It accepts incoming items from many input conveyors, and delivers to many outgoing conveyors or output carousels. The majority of the input is sent to a single output. However, the input is not ordered, and must be routed. To route items to their designated output, it is necessary to register and track items. Items are registered at the input, and tracked from this point.
Baggage is tracked until each bag's destination is reached.
B. The 'Tracking Problem' covers the process of item identification. Registration puts the item in the system, and continuous monitoring of sensor information tracks the item. The complexity of the Tracking Problem is directly proportional to the amount of information on the communication network, and therefore the system performance. Solution of the 'Routing Problem' determines how a particular item reaches its destination. The complexity of this problem depends on the type, discrete or batch.
