Use of the Z Transform in Assembly Planning and Error Recovery

Abstract

The modelling and analysis of robotic assembly cells and production lines usually relies on sophisticated software packages designed to simulate the operation of systems normally represented by mathematically intractable network notations. Describes how a mathematical transform normally used in the design of digital filters can be utilized in conjunction with a very simple network notation to provide an easy‐to‐use tool applicable to both manual and computer analysis of production systems.
