The Great Depression soon transitioned Times Beach from a recreation area into a more permanent working-class community. In the 1970s, the town paid a waste hauler to spray oil on the streets to control the dust. The article presents the results of computer simulations related to the selection and optimization of the parameters of robotic packing process of one type of product. Taking the required performance of the robotic production line as a basis, we proposed its configuration using the RobotStudio environment for offline robot programming and virtual controller technology. Next, a methodology for the validation of the adopted assumptions was developed, based on a wide range of input data and a precise representation of the applicable conditions in the packaging process of one type of product.
This methodology included test scenarios repeated an appropriate number of times in order to obtain the result data with the desired reliability and repeatability. The main element of the research was a computer simulation of the station based on the Picking PowerPac package. It was assumed that the products on the technological line are generated pseudo-randomly, thus reflecting the real working conditions.
