This paper describes conveyance planning problem of a conveyance machine that consists of some conveyor belts mounted in a line. The aim of this machine is to convey objects that comes into the front part of the line in irregular pitch to the rear part in a constant velocity and pitch under the lowering of frictional force of the conveyor belts. The problem can be formulated as a linear programming (LP) and each optimum conveyance velocities can be derived taking into account the current maximum frictional forces of the conveyor belts. We show that the conveyance performance can be analyzed, and the conveyance works effectively by some simulation and experimental results.
