Pallet monitoring system and pallet monitoring method

Abstract

A pallet monitoring system capable of identifying a grate bar that is likely to detach before the grate bar actually detaches is provided. A pallet monitoring system for monitoring a pallet of a sintering machine, the pallet having a floor surface formed by multiple grate bars includes: an imaging unit that captures an image of the multiple grate bars and generates image data; a calculation unit that calculates an inclination angle of each of the multiple grate bars based on the image data; and a determination unit that determines whether the inclination angle is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold.
