Airport luggage carousels are usually operated in a run-to-failure approach that necessarily leads to failures. Anomalies are detected during operation of a conveyor system having a revolving drive chain, a drive unit and a conveyor belt. The drive chain serves to transmit force and motion from a drive unit to a conveyor belt, and has chain elements and pins connecting them. At least one of the pins is a force measurement pin that registers the forces acting thereon during movement of the drive chain. The registered forces are transmitted wirelessly to the background system together with a timestamp and/or a location stamp and an identity of the force measurement pin. The transmitted data are analyzed in the background system and, in the event of deviations, identified as an anomaly and signaled by a notification. The measurement results are evaluated to derive maintenance measures in a targeted manner.
A method for identifying anomalies during an operation of a conveyor system for transporting piece goods,
In a conveyor system for transporting piece goods, the conveyor system comprising a revolving drive chain, a drive unit and a conveying section, wherein the drive chain serves for transmitting force and movement from the drive unit to the conveying section and the drive chain is formed with chain links and pins connecting the chain links, a system for identifying anomalies during an operation of the conveyor system comprising:
