Research on idea for electronic shelf

The idea of the device is the make a moveable box on the self. The following research is on the conveyor belt that would be the driver to move the box left and right and the electronic lift for up and down.

Conveyor blet Research

Conveyor belt is a mechanical machine consisting of a continuous moving belt that transports objects from one place to another using primarily of two or more drums with a continuous of material, the conveyor bet that rotates around them.

It can be divided into two main industrial classes of belt conveyors:- One that generate using the conveyor belt to move objects and boxing from one location to another, this is usually and indoor system.- Those used to transport industrial bulk material handling, such as clay, grain, coal, ores, rice, etc. in indoors or outdoor locations.The material which is used for the belt is made out of rubber belt which is used around the conveyor and it is to save time and money to conveying goods in many factory, like in steel factory, cement factory and mines.

This is the animation of the conveyor belt. Showing the the belt rotate around the drums which will be controlled by several motors.

I found this video the automated shelf used motor for the self rotation. This is the primary idea to create an automated shelf for the purpose of area restriction and convenience for the user.
