Method and system for monitoring logistics facilities
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring processes and/or operating states in a roofed logistics facility, comprising:
- providing a system, the system comprising;
at least one unmanned aerial vehicle having at least one sensor, the sensor capable of providing three-dimensional information;
at least one data processing machine;
at least one output device;
detecting a current state of at least one characteristic in the roofed logistics facility by means of the three-dimensional information provided by the at least one sensor of the at least one aerial vehicle and transmitting the data representing the current state to the data processing machine, wherein the current state includes a position of an object in a high-bay racking of the roofed logistics facility;
processing the data representing the current state by the data processing machine, at least one processing result being obtained, and transmitting the at least one processing result to the output device;
outputting the processing result by the output device;
wherein the processing of the data transmitted by the at least one sensor comprises comparing the detected current state with a predetermined target state, wherein the predetermined target state includes a permitted position of the object, wherein the permitted position is determined based on the three-dimensional information indicating i) the position of the object relative to the high-bay racking and ii) an additional position of an additional object relative to the high-bay racking.

8. A system for monitoring processes and/or operating states a roofed logistics facility, comprising:
-
at least one unmanned aerial vehicle which comprises at least one sensor, the sensor capable of providing three-dimensional data, wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle is designed to detect a current state of at least one characteristic in the roofed logistics facility by means of the three-dimensional data provided by the at least one sensor, wherein the current state includes a position of an object in a high-bay racking of the roofed logistics facility; at least one data processing machine which is or can be coupled for communication with the at least one sensor of the aerial vehicle in order to receive data representing the current state from the at least one sensor, and is also designed to process the data representing the current state, at least one processing result being obtained; at least one output device which is or can be coupled for communication with the data processing machine in order to receive the processing result and is also designed to output the processing result; wherein the data processing machine comprises a memory and/or operatively communicates with a memory device, in which data representing a predetermined target state are stored, wherein the predetermined target state includes a permitted position of the object, wherein the permitted position is determined based on the three-dimensional data indicating i) the position of the object relative to the high-bay racking and ii) an additional position of an additional object relative to the high-bay racking, and wherein the data processing machine is also designed to compare the detected current state with the at least one predetermined target state when processing the three-dimensional data received from the at least one sensor. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16)
