Definitions
- Management system of a collection of objects such as the stock of clothing and accessories of a clothing store
- the present invention relates to a management system (eg inventory management) of a collection of objects offered for sale, whatever the field, such as, for example, clothing and accessories of a garment shop, products and accessories sold in the field of telephony, fast food.
- a management system eg inventory management
- objects offered for sale whatever the field, such as, for example, clothing and accessories of a garment shop, products and accessories sold in the field of telephony, fast food.
- the present invention also allows a "physical" management of objects.
- the object of the present invention is to develop means making it possible to locate the objects of a collection of objects and to find, if necessary, displaced objects in order to dispose of them immediately and / or to prevent them from being considered as missing and not available for sale.
- the subject of the invention is a system for managing a collection of objects such as the stock of clothing and accessories of a clothing store having locations of batches of objects (display stands) and / or or where appropriate a store-side reservation, which system is characterized in that it comprises:
- an exit zone for neutralizing the identification tag at least one portable tag reader operating at least in local mode and in individual mode,
- the local mode consisting of:
- the individual mode being a close reading of the label of an object and possibly reading the label of the location where the object was taken.
- the management system of a collection according to the invention thus makes it possible to effectively know the state of the stock as well as the location of the objects constituting the stock so as to be able to immediately find any object moved, that is to say taken and not delivered to its assigned location.
- This management system considerably facilitates the holding of a point of sale by allowing to find the objects available for sale, for example objects forming part of a lot (size or color or shape of the object).
- This management system is especially important in sales places where items are frequently picked, tried, viewed and not delivered to their assigned location.
- This system allows a very efficient sales management because in case of missing object in its assigned place, it is easy to find or know that the requested object is actually missing in the collection of objects available at the point of sale, which makes it possible to reassort very quickly a place of sale.
- the invention has the particular advantage of optimizing sales for the merchant, but also to avoid unwanted expectations for the customer.
- the detection of objects and their assigned locations is a very simple operation that is done almost automatically or at least without requiring special attention since by habit, the user who performs a detection will direct his reader in reading mode local, first on the label of the location or display and then on the lot of objects there.
- the reading error Even if the reading is done with error, that is to say if the user does not first point the reader on the location label and immediately passes to reading the batch of objects associated with this location, the reading error will be easily spotted. The reading error can even be reported immediately to the operator since the signals that have been sent to the central unit will be immediately analyzed and will show inconsistencies.
- the central unit can thus define a zone of inconsistency to ask the operator to resume reading the stock at a given location.
- the system according to the invention makes it possible to make a particularly reliable state of the stock at a given moment.
- the reader also operates in general mode to detect objects regardless of their location and update the inventory by reading all object and location tags together and eliminating location tags as well. than duplicate object labels.
- the general mode allows to have an overview of the stock. It can be related to the local mode so that the local mode is confirmed or invalidated by the result of the general mode or vice versa. It allows a daily inventory or even more frequent depending on the needs given its reliability and speed.
- the reader reads separately or successively the label of the location of a batch and the labels of the objects at this location to send the information signals to the central unit which, at the detection of a known object having no assigned location (first detection), assigns it the location where it was detected (binomial).
- first detection assigns it the location where it was detected
- binomial assigns it the location where it was detected
- the central unit checks the binomial of the object-location labels and records its presence if the object is the one to which the detected location has been attributed. If the object does not match the detected location, the CPU saves the object as moved and its location moved and, if necessary, reports it.
- the reader operates in individual mode for a very close detection of an object.
- This individual mode can be used to detect an object at a location by individually detecting the label of the location and that of the object.
- This individual mode is particularly useful for processing a purchase and saving the item as sold in the central unit so as to update the stock status. This also neutralizes the label of the object sold so that it can exit normally through the exit zone without triggering a particular alarm.
- the exit zone makes it possible to detect an object whose label is not neutralized to signal this exit and possibly to avoid it if it is a fraudulent markdown.
- the present invention thus set up allows reading and management including custom stocks according to the needs of the user.
- the invention relates to a management system of a collection of objects which, in the present example, is constituted by the stock of clothing and accessories of a clothing store.
- objects products such as clothing or accessories will be called “objects” and displays, display cases and other places of presentation of objects, separately or in batches, will be called “displays”.
- the place of sale to which the invention applies consists of an entry zone ZE of the objects O which supplies a reserve R from which the objects are distributed to the different displays P.
- These displays of the place of sale PI , P2, P3 ... Pj, Pj + 4 are showcases, hangers, drawers, etc.
- the place of sale is equipped with a ZS exit zone crossed by the objects O n bought through a PV point of sale where the formalities of the sale are carried out, that is to say the payment and the saving the item as sold O v .
- the set is managed by a central unit UC.
- the display units will generally have the reference P and according to their situation:
- the RFID tags of the P locations will have the general ID-P reference and the particular ID-P1 ... ID-
- the RFID identification tags of the objects will have:
- the management system according to the invention applies to the input zone ZE for identifying the incoming objects OE and the output zone ZS for identifying the outgoing objects On as well as in the intermediate part composed of the reserve R and the display stands Pl-Pj + 4.
- the system according to the invention consists of a set of RFID identification tags location ID-L1 ... ID-Lj ... ID-Lj + 4 assigned to different displays Pl ... Pj + 4 .
