Conveyor Belt Project- Part 1
Project Description
The new computer-controlled conveyor belt is an exciting project that moves and positions items on the conveyor belt within < J millimeter. The project will produce a new system for future installations, and for replacement of those in the field, at a low cost. The computer-controlled conveyor belt has the potential to be a critical unit in 30 percent of the systems installed in factories. The new system is also easier to update with future technologies. The Project Priority Matrix for the Conveyor Belt Project (CBP) is:
