Description

Dispositif de traçabilité et de contrôle de l'effraction de colis de marchandises lors de leur transport. Device for traceability and control of the break-in of parcels of goods during their transport.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant la traçabilité et le contrôle de l'effraction de colis de marchandises lors de leur transport par voie maritime, aérienne ou terrestre, afin de déterminer précisément les lieux et date où les dites marchandises sont extraites de leur colis et volées.The present invention relates to a device allowing the traceability and the control of the break-in of parcels of goods during their transport by sea, air or land, in order to precisely determine the places and the date when said goods are extracted from their package and stolen.
Il est en effet connu que les marchandises de valeur, de petite ou de moyenne taille telles, qu'entre autres, les montres, les parfums, la confection et la maroquinerie de luxe, sont habituellement transportées dans des contenants de cartons ou plastique formant des colis. Les vols de ces marchandises sont généralement réalisés durant la phase de transport. Toutefois, le vol pur et simple du colis entier et donc des marchandises qu'il contient est difficilement possible en raison des contrôles réglementaires et douaniers successifs. En revanche, le vol d'une partie de la marchandise stockée dans un colis est courant, le malfaiteur refermant soigneusement le colis après avoir commis son méfait et après avoir remplacé la marchandise volée par un matériau de poids similaire. Le vol n'est alors constaté que lors de l'arrivée chez le destinataire et à l'ouverture du colis. La problématique est alors de s'assurer de l'intégrité physique du contenant du colis afin de garantir au destinataire que la totalité des marchandises qui ont été chargées dans le contenant au chargement correspond à celle sorties du colis au moment du déchargement.It is indeed known that valuable goods, small or medium size such as, among other things, watches, perfumes, clothing and luxury leather goods, are usually transported in containers of cardboard or plastic forming parcel. Thefts of these goods are usually made during the transport phase. However, the outright theft of the whole package and therefore the goods it contains is hardly possible because of successive regulatory and customs controls. On the other hand, the theft of a portion of the goods stored in a parcel is common, the perpetrator carefully closing the parcel after having committed his misdeed and after replacing the stolen goods with a material of similar weight. The flight is then found only upon arrival at the recipient and the opening of the package. The problem is then to ensure the physical integrity of the package container to ensure the recipient that all the goods that were loaded in the container to the load corresponds to that released from the package at the time of unloading.
Le dispositif, selon l'invention vise à pallier les inconvénients précités de vol d'une partie de la marchandise. Ainsi, une tentative pour sortir du colis de façon non autorisée de tout ou partie de la marchandise provoque un enregistrement de cette effraction par le dispositif de contrôle et de commande qui est embarqué dans le colis et qui, concomitamment, assure une traçabilité événementielle du colis qui est déterminée en fonction de la durée réelle du transport et des mouvements de chaque colis, et ce afin de déterminer l'endroit où a eu lieu l'effraction avec une précision certaine et donc ainsi de pouvoir potentiellement en déduire l'identité de la personne qui a pu opérer l'effraction.The device according to the invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of theft of part of the goods. Thus, an attempt to unauthorized exit of the package of all or part of the goods causes a recording of this break-in by the control and control device which is embedded in the package and which, concomitantly, ensures event traceability of the package which is determined according to the actual duration of the transport and the movements of each parcel, and this to determine the place where the break-in took place with a certain accuracy and thus to potentially be able to deduce the identity of the anyone who was able to break in.
L'architecture du système, suivant l'invention, se compose des éléments suivants : 1. Un contenant (1) en plastique ou en carton qui intègre la marchandise (2) qui devient, une fois qu'il est chargé, le colis à transporter.

