Dear All, I agree with Doug's quick assessment of the standards but more details of the system are required. Here in North America we have various standards that may be applied to this type of system. For example, if transport system is a conveyor, we have standards for conveyor systems. If transport system is functioning like a robot, we have robotic standards.
