Apparatus for monitoring cargo and for displaying loading information through airport luggage-loading station, has optical imaging unit that captures images of cargo at loading point at loading station, and transfer point

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# A data processing system (10) records the cargo (6) transported to a loading station (4) by a conveyor system (2). The cargo at a transfer point (3) is transferred to a loading point (11) at the loading station. An optical imaging unit (7) and a display unit (8) are connected to the data processing system. The images of the cargo at the loading point and the transfer point are captured by using the optical imaging unit. The loading information (9) of merchandise (60-63) is determined for displaying at the display unit. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is included for a method for monitoring cargo and for displaying loading information through luggage-loading station. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Apparatus for monitoring cargo and for displaying loading information through airport luggage-loading station. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The loading status of cargo is obtained directly before the loading process without any manual intervention. Hence the loading process can be performed at reduced effort and within short time period. An alarm signal is generated when faulty loading of cargo is detected, hence immediate correction of the faulty loading of cargo can be performed. Hence the search process of cargo in wrong trolley can be avoided. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic view of the loading plant with apparatus for monitoring cargo and for displaying loading information through luggage-loading station. 2 : Conveyor system 3 : Transfer point 4 : Loading station 6 : Cargo 7 : Optical imaging unit 8 : Display unit 9 : Loading information 10 : Data processing system 11 : Loading point 60-63 : Merchandise.
