CONTAINER INSPECTION SYSTEM

摘要

The container inspection system (100) operates globally at container handling facilities (102) and includes at least one transport apparatus (104) located at a container handling facility having a spreader (106) for connecting and handling cargo containers (108) of all shapes and sizes. The transport apparatus is in communication with a computer network including several computing devices (202, 116, 124) that provide to the transport apparatus comparison data including load models, load signatures, weight profile, and sensory limits related to a particular container. Sensors (302, 804, 1102) can be located on the spreader, inside the container, and invasively through the container and provide scanned characteristic data that is compared to comparison data to determine a pass status or a fail status for the container. The transport apparatuses then move the connected container to a first location (1202) if a pass status is determined and a second location (1204) if a fail status is determined. The computer network employs expert system methodology.
