1. A system for condition monitoring during the operation of a conveyor system or an airport baggage conveyor system, the system comprising:
a) a group of individual conveyor units of an identical conveyor type, each individual conveyor unit of said group including at least one of an individual conveyor line or a group of conveyor lines, each conveyor line including at least one conveyor belt;
b) each individual conveyor unit having an individual current characteristic to be recorded;
c) a background system configured to record a defined current characteristic of each individual conveyor unit during a fault-free operation and an actual current characteristic of said conveyor unit;
d) said background system configured to submit the actual current characteristic of said each individual conveyor unit for analysis and to signal an impending wear and a malfunction of the conveyor system or of a conveyor line of the conveyor unit based on the analysis; and
e) said background system configured to compare actual current characteristics of each individual conveyor unit of said group to current characteristics for said group to identify outlier individual conveyor units as an indicator for at least one of an impending failure or a failure having already occurred or incorrect mechanical adjustments.
