Summary:This article presents the modeling of an electromagnetic smart surface and the simulation of the pallets displacement on this smart surface. This smart surface is a conveyance system that consists of a fixed coils platform and moving pallets. The platform is composed of a coil cells matrix, where each cell is independently supplied. It allows to independently move several pallets within the platform on a planar surface along flexible paths. The behavior of the smart conveyance surface is analyzed by the simulation of the dedicated model. This model uses an algorithm developed in order to generate pallet paths even when some disturbances occur such as failure of elementary cells or potential collision of pallets. The simulation of the pallet displacement with disturbance cases is realized to valid this algorithm.
