FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the method for controlling the absorption state of an absorbent article, that comprises providing a recording unit, receiving an absorption state of the absorbent article, and recording data indicative of the received absorbent state of the absorbent article in the recording unit. Receiving the absorbent state of the absorbent article and recording the data indicative of the received absorbent state of the absorbent article are continuously performed to the recording unit during the control period of the absorbent article. The invention further relates to the recording unit for carrying out this method. In addition, the invention relates to the method for processing the data indicative of the absorption state of the absorbent article, that comprises receiving the data sets indicative of the absorption state of the absorbent article. Each of the data sets indicates the absorbent state of the absorbent article for a portion of a continuous period of time and mapping and/or displaying the data in a continuous form. The invention further relates to the data processing unit for performing these data processing methods.
EFFECT: reliable and effective fault detection.
