Looking for a method to recognise...
Hello all
Basically we have a large oven in work that has a large rotating slat conveyor inside, each slat held by 2xM24 hexagonal bolts either side onto a chain conveyor. Currently conscientious employee's watch the conveyor going round occasionally to see if any of the bolts have fell out or worked loose, quite easy to tell if one is missing due, however depending on speed/person not always picked up causing a lose slat to fall out and boom disaster!
Now I'm looking everywhere i.e. internet to see if any simple object recognition methods to use to simply scan now and then from the outside to the conveyor to detect missing bolts. Like what is used on a train track to detect missing fasteners. Anyone used such a system or ideas where i should be heading to?
Thanks in advance