The inter-track pitch of the weft (4) and the width of the tracks (5) are advantageously designed to be large enough to accept a minor accidental perforation of the container and the weft and also to accept a voluntary perforation of the container by the customs services to allow the introduction of the cannula of a drug detector device by suctioning a quantity of air into the container (1), but also sufficiently fine so that the said track
(5) puisse être obligatoirement détruite dans le cas où un malfaiteur essaie d'introduire dans le contenant (1 ) une main ou un outil de préhension des objets à l'intérieur du contenant (1 ). D'autre part, la trame de sécurité est équipée de plusieurs diodes électroluminescentes (6) de visualisation et de contrôle du bon fonctionnement du dispositif. Ces diodes de visualisation, avantageusement distribuées à la périphérie du contenant (1 )) sont de couleur visible au travers du contenant (1) et leur allumage est commandé périodiquement par l'électronique de contrôle et de commande, tel que montré sur la figure 4. L'objectif est de fournir aux gestionnaires du transport des colis une information pertinente sur le fonctionnement du dispositif et avantageusement de créer une symbolique à effet dissuasif pour les malfaiteurs.(5) can be obligatorily destroyed in the case where a malefactor tries to introduce into the container (1) a hand or a tool for gripping objects inside the container (1). On the other hand, the security frame is equipped with several light-emitting diodes (6) for viewing and checking the proper functioning of the device. These display diodes, advantageously distributed around the periphery of the container (1), are visible in color through the container (1) and their ignition is controlled periodically by the control and control electronics, as shown in FIG. 4. The objective is to provide the parcel transport managers relevant information on the operation of the device and advantageously to create a symbolic deterrent for criminals.

FIG. 5 shows a view of the burglary detection frame with the tracks (5) forming a single circuit arranged on the container (1) mounted in the unfolded position and the control and control device (7). .
Le fonctionnement et le mode opératoire du dispositif sont décrit ci-après : Les marchandises (2) sont préparées pour le transport au niveau du premier point de contrôle (15) et introduites dans le contenant (1 ). Chaque contenant (1) est équipé du dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) intégrant l'étiquette électronique d'identification par radio fréquence (8). Préalablement au traitement du contenant, l'identifiant radio fréquence est en mode de veille, c'est à dire ne consommant que peu d'énergie.The operation and the operating mode of the device are described below: The goods (2) are prepared for transport at the first control point (15) and introduced into the container (1). Each container (1) is equipped with the control and control device (7) integrating the electronic identification tag by radio frequency (8). Prior to the treatment of the container, the radio frequency identifier is in standby mode, that is to say consuming only little energy.
Le fournisseur de contenants (1 ) expédie directement les contenants équipés de la trame électrique (4) et des dispositifs de contrôle et de commande (7) sur le lieu de chargement de la marchandise qui est également un premier point de contrôle (15). Avantageusement, les contenants (1) sont livrés plies afin de réduire les volumes donc les coûts de transport. Au moment du chargement, le manutentionnaire déplie le contenant (1 ) et le charge de la marchandise (2) à transporter. Le contenant (1 ) et la marchandise (2) qu'il contient deviennent le colis à transporter. Le manutentionnaire arme le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) à l'aide d'une action physique sur le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7). Le manutentionnaire referme le contenant avec un scellé autocollant traditionnel fixé sur la partie interne du contenant. A ce moment la continuité électrique par les pistes (5) de la trame électrique (4) est assurée. Avantageusement l'armement du dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) se réalise automatiquement lors de la fermeture du circuit électrique constitué des pistes (5) de la trame électrique (4) par le scellé autocollant.The container supplier (1) ships directly the containers equipped with the electric frame (4) and the control and control devices (7) to the place of loading of the goods which is also a first control point (15). Advantageously, the containers (1) are delivered folded so to reduce the volumes thus the costs of transport. At the time of loading, the handler unwraps the container (1) and the load of the goods (2) to be transported. The container (1) and the goods (2) it contains become the package to be transported. The handler arms the control and control device (7) by means of a physical action on the control and control device (7). The handler closes the container with a traditional self-adhesive seal attached to the inside of the container. At this time the electrical continuity through the tracks (5) of the electric frame (4) is ensured. Advantageously, the arming of the control and control device (7) is automatically performed when the electric circuit constituted by the tracks (5) of the electric frame (4) is closed by the self-adhesive seal.
