Abstract
An article-conveying system and method of conveying articles includes providing a conveying surface and conveying articles with the conveying surface. The conveying surface defines a series of tandem zones, each of the zones including an article sensor and an actuator. Articles are sensed with the article sensor in the respective zone and the portion of the conveying surface at that zone is driven when the corresponding actuator is operated. Inputs are received from the article sensors at the zones and the actuators for the zones are controlled as a function of the inputs. This includes defining objects, each of the objects corresponding to one of said zones. Virtual signals are enabled between the objects. The virtual signals relate to movement of articles along the conveying surface.
