- Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a plant 4, which is divided into five areas 5a - 5e. These areas represent different spatially delimited parts of the plant, for example, machining centers, transport devices, storage areas, test stands, etc.
- each area a plurality of different monitoring objects 1 a-1 h can be located, each monitoring object is provided with an identification element.
- each identification element has a unique identifier that can be read out by corresponding detection devices 6a-6l.
- the read-out can preferably take place without contact, for example the identification element 3a can be an RFID tag, and the detection device 6a can be an RFID scanner which recognizes the RFID tag in the corresponding area 5a and reads out its identifier.
- the connections 14a-14e between the areas 5a-5e represent transport paths on which the monitored objects 1 can pass from one area to another.
- the areas may each have multiple detection devices 6a-6l. For example, along the region 5e, five detection devices 6h, 6i, 6j, 6k, and 61 are arranged in parallel with each other, and each scan a certain portion of the region 5e.
- the area 5e could, for example, represent a conveyor or a production or test track, wherein it can be determined by the detection devices 6h to 61 at which position the monitoring objects 1e to 1h present in the area 5e are located.
- the monitoring objects could, for example, be transport containers in the case of conveyors.

An evaluation of these relative positions makes it possible to detect even very complex groupings of monitoring objects and to evaluate them accordingly.
- the position determination can also be extended to a three-dimensional range, for example by providing one or more further detection devices.
- the areas 5a and 5c are each provided with only a single detection device 6a or 6e, each of which determines only the presence of the respective monitoring objects 1a, 1b or 1c in the corresponding area 5a, 5c.
- connection 14a between the areas 5a and 5b is monitored by its own detection device 6b, which detects when a monitoring object changes from one area to another.
- the detection device 6b can be arranged, for example, in a door opening between two rooms or at another location, which necessarily has to pass through a surveillance object in order to pass from one area to the next.
- a system according to the invention could be monitored completely by scanning for objects only at the connections 14a-14e between the individual areas 5a-5e.
- the detection devices arranged on the connections can also determine the direction of movement of the detected surveillance object, since it is known in a closed system at any time where each surveillance object is currently located, and thus the origin of the surveillance object, which is currently moving through a detection gate is known.
- the provision of redundant detection devices can reduce the susceptibility to errors and increase the reliability of the system.
- all detection devices 6a to 61 are connected to a computer unit 7 which records and evaluates all detection events and enters them into an inventory database 8 from which the system status of the system is determined at all times 4, that is, the each in the areas 5a-5e existing monitoring objects and, where appropriate, determine their positions.
- the arithmetic unit can also be used for the time coordination of the scans performed by the individual detection device.
- the exact configuration of the areas depends on the particular application and the arrangement of the detection devices can be adapted specifically to the particular conditions of use.
- the configurations set forth herein are merely exemplary and non-limiting embodiments.
- Various types of detection devices and marker elements may also be used wherein non-contact and tactile systems may be used in any combination.
- the evaluation of the detected monitoring objects in the arithmetic unit 7 makes it possible to combine a plurality of monitoring objects, which for example belong to a functional unit, into an object group.
- the monitoring objects 1 b and 1 c which are detected by the detection device 6e in the region 5c, form an object group 2a.
- a further object group 2b which is arranged in the region 5b in the sensor region of the detection device 6d, is enlarged in FIG. 2 and shown in more detail.
- the object group 2b shown in FIG. 2 comprises the surveillance objects 1 u, 1 v, 1 w and 1 x, which are each provided with an identification element 3 u, 3 v, 3 w or 3 x.
- the tagging elements are RFI D tags, which per se can be read out without contact by the detection device 6d, an RFI D sensor.
- the monitoring objects 1 u, 1 v, 1w and 1x are arranged in a common housing 9, which is provided with its own identification element 3i.
- the housing 9 with the identification element 3i thus likewise constitutes a monitoring object.
