Modeling and Simulation of Conveyor Belt Speed Using LabVIEW Software

In industrial and agro-industrial companies, it is necessary to use conveyor belts for the transfer of bulk or packaged products from one environment to another, either for processing or for storage, which has a significant cost in the processes in said industries. For this reason, studies are needed to find the operating efficiency of the transport system. This research work was carried out in the computer laboratories of the Professional School of Agroindustrial Engineering of the National University of Moquegua. The National Instrument Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) software is used for the modeling and simulation of the speed of the conveyor belt, and it is a visual programming language, which allows graphic programming more easily than other types of linear programming. As a result of the modeling and simulation research work using graphical visual programming, a fast speed, an average speed and a slow speed were recorded on the conveyor belt under study with an expected response.
