens de transfert comprennent des moyens de chargement automatisé dédiés i) audit consommable à transférer, et ii) à chaque espace (20) de réception des certains postes (2) de traitement à approvisionner avec ledit consommable correspondant.
    L'invention concerne aussi une ligne (1) de production dont un certains des postes (2) est équipé d'une telle interface (5), ainsi qu'un procédé de gestion de l'approvisionnement en consommable de cette ligne (1) de production.
    L'invention concerne encore un système de supervision de l'approvisionnement en consommable desdits certains postes (2).
