Abstract
A method for analyzing malfunctions in an operation of a handling system configured to handle mail items includes identifying at least one characteristic of a mail item to be fed to the handling system to obtain mail item information, detecting a malfunction in an operation of the handling system to obtain malfunction information, determining at least one malfunction mail item or group of malfunction mail items that triggered the malfunction, and assigning the malfunction information with the mail item information of the malfunction mail item or malfunction mail item group.
Claims19
A method for analyzing malfunctions in an operation of a handling system configured to handle mail items, comprising:
- identifying at least one characteristic of a mail item to be fed to the handling system to obtain mail item information;
- detecting a malfunction in an operation of the handling system to obtain malfunction information;
- determining at least one malfunction mail item or group of malfunction mail items that triggered the malfunction;
- and
- assigning the malfunction information to the mail item information of the at least one malfunction mail item or the group of malfunction mail items.
A method for training or retraining a classifier to determine evaluation information about mail items to be fed to a handling system, the method comprising:
- receiving input training data including mail item information;
- and
- receiving output training data including malfunction information associated with the mail item information.
A system for analyzing malfunctions in an operation of a handling system configured to handle mail items, comprising:
- a supply unit configured to feed mail items to a handling system;
- an identification unit configured to identify mail items fed to the handling system on the supply unit in order to obtain mail item information;
- a malfunction detection unit configured to detect a malfunction in an operation of the handling system to obtain malfunction information;
- and
- a control unit configured to assign the malfunction information to the mail item information.
