Method for inspecting a facility, preferably a conveying facility
The present invention relates to a method for inspecting a facility ( 1 ), wherein the method comprises at least the automatically executed steps of: capturing ( 100 a ) optical data from at least one facility part ( 12, 13 ) of the facility ( 19 ), capturing ( 100 b ) acoustic data from at least the same facility part ( 12, 13 ) of the facility ( 19 ), and jointly evaluating ( 200 ) the captured optical data and the captured acoustic data.
1 . An inspection system for inspecting a conveying facility, the system comprising:
at least one drone to capture both optical and acoustic data;
an RGB camera;
a plurality of acoustic sensors, and
at least one control unit configured to:
capture optical data from a plurality of rollers of the facility ( 19 ) using the RBG camera and the infrared camera;
capture ( 100 b ) acoustic data from the plurality of rollers using the plurality of acoustic sensors;
jointly evaluate the captured optical data and the captured acoustic data to determine conditions for the plurality of rollers; and
wherein the plurality of acoustic elements are located on the conveying facility and the infrared camera is located on a drone.
2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a memory having a program code implemented by the control unit.
3 . The system of claim 1 , comprising a plurality of drones each comprising a GPS receiver to detect position, capture additional optical data and additional acoustic data at a plurality of positions, store the captured additional optical data in the additional acoustic data and transmit the captured additional optical data and the additional acoustic data.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the camera sensors are movable and the acoustic sensors are stationary.
5 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a drone landing pad configured to send stored optical data to the at least one control unit and recharge a drone.
