ABSTRACT

An on-demand glasswasher comprises a drive motor; a rotary conveyor connected
to the drive motor; an ultrasonic sensor assembly positioned adjacent to the
rotary conveyor; a microprocessor connected to the drive motor and the
ultrasonic sensor assembly; and a memory device coupled to the microprocessor,
the memory device storing processor-executable instructions which, when
executed by the microprocessor, cause the microprocessor to receive, from the
ultrasonic sensor assembly, ultrasonic signals; analyze the ultrasonic signals
to detect the presence of one or more objects on the rotary conveyor; and
responsive to detecting the presence of one or more objects on the rotary
conveyor, perform operations to stop operation of the on-demand glasswasher.
