A monitoring function-equipped dispensing system and a method of monitoring the dispensing system wherein conditions in a pipeline can be identified accurately and precisely by not only optically measuring conditions in the pipeline, but performing other measurements reinforcing the former. The system comprises: one or more translucent or semi-translucent pipelines; one or more pressure regulating units which respectively regulate the pressures in the pipelines; an elevating/lowering unit which enables the pipelines to be elevated/lowered; a pressure measuring unit which measures the pressures in the respective pipelines when operation instructions are given to the pressure regulating unit; an optical measurement unit which optically measures the conditions of the pipelines above the container disposition area, when operations based on operation instructions including operation instructions to the pressure regulating unit are completed; and a monitoring unit which judges the conditions in the pipelines based on the operation instructions and measurement results of the pressure measuring unit and the optical measurement unit so as to obtain monitoring results that associate the judged results with respective pipelines and the operation instructions.
A monitoring function-equipped dispensing system comprising:
A method of monitoring a dispensing system, wherein a dispensing system having:
A method of monitoring a dispensing system, which has a disposition confirming step for reading an identifier affixed to a container disposed in said container disposition area, to obtain disposition data showing the type and the disposition of the containers in said container disposition area.