Le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) se réveille et passe en mode armé. La surveillance périphérique du contenant (1 ) est assurée. Dès ce moment, si une intrusion est tentée dans ledit colis, la continuité de la trame électrique est interrompue. Le micro-contrôleur ne reçoit plus le signal électrique normalement fermé, inscrit une information dans la mémoire du dispositif de contrôle et de commande et ne commande plus l'allumage périodique des diodes électroluminescentes (6) de signalisation. Le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) est en attente d'une information radio fréquence permettant son initialisation. Le manutentionnaire entre sur son ordinateur portable (16) les informations liées au transport et qui lui sont communiquées par le service de la logistique de l'entrepôt. Ces informations sont habituellement le numéro d'identification physique du colis (3), les numéros de connaissement, le numéro d'ordre du colis dans le lot, le poids brut du colis, les noms et adresses de l'expéditeur et du consignataire de la marchandise et tout autre information utile au transport du colis et la gestion de sa traçabilité. Le manutentionnaire valide les informations entrées par appui sur une touche de fonctions de l'ordinateur portable (16). Le manutentionnaire présente son ordinateur portable (16) équipé d'un lecteur d'identification radio fréquence (17) sur le contenant (1 ) à proximité du système de contrôle et de commande (7). Le lecteur embarqué (17) de l'ordinateur portable (16) du manutentionnaire dialogue avec l'identifiant radio fréquence (8) contenu dans le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7). Le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) passe du mode armé au mode actif. Le lecteur radio fréquence de l'ordinateur portable (16) envoie au dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) via l'identifiant radio fréquence (8) les informations qu'il contient relatives au transport. Le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) envoie à l'ordinateur portable (16) via l'identifiant radio fréquence (8) son numéro unique d'identification. L'ordinateur portable (16) enregistre l'information et valide que le processus s'est bien déroulé.The control and control device (7) wakes up and goes into armed mode. Peripheral monitoring of the container (1) is ensured. From this moment, if an intrusion is attempted in said package, the continuity of the electric frame is interrupted. The microcontroller no longer receives the normally closed electrical signal, enters information in the memory of the control and control device and no longer controls the periodic ignition of the light-emitting diodes (6) for signaling. The control and control device (7) is waiting for a radio frequency information allowing its initialization. The handler enters on his laptop (16) the information related to the transport and which is communicated to him by the logistics department of the warehouse. This information is usually the physical identification number of the parcel (3), the bill of lading number, the serial number of the parcel in the lot, the gross weight of the parcel, the names and addresses of the sender and the consignee of the parcel. the goods and any other information useful for the transport of the parcel and the management of its traceability. The handler validates the information entered by pressing a key function of the laptop (16). The handler presents his laptop (16) equipped with a radio frequency identification reader (17) on the container (1) near the control and control system (7). The on-board reader (17) of the laptop (16) of the handler communicates with the radio frequency identifier (8) contained in the control and control device (7). The control and control device (7) switches from the armed mode to the active mode. The radio frequency reader of the portable computer (16) sends to the control and control device (7) via the radio frequency identifier (8) the information it contains relating to the transport. The control and command device (7) sends to the laptop (16) via the radio frequency identifier (8) its unique identification number. The laptop (16) records the information and validates that the process has gone smoothly.
Le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) qui est en mode actif, commence alors à compter son temps de fonctionnement, surveille ses deux entrées physiques : entrée (10) qui est la détection de la continuité de la trame électrique anti-effraction et entrée (11 ) qui est la détection de chocs et de mouvements, et commande périodiquement l'allumage des cinq diodes électroluminescentes (6) de visualisation et de contrôle de la non effraction du contenant. L'ordinateur portable (16) est ensuite reposé sur sa base par le manutentionnaire. L'ordinateur portable (16) communique alors avec le poste d'exploitation informatique (14) de l'expéditeur qui est le premier point de contrôle (15). Le poste d'exploitation (14) du premier point de contrôle (15) envoie via Internet au serveur du gestionnaire du transport (13) les informations relatives au transport enregistrées qui sont habituellement les numéros de connaissement, les noms et adresses de l'expéditeur et du destinataire et en plus le numéro physique du colis (1 ) et le numéro interne de l'identifiant radio fréquence (8) du dispositif de contrôle et de commande dont le contenant (1 ) est muni.The control and control device (7) which is in active mode, then begins to count its operating time, monitors its two physical inputs: input (10) which is the detection of the continuity of the burglar-proof electric frame and input (11) which is the detection of shocks and movements, and periodically controls the ignition of the five light-emitting diodes (6) for viewing and controlling the non-tampering of the container. The laptop (16) is then rested on its base by the handler. The portable computer (16) then communicates with the computer operating station (14) of the sender which is the first control point (15). The operating station (14) of the first control point (15) sends via the Internet to the transport manager server (13) the recorded transport information which is usually the bill of lading numbers, names and addresses of the sender and the recipient and in addition the physical number of the package (1) and the internal number of the radio frequency identifier (8) of the control device and command whose container (1) is provided.
