Abstract
A warehouse storage rack safety system includes a sensor configured to couple to a shelf and generate a signal indicative of a deformation of the shelf, a processor, and a memory, including instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor cause the warehouse storage rack safety system to receive the sensed signal and determine an amount of deformation of the shelf based on the signal.
Claims18
A warehouse storage rack safety system, comprising:
- a sensor configured to couple to a shelf and generate a signal indicative of a deformation of the shelf, wherein the sensor includes a gyroscope;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, including instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor cause the warehouse storage rack safety system to:
- receive the sensed signal;
- and
- determine an amount of deformation of the shelf based on the signal,
- wherein the amount of deformation is further based on an orientation of the sensor relative to the shelf by:
- determining a first angle of the sensor relative to the shelf before an item is placed on the shelf;
- determining a second angle of the sensor relative to the shelf after the item is placed on the shelf;
- and
- determining the amount of deformation based on a difference between the first angle and the second angle.
A computer-implemented method for a warehouse storage rack safety system, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a signal from a sensor configured to couple to a shelf and generate the signal indicative of a deformation of the shelf, wherein the sensor includes a gyroscope;
- and
- determining an amount of deformation of the shelf based on the signal,
- wherein the amount of deformation is further based on an orientation of the sensor relative to the shelf by:
- determining a first angle of the sensor relative to the shelf before an item is placed on the shelf;
- determining a second angle of the sensor relative to the shelf after the item is placed on the shelf;
- and
- determining the amount of deformation based on a difference between the first angle and the second angle.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for a warehouse storage rack safety system, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal from a sensor configured to couple to a shelf and generate the signal indicative of a deformation of the shelf, wherein the sensor includes a gyroscope;
- and
- determining an amount of deformation of the shelf based on the signal,
- wherein the amount of deformation is further based on an orientation of the sensor relative to the shelf by:
- determining a first angle of the sensor relative to the shelf before an item is placed on the shelf;
- determining a second angle of the sensor relative to the shelf after the item is placed on the shelf;
- and
- determining the amount of deformation based on a difference between the first angle and the second angle.
