Features of application of automation elements processing and analytics of data in traction calculation multi-drive belt conveyor

Designing multi-drive belt conveyors is a rather labor-intensive process, provided that even this process is implemented based on a significant number of accepted restrictions and simplifications. This article proposes a concept of a mobile design environment — a universal software solution based on database technologies for designing and calculating various mechanical engineering objects, capable of quickly deploying in various conditions and adapting to new design objects. Using the example of the procedure for traction calculation of a multi-drive belt conveyor, the features of constructing conceptual diagrams of mobile design environments are shown, generalized elements characteristic of other mechanical engineering objects are defined. The use of mobile design environments and their further development allows for the implementation of large-scale digital experiments on various design objects based on the accumulation and analysis of large arrays of parameters of synthesized possible design solutions with subsequent implementation of the choice of the fi-nal rational option.
