Claim 19:
20. A computing device, comprising:
a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions;
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute computer-readable instructions to:
receive a starting location of a container of the one or more containers within a conveyor network, wherein the computing device is operably coupled to the conveyor network;
receive a destination location of the container within the conveyor network;
receive an operating density for each of the conveyors in the conveyor network;
determine a travel time for each of the conveyors in the conveyor network based on one or more of the conveyor length, the conveyor operating speed, the operating density, and historical performance of each of the conveyors in the conveyor network;
determine a travel path for the container between the starting location and the destination location based on the determined travel time for each of the conveyors in the conveyor network;
predict a location of the container within the conveyor network based on the determined travel path;
determine the operating density for each of the conveyors in the conveyor network based on the predicted location of the container; and
modify the travel path based on the operating density.
