摘要：

We examine here a single station in such a system. A new kind of queueing problem arises, with input-output dependencies that result because the same conveyor transports items both to and from the station. The paper analyzes two models of a station. Model 1 has one robot that cannot return a processed item to the conveyor while unloading a new item for processing. Model 2 has two robots to allow simultaneous loading and unloading of the conveyor. A principal goal of the analysis is the proper choice of the distance separating the two points at which items leave and rejoin the conveyor.
