In this tutorial, you will learn how to create material handling models using the Material Handling Library and Process Modeling Library. We will show you how to model a lead acid battery production line that uses conveyors, industrial cranes, and AGVs that move both along guiding lines and in free space.

• Phase 1. Pasting of the electrodes and collecting them into batches.
• Phase 2. Transferring the batches to the drying chambers by the forklifts moving in free space.
• Phase 3. Wrapping of electrodes in the special envelopes and assembling electrode groups.
• Phase 4. Assembling the battery by placing the electrode groups inside the case with the help of an industrial crane.
• Phase 5. Adding caps and terminals to the battery, checking the battery for leakage, and filling the battery with electrolyte.
• Phase 6. Delivering the batteries to the charging location by the path-guided forklifts.
• Phase 7. Creating a custom block to diversify the manufacturing process for anodes and cathodes.
• Phase 8. Modeling the process of electrode production from sheets of metal with the help of the Fluid Library.
