Abstract

Conveyor Systems (CS) begin with a conveyor belt in the beginning before the design has been upgraded from time to time. Since CS was invented two centuries ago, the main issue in the latest update is energy management. One of the main concerns in the CS issue is related to energy efficiency and power consumption, which lead to the issue of energy costs becoming too high, so there has been a lot of research done to address the energy management problem in CS. This project proposes and implements an approach for an energy-efficient CS, focusing on the improvement of energy management is CS by intelligently adjusting the speed and power of the conveyor belts by recognizing the weight of the object being transported. A smart energy management strategy controller is developing a working via rule-based Energy Management System (EMS) that aims to revolutionise the application of CS in an effort to bring it to a rural industry to boost productivity while maintaining low-cost energy usage from a simulator scenario. From the simulated scenario, the evaluation of integrated CS with smart EMS demonstrated remarkable results, showcasing an impressive power-saving capability of up to 80 percent compared to conventional conveyors. Overall, this finalyear project has demonstrated the potential for integrating smart technology into Small-Scale Industries (SSI) conveyors technology.
