Patent

CA 2258921

An object (121) in a storage area or moving vehicle (126) is monitored by attaching an electronic tag (16) on the object (12). An electronic device (15) detects the presence of the object (12) by communicating with the tag (16) while the object (12) is in storage or is being moved by the vehicle (126). The tags (16) may also determine the location of an attached object (12) and may reroute the object (12) if it deviates from a given shipping schedule. A group of objects (12) is monitored by two electronic tags (16), each attached to an object (12) in the group. Each tag (16) has circuitry (102) for communicating information related to an object (12) in the group to a second tag (16). Each tag (16) also includes a memory (104) connected to the circuitry that is capable of storing the information, and a controller (100) connected to the memory (104) and the circuitry (102).

L'invention concerne le contrôle d'articles dans une zone de stockage ou un véhicule en déplacement par fixation d'étiquettes électroniques à ces articles. Un dispositif électronique détecte la présence des objets par liaison avec les étiquettes, en zone de stockage ou dans le véhicule en déplacement. On peut localiser un objet étiquetté et modifier son acheminement s'il s'écarte d'un calendrier d'expédition donné. Dans un groupe d'articles, le contrôle est assuré par deux étiquettes fixées chacune à un objet du groupe. Chaque première étiquette a un circuit qui transmet à la seconde étiquette l'information propre à un objet du groupe, ainsi qu'une mémoire reliée au circuit pour mémoriser l'information et un régisseur relié à la mémoire et au circuit.
