Abstract
The invention relates to a conveyor system (100) for transporting a conveyed material (11-16), comprising a conveying device (20) that is designed to transport the conveyed material (11-16) along a conveyor line (30), the conveyor line (30) being divided into multiple zones (31-36).
Claims13
A conveyor system for transporting a conveyed material, comprising:
- a conveying device that is designed to transport the conveyed material along a conveyor line, the conveyor line being divided into multiple zones,
- at least one image capture device that is designed to capture at least one section of the conveyor line in at least one piece of image information,
- an evaluation device that is designed to evaluate the captured image information and determine the conveyed material therein;
- and
- a control device that is designed to adapt the zones with regard to their size, based on the determined conveyed material.
A method for adapting zones in which conveyed material is transported along a conveyor line and the conveyor line is divided into zones having different sizes, comprising:
- capturing at least one piece of image information, wherein the at least one piece of image information results from an image capture using an image capture device, in which at least one section of the conveyor line has been captured,
- evaluating the captured image information to determine the conveyed material,
- initiating an adaptation of the zones with regard to their size, based on the determined conveyed material.
A device for data processing comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing a computer program comprising commands, that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- capture at least one piece of image information, wherein the at least one piece of image information results from an image capture using an image capture device, in which at least one section of the conveyor line has
- evaluate the captured image information to determine the conveyed material, and
- initiate an adaptation of the zones with regard to their size, based on the determined conveyed material.
A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program comprising commands, which, when the computer program is executed by a computer, prompt the computer to:
- capture at least one piece of image information, wherein the at least one piece of image information results from an image capture using an image capture device, in which at least one section of the conveyor line has been captured,
- evaluate the captured image information to determine the conveyed material;
- and
- initiate an adaptation of the zones with regard to their size, based on the determined conveyed material.
