DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION
Titre : SYSTEME UTILISANT LA TECHNOLOGIE RFID D’INVENTAIRETitle: SYSTEM USING RFID INVENTORY TECHNOLOGY
D’OBJETS DANS UN ESPACE LIMITE PAR UNE ENCEINTE OF OBJECTS IN A SPACE LIMITED BY AN ENCLOSURE
DOMAINE TECHNIQUE TECHNICAL AREA
La présente invention concerne un système utilisant la technologie RFID d'inventaire d'objets contenus dans un espace limité par une enceinte. The present invention relates to a system using RFID technology for inventorying objects contained in a space limited by an enclosure.
ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE ANTERIEURE STATE OF THE PRIOR ART
Les systèmes d’inventaire d’objets contenus dans un espace limité utilisant la technologie RFID sont connus. De manière générale, un système utilisant la technologie RFID est constitué de trois types d'éléments : Systems for inventorying objects contained in a limited space using RFID technology are known. Generally speaking, a system using RFID technology is made up of three types of elements:
- au moins un transpondeur, dit aussi tag, constitué d'un circuit électronique pourvu d'une antenne pour émettre et recevoir des données sous forme d'ondes radiofréquences, le circuit comportant au moins une mémoire dans laquelle est stocké un identifiant dudit transpondeur, - at least one transponder, also called a tag, consisting of an electronic circuit provided with an antenna for transmitting and receiving data in the form of radio frequency waves, the circuit comprising at least one memory in which an identifier of said transponder is stored,
- un point de lecture constitué lui aussi d'un circuit électronique pourvu d'une antenne pour émettre et recevoir des données également sous forme d'ondes radiofréquences, et - a reading point also consisting of an electronic circuit equipped with an antenna to transmit and receive data also in the form of radiofrequency waves, and
- une unité de contrôle reliée au point de lecture et mettant en œuvre une application. Le fonctionnement d'un tel système RFID est le suivant. Au commencement de la procédure d'identification, le point de lecture émet une onde électromagnétique modulée dite, par la suite, de réveil, à destination de chaque tag du système. A sa réception, un tag, situé dans une zone de couverture où le champ électromagnétique généré par le point de lecture est à un niveau suffisamment élevé, est alimenté électriquement par l’onde électromagnétique, sort de son état de veille, devient actif et émet alors une donnée d'identification qui lui est propre sous forme d'une onde électromagnétique modulée. Cette donnée d'identification est reçue par le point de lecture qui procède alors à l'identification du tag considéré. Dans l'application à un système d'inventaire envisagée ici, chaque tag est fixé à un objet, tel qu'un outil servant à la maintenance d'un atelier, d'une usine, etc. Les objets à inventorier sont rangés dans un espace clos, tel qu'un meuble, une servante, une armoire. Cet espace clos se subdivise en une pluralité de sous-espaces clos tels que par exemple des étagères, des tiroirs, etc... - a control unit connected to the reading point and implementing an application. The operation of such an RFID system is as follows. At the start of the identification procedure, the reading point emits a modulated electromagnetic wave, subsequently called a wake-up wave, to each tag in the system. Upon receipt, a tag, located in a coverage area where the electromagnetic field generated by the reading point is at a sufficiently high level, is electrically powered by the electromagnetic wave, comes out of its standby state, becomes active and emits then identification data specific to it in the form of a modulated electromagnetic wave. This identification data is received by the reading point which then proceeds to identify the tag in question. In the application to an inventory system considered here, each tag is attached to an object, such as a tool used for the maintenance of a workshop, a factory, etc. The objects to be inventoried are stored in an enclosed space, such as a piece of furniture, a cabinet, a cupboard. This enclosed space is subdivided into a plurality of enclosed sub-spaces such as for example shelves, drawers, etc.
Plusieurs évolutions technologiques sont apparues ces dernières années pour rendre la technologie RFID plus efficace et plus discrète. Les tags ont été miniaturisés, la configuration des antennes des tags a été modifiée pour pouvoir être utilisée sur des objets métalliques ou des surfaces telles que le plastique, le caoutchouc et la sensibilité des lecteurs RFID a été améliorée. Several technological developments have appeared in recent years to make RFID technology more efficient and more discreet. The tags have been miniaturized, the configuration of the tag antennas has been modified to be able to be used on metal objects or surfaces such as plastic, rubber and the sensitivity of the RFID readers has been improved.
Les tags RFID ont ainsi aujourd’hui une taille n’excédant pas 40mm3 et ont des antennes miniatures qui conduisent à une chute importante du gain de celles-ci. RFID tags today have a size not exceeding 40mm 3 and have miniature antennas which lead to a significant drop in their gain.
