Abstract
A conveyor belt monitoring system includes a field generation array, a sensor array and circuitry. The field generation array is configured to generate a magnetic field. The sensor array is positioned a conveyor distance downstream from the field generation array and configured to measure a remaining magnetic field of a conveyor belt, the sensor array may include a series of sensors. The circuitry is configured to determine conveyor belt characteristics of the conveyor belt based on the measured remaining magnetic field.