- ID-P location identification tags are permanently assigned to the P locations as part of the point of sale organization and if this organization changes, the identification labels for the ID-P locations can be changed.
- the system also includes a set of individual RFID tags, ID-O assigned to the objects O at the entry of these in the place of sale, for example in the entry zone ZE. These ID-O tags can also be attached to OE objects upstream of the ZE input area, knowing that these ID-O identification tags are RFID tags that uniquely identify each O.
- the system also includes a or several readers L of RFID tags each operating in a controlled manner in local mode M l or in individual mode M2, possibly in general mode M3.
- the portable label reader or readers L are associated with the management control unit UC which controls the operating mode M 1 -M3 of each reader L and manages the read signals that the reader L supplies to it as will be described. then.
- each display P receives a certain batch of objects Oi, Oi + 1 (display unit PI), Oi + 2 (display P2), etc. These objects O constitute batches associated with each display P. This arrangement objects is commercial considerations or aesthetic for the presentation of objects in a store.
- the label reader L is used to scan the point of sale, either in local mode M l, or in general mode M3. It can also read in individual mode M2.
- the operating mode M 1 -M 3 of the reader L is controlled by the central processing unit UC in response to a request from the user of the reader L or according to automatic operating considerations programmed in the central processing unit UC.
- the user moves the reader L to detect the objects O present at each location P.
- the reader L is directed to the location, whether the reserve R or displays Pl ... Pj + 4 .
- the reader L first reads the ID-P tag identifying the location of the batch of objects then the reader L saves the ID-O tags assigned to the objects Oi, Oi + 1 ... associated with each display PI ... This operation of reading the ID-P location tag and that of the O objects located at this location in the display stand P continues until all the locations P are processed.
- the read signals are transmitted to the central unit UC to be operated.
- the central processing unit UC first records the ID-P, ID-O signals, both of the locations P and of the objects O, in order to then proceed to a search for the objects ... Very schematically, the central processing unit UC is programmed to compare reading to that of the previous local mode M l. For each detected object:
- the central processing unit UC assigns it the location P where it has been detected.
- the central unit UC thus forms a binomial object-location defined by the two labels (ID-Oi, ID-Pj which, except external intervention, during a reorganization of the products in store, remains definitively attributed to the object Oi.
- the central unit UC controls its binomial object-location and in case of agreement with the pair already associated with this object, there is no right now ; the central unit simply records that the object is in its place.
- the central unit notes a difference between the binomial of the object-location tags read and the binomial recorded, it considers that the object is moved and records the new position of the object Oi to allow it to be found.
- the CPU may also report this object Oi moved by a list of moved objects with their address moved to allow store personnel to return the object or objects to their assigned location. This refitting can be done periodically. In the meantime, if a request is made to find an object Oi, the central unit UC will be able to respond and report the object moved and the location where it is located. If the product has been moved between two readings, the unit search will be used.
- the local detection M l will make it possible to count the objects O present on the site and the concordance between the state of the objects thus recorded and the previous state minus the sold objects, thus to detect a possible discordance between the two states.
- the scanning in local mode M l can be done on a path PA passing through the reserve R and in front of the displays Pl ... Pj + 4 or only in front of the displays PI ... Pj + 4 .
- the different detection points are schematized by the references DO, D 1 ... D9.
- Such detection in local mode M l can be done at any time, either systematically at the beginning of the day or at the end of the day or at a period of one or two days, or even a week or according to other programs .
- the local mode scan M l can also be done during off-peak periods when there are no customers in the store.
- the individual mode M2 is a close reading mode consisting of reading the ID-Oi label of a single object, for example at the time of a transaction to identify the object sold O v , establish the invoice and neutralize its label and also register it as being sold and no longer part of the stock, that is, neutralize it O n .
- the object On is then free to pass the output zone ZS.
- General mode M3 is a block reading of all O objects on the site. This reading concerns either the reserve R and the displays P, or only the reserve R or only the display units P insofar as the objects O are managed differently depending on whether they are in the reserve or on the displays.
- This general scan M3 detects all the ID-P tags, ID-O, both those identifying the locations and those identifying the objects. This detection is tainted with redundancy giving doubloons or more due to the reflection of electromagnetic waves. These signals are transmitted to the central processing unit UC which filters them to remove ID-P location labels insofar as one seeks only to identify the objects O constituting the stock at the point of sale. The central unit UC also deletes duplicates or others corresponding to the multiple reading of the same ID-O tag to keep only one tag reading per object.
- This reading in global mode M3 makes it possible to know the objects of the stock, to compare this state to the previous state and to detect any gaps. This detection in general mode M3 can not, because of the comprehensiveness of the reading, identify displaced objects.
- the invention has been described above in the case of a place of sale consisting of a store with a collection of objects, often moved and having a market value requiring precise control of the state of the stock.
- the invention can be applied to a variety of other collections of objects at points of sale such as, for example, distribution signs where the products must be constantly stored and reorganized, or old libraries in which the books are classified by subject but are often removed from their display to be consulted and not given in their place or moved and thus requiring research that would be tedious in case of large number of objects.
- This invention also makes it possible to communicate with all the computer devices on the market (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.), which allows all the software editors exploitable on this type of hardware (not designed to be used in RFID mode in shops) to benefit from the possibilities of use and thus extend their market to that of transactional commerce (payment, order taking, even development of inventory applications, etc. .).