Il est alors difficile de détecter des objets disposant de tags RFID dans des enceintes closes ayant un volume important. It is then difficult to detect objects with RFID tags in closed enclosures with a large volume.
EXPOSE DE L'INVENTION STATEMENT OF THE INVENTION
A cette fin, l’invention concerne un système d'inventaire d'objets contenus dans un espace clos délimité par une enceinte, le système comportant un dispositif de contrôle relié à un lecteur UHF RFID disposé dans l’espace clos, le lecteur UHF RFID étant pourvu d'au moins une antenne qui émet des ondes électromagnétiques à destination de tags RFID disposés sur les objets, les objets ayant chacun une position prédéterminée dans l’espace clos, caractérisé en ce qu’au moins une partie des positions prédéterminées comporte un élément rayonnant auxiliaire d’ondes électromagnétiques. To this end, the invention relates to a system for inventorying objects contained in an enclosed space delimited by an enclosure, the system comprising a control device connected to a UHF RFID reader placed in the enclosed space, the UHF RFID reader being provided with at least one antenna which emits electromagnetic waves intended for RFID tags arranged on the objects, the objects each having a predetermined position in the enclosed space, characterized in that at least part of the predetermined positions comprises a auxiliary radiating element of electromagnetic waves.
Ainsi, la présente invention permet de renforcer les champs électromagnétiques autour des objets métalliques tagués, conduisant à une amélioration de la détection de l’objet. En outre, l’invention, en utilisant des éléments rayonnants auxiliaires, offre une possibilité d’adapter la conception en fonction du besoin et une facilité de mise en œuvre. Selon un mode particulier, l’élément rayonnant auxiliaire est constitué de deux branches de forme trapézoïdale et de deux barres de charge comportant chacune une encoche. Thus, the present invention makes it possible to strengthen the electromagnetic fields around tagged metallic objects, leading to an improvement in the detection of the object. Furthermore, the invention, by using auxiliary radiating elements, offers a possibility of adapting the design according to the need and ease of implementation. According to a particular mode, the auxiliary radiating element is made up of two branches of trapezoidal shape and two load bars each having a notch.
Ainsi, l’invention permet d’améliorer le taux de détection de l’objet tagué dans un espace métallique clos. Le motif proposé apporte plus de souplesse dans le positionnement de l’objet en ayant des performances moins sensibles à la direction angulaire du tag et dans l’optimisation de l’antenne. Thus, the invention makes it possible to improve the detection rate of the tagged object in a closed metal space. The proposed pattern provides more flexibility in the positioning of the object by having performances less sensitive to the angular direction of the tag and in the optimization of the antenna.
Selon un mode particulier, une branche de forme trapézoïdale comporte trois évidements disposés sur le côté le plus grand de la forme trapézoïdale. According to a particular embodiment, a branch of trapezoidal shape has three recesses arranged on the largest side of the trapezoidal shape.
Ainsi, la présente invention, en ayant une forme asymétrique, vise à élargir la plage de fonctionnement de la solution dans les bandes ETSI et FCC en ayant une large bande ou des multi -bandes. En outre, la solution permettra également de réduire la dimension de l’élément rayonnant auxiliaire. Thus, the present invention, by having an asymmetrical form, aims to expand the operating range of the solution in the ETSI and FCC bands by having a wide band or multi-bands. In addition, the solution will also reduce the size of the auxiliary radiating element.
Selon un mode particulier, une branche de forme trapézoïdale comporte deux évidements, chaque évidement étant respectivement sur un côté de la forme trapézoïdale. According to a particular embodiment, a branch of trapezoidal shape has two recesses, each recess being respectively on one side of the trapezoidal shape.
Ainsi, la présente invention, en ayant une forme asymétrique, vise à élargir la plage de fonctionnement de la solution dans les bandes ETSI et FCC en ayant une large bande ou des multi -bandes. En outre, la solution permettra également de réduire la dimension de l’élément rayonnant auxiliaire. Thus, the present invention, by having an asymmetrical form, aims to expand the operating range of the solution in the ETSI and FCC bands by having a wide band or multi-bands. In addition, the solution will also reduce the size of the auxiliary radiating element.

