ABSTRACT:
Segments-in-process (SIPs) of material are automatically routed through a material handling system by distributed routing units under the guidance of a host computer system. The material handling system comprises a network of intersecting material paths. A distributed routing unit is located at material path intersections. Information relating to the source, destination and identity of a SIP is provided to the host computer system by a client process. Typically the destination of the SIP is a process machine located on a material path. Upon receipt of the information from the client process, the host defines a sequence of distributed routing units through which the SIP will move from its source to its destination. Each distributed routing unit in the sequence is then provided with information which enables each unit to identify the SIP and to perform a task with respect thereto. The tasks are then sequentially performed such that the SIP is routed through the defined sequence to its destination. The SIP may be routed to its destination when the host computer system is off line.
