Abstract
A conveyor belt management system is capable of determining in detail the state of a conveyor belt, more reliably preventing the conveyor belt becoming unusable, determining a suitable replacement period, and lowing the running costs of the conveyor belt. A state of the conveyor belt is monitored by a calculation unit and an expected service life before use is calculated based on data of an indicator indicating a status of a belt conveyor device and an indicator indicating a use environment of the conveyor belt; at least one data from an amount of wear, an impact force, a tensile force, a state of a core, and an indicator indicating a state of an endless portion; and a belt specification database and a tolerance range database in which a tolerance range for each of the input items in input in advance per belt specification stored in a storage unit.