EXPOSE DETAILLE DE MODES DE REALISATION DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
La Fig. 1 est une vue schématique d'un système d'inventaire selon un premier mode de réalisation de la présente invention. Fig. 1 is a schematic view of an inventory system according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
Le système d'inventaire représenté à la Fig. 1 est prévu pour inventorier des objets qui sont contenus dans un espace clos tel qu'un meuble 10, une armoire ou une servante d'atelier, qui peut contenir des éléments tels que des étagères, des tiroirs Tir formant des sous-espaces clos. Cet espace clos et ces sous-espaces clos sont respectivement délimités par une enceinte métallique. Les objets en question sont par exemple des outils pour assurer la maintenance d'un atelier, d'une usine, etc. Ces objets sont pourvus d'un tag RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification : Identification par radiofréquence). The inventory system shown in Fig. 1 is intended to inventory objects which are contained in an enclosed space such as a piece of furniture 10, a cupboard or a workshop trolley, which can contain elements such as shelves, drawers Tir forming enclosed sub-spaces. This enclosed space and these enclosed sub-spaces are respectively delimited by a metal enclosure. The objects in question are, for example, tools for maintaining a workshop, a factory, etc. These objects are provided with an RFID tag (Radio Frequency IDentification: Identification by radio frequency).
Le système d'inventaire comprend un dispositif de contrôle 100. The inventory system includes a control device 100.
La Fig. 2 est un exemple d’architecture du système d'inventaire selon la présente invention. Fig. 2 is an example of architecture of the inventory system according to the present invention.
Le dispositif de contrôle 100 est relié à un lecteur UHF RFID 250 disposé dans l’espace clos 10. Le lecteur UHF RFID 250 est pourvu d'au moins une antenne non représentée qui émet des ondes électromagnétiques à destination de tags RFID. Le dispositif de contrôle 100 est, par exemple, un ordinateur, un téléphone intelligent, une tablette tactile. The control device 100 is connected to a UHF RFID reader 250 placed in the enclosed space 10. The UHF RFID reader 250 is provided with at least one antenna not shown which emits electromagnetic waves intended for RFID tags. The control device 100 is, for example, a computer, a smartphone, a touchscreen tablet.
Les objets contenus dans l’espace clos ont chacun une position prédéterminée permettant ainsi au dispositif de contrôle de déterminer ou non si chaque objet est présent dans l’espace clos. The objects contained in the enclosed space each have a predetermined position thus allowing the control device to determine whether or not each object is present in the enclosed space.
Au moins une partie des positions prédéterminées comporte un élément rayonnant auxiliaire d’ondes électromagnétiques selon l’invention. At least part of the predetermined positions comprises an auxiliary radiating element of electromagnetic waves according to the invention.
Par exemple, dans le tiroir Tir, aux positions prédéterminées des objets OMTi à OMTN comportant un tag Puci, à PUCN, sont disposés les éléments rayonnants auxiliaires Erai à Era\. For example, in the drawer Tir, at the predetermined positions of the objects OMTi to OMTN comprising a tag Puci, to PUCN, the auxiliary radiating elements Erai to Era\ are arranged.
La Fig. 3 illustre le principe de fonctionnement du système amélioré d’inventaire d’objets contenus dans un espace limité utilisant la technologie RFID selon la présente invention. Fig. 3 illustrates the operating principle of the improved system for inventorying objects contained in a limited space using RFID technology according to the present invention.
Le lecteur UHF RFID 250 est pourvu d'au moins une antenne non représentée qui émet des ondes électromagnétiques à destination de tags RFID. Les ondes électromagnétiques sont reçues par l’élément rayonnant auxiliaire Era. Lorsque l’élément rayonnant auxiliaire Era reçoit de l’énergie sous la forme d’ondes électromagnétiques, l’énergie induit un courant fera qui génère un champ magnétique intense HEra. La présente de l’objet OMT comportant un tag RFID dans le champ magnétique intense introduit un courant inductif IOMT à l’intérieur de l’objet, ce qui permet d’alimenter le tag RFID. Plus la densité du champ magnétique HEra est élevée, plus la puissance reçue par le tag RFID est importante. Le signal reçu par le tag RFID est renforcé impliquant alors une augmentation de la portée de lecture du lecteur UHF RFID 250. The UHF RFID reader 250 is provided with at least one antenna (not shown) which emits electromagnetic waves to RFID tags. The electromagnetic waves are received by the auxiliary radiating element Era. When the auxiliary radiating element Era receives energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, the energy induces a current fe ra which generates an intense magnetic field HEra. The presence of the object OMT comprising an RFID tag in the intense magnetic field introduces an inductive current IOMT inside the object, which makes it possible to power the RFID tag. The higher the density of the HEra magnetic field, the greater the power received by the RFID tag. The signal received by the RFID tag is reinforced, thus increasing the reading range of the UHF RFID 250 reader.
