A system for tracking items includes a turntable to receive a pallet containing articles having RFID devices, a transceiver disposed adjacent to the turntable to transmit and receive a signal from the RFID devices, and a wrap dispenser to wrap the articles with wrap as the turntable rotates. A method is provided including loading articles having RFID devices thereon on a pallet, loading the pallet on a turntable, attaching an end of a wrap to at least one of the articles, rotating the turntable to cause the wrap to encircle the articles until all of the articles are constrained in position by the wrap, transmitting a signal to the RFID devices to cause the each RFID device to emit a signal back to the transceiver, and reading the signals from the RFID devices to obtain information contained in the signals.

L'invention concerne un système qui permet d'effectuer le suivi d'articles, lequel système comprend: une plaque tournante destinée à recevoir une palette contenant des articles munis de dispositifs RFID; un émetteur-récepteur adjacent à la plaque tournante qui émet et reçoit un signal en provenance des dispositifs RFID; et un dispositif de distribution de matériau d'emballage qui enveloppe les articles avec un matériau d'emballage au fur et à mesure que la plaque tournante tourne. L'invention porte sur un procédé qui consiste à charger les articles munis des dispositifs RFID sur une palette, à charger la palette sur une plaque tournante, à attacher une extrémité du matériau d'emballage à l'un des articles au moins, à faire tourner la plaque tournante afin que le matériau d'emballage encercle les articles jusqu'à ce que tous les articles soient maintenus en position par le matériau d'emballage, à transmettre un signal aux dispositifs RFID afin que chaque dispositif RFID renvoie un signal à l'émetteur-récepteur, et à lire les signaux en provenance des dispositifs RFID afin d'obtenir les informations contenues dans les signaux.
