Design and Research of a Rotating Packing Device with AI IntegrationMiles Whitaker

Abstract

This paper presents the design and research of a novel rotating packing device aimed at improving packaging efficiency, operational flexibility, and automation potential. The device is composed of a first and a second rotating shaft, each equipped with multiple suspended shaft arms and attached box bodies. Through the coordinated rotational movement of these components, the device enables rapid, stable, and organized item placement and retrieval. The mechanical structure is carefully optimized to enhance stability under dynamic loads, maximize spatial utilization, and support high-frequency operations in industrial settings.In terms of motion control, the system employs synchronized rotational mechanisms that ensure precise angular positioning and smooth trajectory planning, minimizing potential collisions and mechanical wear. Detailed analysis of the device's kinematic behavior, load distribution, and structural dynamics is conducted to verify its performance and reliability under various operating conditions. Experimental validations demonstrate that the proposed design significantly improves throughput and reduces manual handling time compared to conventional fixed packing systems.Moreover, this study discusses the future integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to further elevate system intelligence and adaptability. Potential AI applications include real-time object recognition, predictive maintenance, adaptive path optimization, dynamic load balancing, and anomaly detection. By embedding AI-driven modules into the control architecture, the rotating packing device can achieve autonomous decision-making, fault-tolerant operation, and continuous performance improvement, ultimately supporting the broader goal of intelligent manufacturing and smart logistics. Future work will focus on the implementation of these AI enhancements and their evaluation in real-world production environments.
