Contribution to the development of supplementary guidelines of embodiment design for roller conveyors

Currently the focus of planning and designing intralogistic systems lies on the technical quality rating in the form of maximum fulfilment of the mechanical requirements. This compliancy is often achieved by oversizing the mechanical components. A re-orientation in designing such systems is especially necessary because of the multitude of electrically-driven components. The current guidelines for embodiment design for intralogistic systems are not sufficient to optimise such plants regarding their service conditions. That is why adapted statistical models have been developed with the help of DoE based on measurands. These models conduce to generate new guidelines for embodiment design for such plants.