Le serveur du gestionnaire du transport (13) envoie alors au poste d'exploitation du point de contrôle final (14) du consignataire les informations sur le transport de la marchandise qu'il doit réceptionner. Le poste d'exploitation du consignataire (14) transfère les informations sur l'ordinateur du magasinier du consignataire, puis sur l'ordinateur portable (16) du manutentionnaire du consignataire. La phase de transport commence alors. Le colis est transféré du premier point de contrôle (15) qui est le local de l'expéditeur vers le premier moyen de transport qui est généralement un camion.The server of the transport manager (13) then sends to the operating station of the final control point (14) of the consignee the information on the transport of the goods to be received. The consignee's operating station (14) transfers the information to the consignee's warehouseman's computer and then to the consignee's warehouseman's laptop (16). The transport phase then begins. The package is transferred from the first control point (15) which is the sender's premises to the first means of transport which is generally a truck.
Durant le transport du colis (1 ), le détecteur de mouvement est activé par les mouvements liés à la manutention dudit colis et le micro-contrôleur du dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) enregistre et horodate les mouvements. Tant que le micro-contrôleur reçoit périodiquement des informations de mouvement, les mouvements ne sont plus enregistrés afin de limiter l'utilisation de la mémoire du dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7). Un arrêt de mouvement supérieur à un temps avantageusement déterminé à 10 minutes est enregistré par le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7).During the transport of the package (1), the motion detector is activated by the movements related to the handling of said package and the microcontroller of the control and control device (7) records and time stamps the movements. As long as the microcontroller periodically receives motion information, the motions are no longer recorded in order to limit the use of the memory of the control and control device (7). A movement stop greater than a time advantageously determined at 10 minutes is recorded by the control and control device (7).
A chaque éventuel point de contrôle intermédiaire (15), le manutentionnaire dudit point de contrôle utilise un ordinateur portable (16) équipé d'un lecteur d'identifiant radio fréquence (17) établit la communication avec le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) et récupère les donnés stockés dans ledit dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) qui sont :At each intermediate control point (15), the handler of said checkpoint uses a portable computer (16) equipped with a radio frequency identifier reader (17) to establish communication with the control and control device (7). ) and retrieves the data stored in said control and control device (7) which are:
- L'information de temps total écoulé depuis le début de Ia phase de transport.- The total time information since the start of the transport phase.
- L'information enregistrée des temps au cours duquel des mouvements ont été enregistrés par le dispositif de contrôle et de commande.- The recorded information of the times during which movements were recorded by the control and command device.
- Eventuellement l'information de violation ou non du colis par effraction de la trame de sécurité.- Possibly the information of violation or not of the package break-in of the security frame.
