Abstract

A system for monitoring conveyor belts includes an emitter, a sensor and electronic circuitry. The emitter is configured to emit light at the surface of a conveyor belt. The sensor is configured to measure the light reflected from the belt surface. The circuitry is configured to identify a defect in or on the surface of the belt based on the light received from the sensor, and determine the source or cause of the observed surface defect. Machine learning including data from outside sources may be used in the root cause analysis.
