Abstract: An industrial transportation system includes one or more movers and a robot system. The robot system is configured to load one or more items on the surface of respective movers and unload the one or more items from the surface of respective movers. Each of the one or more movers includes a first surface configured to provide reversible adhesion between the mover and an item loaded on the mover. The reversible adhesion of the surface is activated at loading and deactivated at unloading.

Abstract: A method includes receiving one or more process inputs and one or more process outputs associated with one or more operations of one or more components of an industrial automation system. The method also includes determining a model representative of the one or more components based on the one or more process inputs and the one or more process outputs; identifying a boundary response time threshold associated with an unmeasured operating parameter of the one or more components based on the one or more process outputs; determining one or more inputs to modify the one or more operations of the one or more components based on the boundary response time threshold; and receiving one or more measured outputs of the one or more components after providing the one or more inputs to the model, the one or more measured outputs are acquired before the boundary response time threshold.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, via one or more processors, design information indicating an arrangement of a plurality of industrial automation components, wherein the plurality of industrial automation components comprises a motor. The method also includes determining, via the one or more processors, an equation of motion representing a mechanical operation of the plurality of industrial automation components based on the arrangement of the plurality of industrial automation components. Further, the method includes determining, via the one or more processors, a plurality of mechanical parameters representing the mechanical operation of the plurality of industrial automation components based on the equation of motion. Further still, the method includes generating, via the one or more processors, a model of the plurality of industrial automation components based on the plurality of mechanical parameters, wherein model represents one or more operations of a physical arrangement of the plurality of industrial automation components.

Abstract: A tamper detection device (TDD) includes a current generation system positioned relative to a first portion and a second portion of an enclosure to generate an electric current when the first portion moves relative to the second portion, the enclosure contains a product object and the TDD powered by the product object; an electric storage device coupled to the current generation system to be charged by the electric current, the electric current is generatable when the product object is off and the TDD is unpowered; a controller that determines, within a time window since the product object is switched on and powers the TDD at a particular time, that the electric storage device is charged, generates, responsive to such determination, a tampering output indicating that a tampering event has occurred when the product object is off prior to the particular time, and transmits the tampering output to the product object.
