Abstrakt: Material handling system (MHS) and flexible manufacturing system (FMS) able to produce highly accurate machines to automate a production system. This paper presented an auto-sizing side guard system for belt conveyor, to handle various sizes and the scenarios of the item on the conveyor. The system was modelled by using SolidWorks and validated through collision detection and SolidWorks Motion. The remote GUI allowed users to monitor and simulate different conditions of the items been transported. The system also equipped with historical data storage which served for future tracking, analysis or even prediction. The system validation result showed a high accuracy data capturing and handling capability, with maximum and minimum percentages of error as 0.2% and 2.7% respectively. The fast response time of the system also revealed that the production efficiency will not be affected or become a hindrance. The Digital Twin (DT), which is one of the important elements in Industry Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0), also been discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
