Abstract

This paper will provide you with the design and control plans for an Automatic Loading System (ALS) that is used inside containers. The process is fully automated – therefore - doesn’t rely on human resources as of now. This system will have 2 lanes containing many independent motorized conveyors for two purposes: loading a bulk of cargo (many cargoes stacked together using strappings etc.) that has the same size as the container or many small separate cargoes. Because of the simple design - combining many separate conveyors together, this can be used for containers with different sizes with 20 ft and 40ft being the most common. The result of this paper will be used as a base for any future researches on loading systems that are used in container and warehouse.
