Basics

- A conveyor belt and casing like those at grociery stores and/or stores like walmart/target



Used For

- Large Volume Stores/Stores With a better user expirience



Industry Standards

-



Existing Open Source Designs

-



Minimum Viable Product

- Cheap as Possible

- Modular

- Probably around 50cm by 1m conveyor belt (when looking at the top only, not total dimentions), but scalable

- DC, AC, or Hydraulic Operation

- Safe to use

- Interfaces with the Open Source Cash Register both for control and structure



Basic Design

Conveyor Belt Module

- A 50cm by 1m conveyor belt (when looking at the top only, not total dimentions)

- Uses a series of rollers that can be tensioned easily


Motor Module

- Either DC, AC or Hydraulic Motors depending on what the user has easily available to power them


Power Module

- Either electric (AC + DC), or hydraulic (Hydraulic quick disconnects + (AC + DC Power In) for control

- Also has a control USB C port for control of the conveyor by the Open Source Cash Register


Case Module

- Either a large 3d Print, or a welded metal enclosure that encloses all the other modules, both for structure, and looks

- Probably want to sand it/paint it/powder coat it for looks as well


Control Module

- 1x Microcontoller

- ?x Servo Controller