En cas de contrôle négatif, c'est à dire s'il n'y a pas eu d'effraction, l'ordinateur portable (16) est reposé sur sa base (16.1 ) et il communique alors avec le poste d'exploitation (14) du point de contrôle (15). Le poste d'exploitation du magasin (14) envoie via Internet les informations sur le transport au serveur du gestionnaire (13) qui distribue alors les informations de temps écoulé et de périodes de mouvement du colis ainsi que l'information de non-effraction du colisIn the case of a negative control, that is to say if there has been no break-in, the laptop (16) is rested on its base (16.1) and then communicates with the operating station ( 14) of the control point (15). The store operating station (14) sends the transport information via the Internet to the manager's server (13) which then dispatches the elapsed time and movement period information of the package as well as the tamper-proof information of the store (14). parcel
(1). Dans le cas de contrôle positif, c'est à dire si une effraction a eu lieu, l'ordinateur portable (16), se met en mode bloqué. Le manutentionnaire doit entrer un code qu'il obtient du responsable du magasin du point de contrôle (15) pour le débloquer et met en route les procédures classiques administratives. L'ordinateur portable (16) est reposé sur sa base (16.1 ) et il communique alors avec le poste d'exploitation (14) du point de contrôle (15). Le poste d'exploitation du magasin envoie via Internet les informations sur le transport au serveur du gestionnaire (13) qui distribue alors l'information horodatée de l'effraction du colis vers les personnes concernées. Lors de la phase de fin de transport des marchandises, le colis passe par un dernier point de contrôle (15) qui se trouve dans le magasin de stockage des marchandises du consignataire. Le manutentionnaire du magasin de stockage utilise son ordinateur portable (16) et entre le numéro d'identification physique (3) du colis. L'ordinateur portable (16) connaît le numéro d'identification interne de l'identifiant radio fréquence (8) qui lui a été transmis par le poste d'exploitation (14) du consignataire et commence le dialogue avec le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) via l'identifiant radio fréquence (8).(1). In the case of positive control, that is to say if a break-in has taken place, the laptop (16) goes into blocked mode. The material handler must enter a code that he obtains from the checkpoint store manager (15) to unlock it and initiates the traditional administrative procedures. The portable computer (16) is rested on its base (16.1) and communicates with the operating station (14) of the control point (15). The warehouse operating station sends the transport information via the Internet to the server of the manager (13) who then distributes the time stamped information of the break-in of the parcel to the persons concerned. During the end of the goods transport phase, the parcel passes through a last checkpoint (15) which is in the goods storage warehouse of the consignee. The storage warehouse handler uses his / her laptop (16) and enters the physical identification number (3) of the package. The portable computer (16) knows the internal identification number of the radio frequency identifier (8) which has been transmitted to it by the operating station (14) of the consignee and starts the dialogue with the control device and the control (7) via the radio frequency identifier (8).
Le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) et l'ordinateur portable (16) valident mutuellement la concordance des éléments du transport : les numéros de connaissement, les coordonnées de l'expéditeur et du consignataire, le numéro de colis et le numéro unique de l'identifiant radio fréquence (8).The control and control device (7) and the laptop (16) mutually validate the correspondence of the transport elements: bill of lading numbers, sender and consignee details, parcel number and unique number. the radio frequency identifier (8).
Le dispositif de contrôle et de commande (7) télécharge via l'identifiant radio fréquence (8) les informations du déroulement du transport qui ont été enregistrées par le dispositif de contrôle et de commande dans l'ordinateur portable (16) du manutentionnaire:The control and control device (7) downloads via the radio frequency identifier (8) the information of the transport sequence which has been recorded by the control and control device in the handler's laptop (16):
- L'information de temps total écoulé depuis le début de la phase de transport.- The total time information since the beginning of the transport phase.
- L'information horodatée des temps au cours duquel des mouvements ont été enregistrés par le dispositif.- The timestamped information of the times during which movements were recorded by the device.
- Eventuellement l'information de violation ou non du colis par effraction de la trame de sécurité (4) du contenant (1 ).- Possibly the information of violation or not of the package break-in of the security frame (4) of the container (1).
L'ordinateur portable (16) est ensuite reposé sur sa base (16.1 ) par le manutentionnaire. L'ordinateur portable (16) communique avec le poste d'exploitation (14) du consignataire. Le poste d'exploitation (14) envoie via Internet les informations sur le déroulement du transport au serveur du gestionnaire du transport (13). Le serveur du gestionnaire du transport (13) envoie au poste d'exploitation de l'expéditeur de la marchandise qui est le premier point de contrôle (15) les informations relatives au transport du colis (1) et l'éventuelle information d'intrusion avec le nombre total de minutes écoulées préalablement à l'intrusion et permettant de déterminer la localisation du colis au lieu de l'effraction en fonction du temps écoulé avant l'effraction et ainsi d'en déduire l'identité de la personne qui a pu commettre l'effraction. The laptop (16) is then rested on its base (16.1) by the handler. The portable computer (16) communicates with the operating station (14) of the consignee. The operating station (14) sends via the Internet information on the progress of the transport to the server of the transport manager (13). The server of the transport manager (13) sends to the operating station of the sender of the goods which is the first control point (15) the information relating to the transport of the package (1) and the possible intrusion information with the total number of minutes elapsed before the intrusion and making it possible to determine the location of the package instead of the burglary as a function of the time elapsed before the break-in and thus to deduce the identity of the person who was able to to commit the break-in.
