🧳 Baggage Scanner Line: Erlang C Queue and Waiting Time (2D)

Top view of a baggage line feeding one to eight scanners. Set the arrival rate, number of scanners, scan time and its variability, and watch the bags queue while the live mean wait is compared with the Erlang C formula. Plots show wait against load, against number of scanners, pooled against separate lines and against variability. Four in-page numerical checks, including a hidden 160,000-bag simulation.
