Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système de remplissage pour remplir une substance telle qu'une poudre, un gaz, un liquide ou une combinaison de telles substances à l'intérieur de conteneurs. L'invention porte de préférence sur une identification de tare de conteneurs de gaz liquéfié, en particulier de conteneurs de gaz de pétrole liquéfié (LPG). L'invention utilise des moyens de communication audio comprenant un casque d'écoute, de préférence un casque d'écoute sans fil, et de la façon qu'on le privilégie le plus, un casque d'écoute sans fil fonctionnant selon une norme Bluetooth®. Un système de commande de l'invention comprend de préférence des moyens de reconnaissance vocale.
