During the blocked state or during the time, the returned goods can then be checked for their condition and functionality. Defects found can be invoiced to the customer who last rented the goods. After carrying out a corresponding inspection or overhaul, the lock is unlocked again and the goods are available for a new rental process.
  • This embodiment of the invention has the advantage that the inspection or inspection of the goods can be carried out at a time freely chosen by the operator of the device, which can further reduce the cost of personnel retention.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant d'offrir un service de location ou de distribution et de restitution de marchandises issues d'un entrepôt, en particulier d'outils, de machines, etc., à des clients ou des collaborateurs. Ledit dispositif comporte un organe de commande central conçu pour traiter et stocker des données relatives à des marchandises et à des clients, des moyens de saisie de données permettant d'entrer les données spécifiques de chaque client, ainsi que des supports d'information au niveau de chaque marchandise, destinés à stocker des informations spécifiques aux marchandises et à les identifier. Le dispositif est caractérisé en ce qu'un verrou électronique distinct est associé à chaque marchandise et permet de bloquer la marchandise concernée dans l'entrepôt. Ce dispositif comporte également des moyens permettant l'établissement de communications de données entre le verrou, l'organe de commande et les moyens de saisie des données. Selon le dispositif, le verrou libère la marchandise lorsqu'il reçoit une instruction de déblocage provoquée par des données spécifiques de clients ayant une autorisation d'accès, et l'organe de commande reçoit un signal de déstockage caractéristique d'un processus de déstockage lorsque la marchandise concernée est déstockée. Le dispositif comprend en outre des moyens qui, dès qu'une marchandise est à nouveau associée à un verrou libre et bloquée par ce dernier, transmettent à l'organe de commande les données spécifiques aux marchandises concernées.
