Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for determining a status of a sorting system.
  • Sorting systems are used in many areas. For example, sorting systems are used for sorting (postal) items, ie letters, parcels and/or parcels. Sorting systems are also used to sort items of luggage. In the field of logistics, sorting systems are also used to sort goods and workpieces.
  • the sorting system In order to determine the condition of a sorting system, the sorting system is generally inspected visually and, if necessary, acoustically by one person. For example, the person can walk along the sorting system, pick up optical and acoustic information and thus determine the status of the sorting system.
  • the person can identify existing and/or impending error states at an early stage. In this way, error states can be corrected at an early stage. In this way, downtimes in the sorting system can be kept as short as possible.
  • Running through the sorting system is very time-consuming. In order to reduce the expenditure of time, it is possible to position sensors, for example surveillance cameras and/or microphones, at a number of positions in space.
  • the cameras can take pictures of the sorting system at regular intervals.
  • Microphones can pick up sounds. A person can use the images and/or the sounds to determine the condition of the sorting system.
  • WO-A-2013/112561 discloses the determination of the status of container stations of a sorting system, with each container location being assigned a stationary sensor, so that a measurement can only take place at the container stations themselves.
  • the data is transmitted by functional units equipped with transceiver units and by a number of stationary communication units arranged along the transport route. Data is transmitted via infrared, so no wiring is required, but line of sight is required.
  • EP-A-3 153 939 discloses a sorting system with sensors comprised of decentralized, stationary functional units, which are therefore only able to monitor a specific part of the system.
  • EP-A-3287499 discloses a delivery vehicle with a detection unit, comprising sensors for detecting the environment with the aim of enabling safe delivery, in which collisions are avoided and the delivery vehicle reliably finds a delivery box.
  • the sensors of the detection unit enable safe delivery by detecting obstacles (vehicles, animals, traffic lights, ..., whereby the majority of these obstacles will change their position before they are passed again and the delivery vehicle will also usually drive different routes. These obstacles are therefore not comparable to anomalies in a plant.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an alternative, in particular an improved, method for determining the status of a sorting system.
  • the object is achieved by a method for determining a status of a sorting system according to claim 1, a functional unit according to claim 11, and a sorting system according to claim 12, wherein in particular a functional unit is moved over several transport routes of the sorting system and using at least one sensor of the functional unit status information of the sorting system can be determined. Anomalies in the status information are determined by means of a data processing unit of the functional unit.
  • the functional unit transmits the anomalies to an evaluation unit. According to the invention, a state of the sorting system is determined on the basis of the anomalies.
  • the status of the sorting system can be determined automatically as far as possible.
  • the status of the sorting system can be determined in a time-efficient manner.
  • sources of error when determining the status of the sorting system can be reduced.
  • the functional unit Since the functional unit is driven over the several transport routes of the sorting system, there is no need to to position several sensors of a sensor type several times, as would be necessary for positioning in space. In this way costs can be saved. Furthermore, the amount of data to be evaluated can be correspondingly smaller. In this way, the process is particularly economical.
  • a state of the sorting system can be a normal state and/or an error state, for example.
  • a determined fault state can have information about a fault type, a fault location and/or a fault time, for example.
  • the sorting system is expediently a sorting system for sorting piece goods.
  • the sorting system preferably transports the piece goods to be sorted to several/different destinations. This means that the sorting system is preferably set up to transport piece goods to different destinations. In this way, the piece goods can be sorted.
  • the sorting system can be a sorting system for sorting items of luggage and/or shipments. Shipments can be small packages, packages and/or letters, for example.
  • the sorting system can be a baggage sorting system, a parcel sorting system or the like. be.
  • the sorting system can also be a sorting system for workpieces and/or goods.
  • the functional unit is expediently a unit that is moved over several transport routes of the sorting system.
  • the functional unit can have the dimensions of a standard piece of goods, for example.
  • the functional unit can have a kind of shell, in particular a luggage shell and/or a tray.
  • the shell can, for example, carry the data processing unit of the functional unit, the at least one sensor and possibly further elements of the functional unit in its depression and/or at other suitable positions.

  • the functional unit has a data processing unit, by means of which anomalies in the status information are determined.
  • the anomalies can be determined using predetermined rules, for example.
  • the anomalies can be determined by comparing the status data with a reference.
  • anomalies which can also be referred to as anomalies in the status information, are linked to localization information.
  • Localization information linked to an anomaly preferably indicates at which location within the sorting system the respective anomaly was determined.
  • the location information can be determined by the functional unit. Furthermore, the localization information can be determined by a system control of the sorting system. Furthermore, the localization information can be transferred to the functional unit and/or to the evaluation unit.
  • the localization information can be determined using a positioning system, in particular GPS. Furthermore, the localization information can be determined using control data from the system control. In particular, data from reading stations of the sorting system, which reading stations are preferably positioned on the transport routes, - optionally with the inclusion of time stamps - can be used to determine the localization information.
