  • the containers In order to enable a smooth manufacturing process, it is necessary that the containers have an identification possibility with regard to the manufacturing lot contained, special descriptions and instructions for the objects in the container, subsequent production steps or the like.
  • stickers which are arranged on the outside of the container.
  • the stickers enable an operator to easily read information about the objects in the container.
  • RF transponder This is a device for recording and delivering information that works on the basis of radio frequency (RF).
  • RF radio frequency
  • the data and their updates are stored in the RF transponder.
  • the RF transponder is arranged on the respective container.
  • the containers pass through processing or processing stations, at each of which a transponder read / write device is arranged.
  • These transponder read / write devices fixed to the stations read the information from the transponders and / or write updated information into the transponders. This makes it possible to control the respective processing or processing step at the stations.
  • a transponder reader / writer arranged at a station can read out the transponder of an incoming container and, on the basis of the information read out, actuate or start the machine arranged at the respective station in order to process the products contained in the container .
  • the transponders are arranged directly on the goods to be processed or processed.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a system for displaying information about an item to be transported and / or processed, in which the information stored in a transponder can be checked at any time in a simple manner.
  • a corresponding container for receiving goods is to be provided.
  • the object is achieved by a system for displaying information stored in a storage device about a good to be transported and / or processed, which is characterized according to the invention by a device for reading out the information from the storage device and a device Display device for displaying the read information, the system being designed to be arranged on the good or on a container containing the good.
  • the information stored in the storage device can be called up by the operator at any time via the display device on site at the container itself.
  • the fact that the system is arranged on the respective good or container means that the data can always be clearly assigned to the respective container or object.
  • the operating personnel can check the information contained in a respective assigned transponder at any time between processing and processing stations by means of the display system according to the invention. This is also particularly advantageous if a container with a transponder on it is found that cannot be identified.

  • the display system according to the invention will normally require its own energy supply, for example in the form of a battery. If the battery is empty, the display system according to the invention, if it is designed as a single component, can be easily replaced or at least removed in a simple manner from the goods or the container, so that the battery can be replaced.
  • the storage device for storing the information can be designed as an RF transponder (radio frequency transponder) which is arranged on the item or on the container.

  • the stored information can be easily displayed on the display for the operator.
  • the display has scroll bars in the X and / or Y direction.
  • the display device can also be designed differently, for example as a printer or the like, depending on the need and application. It is only important that the operator can call up and see the stored information on the container himself, without having to use an additional external device for this.
