Abstract:
1. A method of remotely monitoring multiple conditions of a plurality of conveyor belts using a web-based diagnostic and predictive system that permits an automatic comprehensive collection and consolidation of data relating to conveyor belt health comprising: sensing conditions relating to a first operating conveyor belt at a first geographic location; generating at the first location first data in response to the conditions sensed; storing the first data in a first database at the first geographic location; acquiring the first data with a monitoring computer at a monitoring location geographically remote from the first geographic location; storing the first data in a monitoring database at the monitoring location; sensing conditions relating to a second operating conveyor belt at a second geographic location; generating at the second location second data in response to the conditions sensed; storing the second data in a second database at the second geographic location; acquiring the second data with said monitoring computer at said monitoring location geographically remote from the first and second geographic locations; storing the second data in the monitoring database at the monitoring location.
