Provided is a system for identification of an item, wherein the system includes a conveyor belt, a positioning device and a reader operable to receive at least one reading, wherein the positioning-device is configured to retrieve a first position of the item) at a first time instant before the first antenna and a second position of the item at a second time instant after the first antenna, the first and second time instants defining a time window, wherein the reader is configured to extract from each reading retrieved by the first antenna a measurement of the phase of the signal transmitted by the tag and perform a data processing of the phase measurements, whereby the identification of the item is accomplished.

A warning device (1) of abnormal operation of belt conveyor (2) has a pair of rotating mechanisms (10) disposed oppositely at two sides of a conveyor belt (2). The rotating mechanism (10) includes a rotating component (11) and a rotating body 12. The rotating body 12 has a fixed end (121) and a movable end (122). A pair of first sensor switches (20) is disposed on the rotating bodies (12). The first sensor switch (20) emits a first signal when activated and emits a second signal when being triggered. The rotating body (12) triggers the first sensor switch (20) when the conveyor belt (2) is abnormal. The first sensor switch (20) is triggered and emits the second signal for warning.

A conveyor for transporting and elevating articles and a method and system for conveying articles up inclines is provided. The conveyor has a conveyor belt and a plurality of support elements extending outward from the article-conveying surface of the conveyor belt advancing upward along the incline. The support elements prevent conveyed articles from sliding down the conveyor belt on the incline. The article-conveying surface of the conveyor belt may provide a low-friction retention surface to articles leaning away from the conveyor belt on the incline.
