OPENTECHNICAL PUBLICATION OT-2026-000002426 Trouble prediction method, system and program of conveyor belt Published: 2026-09-15T19:12:54.362540Z Permanent URL: https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000002426 Categories: Material Handling > Conveying Systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT A trouble prediction method of a conveyor belt is provided. In an acquisition step, measurement data related to powder (PW) that is being conveyed on the conveyor belt (41) is acquired via an optical sensor (3) installed apart from the conveyor belt (41). In the prediction step, a trouble that may occur in the conveyor belt (41) is predicted based on shape parameters related to a shape of the powder (PW) and reference information, the shape parameters being calculated from the measurement data. The reference information is information on a relationship between the shape parameters and various types of troubles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenTechnical publication OT-2026-000002426 Published 2026-09-15T19:12:54.362540Z https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000002426
