Modelling and simulating palletization automated plants operation

The paper describes the way in which we can model and simulate a part of a complete automated manufacturing technological flow, namely the palletization part, meaning pieces arrangement in a certain order requested by the user. The purpose of the modelling is the determination of an adequate operation algorithm that can be further implemented in a real situation. In this case, we suppose that pieces arrangement is made under the form of a matrix, the number of lines and columns being able to be set by the computer, whose parallel port is connected to the automated plant experimental model.
