ABSTRACT

A method (300) and a system (100) for determining a state of a roller-conveyor
system (101), are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving
images corresponding to a roller-mount (101A, 101B, 101C, 101D, ..., 101N) of
the roller-conveyor system (101); selecting an image depicting at least one
roller (200) mounted on the roller-mount in the image; identifying the roller
(200) in the selected image and annotating the at least one roller (200) to
determine a size and an orientation of the at least one roller (200);
determining a deviation in the at least one of the size and the orientation of
the at least one roller (200) with respect to a preset size and a preset
orientation, respectively, in a trained machine learning model; and
identifying misalignment of the at least one roller (200) based on the
deviation.
