Conveying system and method for operating the same

A method, comprising:

• providing a rail, a first conveying unit movably mounted on the rail, and a central controller configured to control the first conveying unit, wherein the first conveying unit includes a first housing, a first gripping member disposed inside the first housing, a first sensor disposed on the first gripping member, and a first unit controller disposed on the first gripping member;
• displacing the first conveying unit along the rail at a first speed;
• obtaining a first vibration measurement by the first sensor upon the displacement of the first conveying unit along the rail at the first speed;
• analyzing the first vibration measurement by the first unit controller;
• transmitting a first signal based on the analysis of the first vibration measurement from the first unit controller to the central controller;
• providing a second conveying unit movably mounted on the rail, wherein the second conveying unit includes a second housing, a second gripping member disposed inside the second housing, a second sensor disposed on the second gripping member and a second unit controller disposed on the second gripping member;
• transmitting a first feedback signal based on the first signal from the central controller to the second unit controller;
• and
• displacing the second conveying unit along the rail at a second speed based on the first feedback signal,
• wherein when the first vibration measurement is greater than a predetermined vibration threshold, the second speed is less than the first speed, and when the first vibration measurement is less than a predetermined vibration threshold, the second speed is greater than the first speed.