- the object group 2b therefore consists of the surveillance objects 1 u, 1 v, 1w and 1 x and the housing 9, which form a common unit.
- the RFID signals are shielded from the housing 9.
- the detection device 6d can read the label element 3i attached to the outside of the housing 9, it does not read the label elements 3u, 3v, 3w and 3x of the monitor objects 1u, 1v, 1w and 1x enclosed in the housing are.
- the object group 2b is a device to be tested, which is arranged in a living environment, it would therefore be possible with a spatially fixed detection device 6d to recognize that the device (ie the object group 2b) is located at the test stand (that is to say, for example, in FIG Fig. 1 shown area 5b) is located, but it could not be said about the exact features of the measurement sensor located within the device (ie the housing 9), and their labeling elements are therefore shielded and can not be read.
- the housing has a bridging device 13, which enables the detection device 6d to also read the identification elements 3u, 3v, 3w and 3x present in the interior of the housing from the outside.
- this device essentially consists of an outer antenna 1 1 arranged on the outside of the housing, an inner antenna 10 arranged inside the housing, and a gateway 12, which ensures signal transmission between the outer antenna 11 and the inner antenna 10.
- the gateway could be designed as a simple connection line between the outside antenna and the inside antenna, but this simple embodiment would quickly reach technical limits.
- the outer antenna 1 1 and the inner antenna 10 may each be conventional RFID antennas, which may be integrated, for example, in a label or other non-shielding housing.
- the gateway 12 may be powered by the power received by the outside antenna, or it may use its own power source for operation, such as a battery 15 or other alternative energy source, such as a solar cell, that uses the ambient lighting to generate power.
- the gateway can receive and transmit both via the external antenna 1 1, as well as via the indoor antenna 10 RFID signals.
- the gateway is disposed on the outside of the housing, but it may also be provided inside the housing in the inside antenna. It would also be possible for both the inner antenna 10 and the outer antenna 11 to be provided with a respective transponder element, with the two transponder elements being able to communicate with one another, thereby forming the gateway.
- the gateway 12 is connected via the connection 16 to the indoor antenna.
- the connection can be designed as a simple cable connection, which is guided via a bore.
- the connection 16 can also be designed as a fastening element with which the inner elements of the transmission device (inner antenna 10 in the illustrated case) are fastened together with the outer elements (in the illustrated case the gateway 12 and the outer antenna 11).
- Such compounds, such as screw, plug, rivet or adhesive bonds are well known to those skilled in the art.
- the material of the housing 9 for the communication between the inner antenna 10 and outer antenna 1 1 can be used, for example by the metallic conductivity of a metal housing is used for data transmission.
- an inner transponder connected to the inner antenna 1 1 and an outer transponder connected to the outer antenna, which together form the gateway 12, could be applied opposite to the metal surface of the housing, and across each other via metal contacts communicate the housing wall.
- the inner and outer elements of the gateway could be glued to the housing, where they can also be integrated in each case in an adhesive label.
- the gateway 12 receives the signal and outputs a corresponding signal 17b via the indoor antenna 10 to the interior of the housing.
- the inner signal 17b can thereby be received by an RFID tag (e.g., the tagging element 3u) inside the housing, thereby activating the tagging element 3u and outputting a response signal 17c, which in turn can be received by the indoor antenna 10.
- the response signal 17c of the RFID tag is processed by the gateway 12 in the reverse direction and delivered as a corresponding response signal 17d via the outside antenna 11, so that it can be received by the detection device 6d.
- the signals 17b and 17c in the interior can use a different frequency than the signals 17a and 17b processed by the detection device 6d. In conjunction with multi-band RFID systems, this makes it possible to create very complex and functionally stable systems.
- the gateway serves as a "hub" between the interior of a device, typically within a metallic housing, and the outside space, typically the test cell in which the device is located, thus enabling communication between a reading station (test bench fixed, ie in the external area
- a reading station test bench fixed, ie in the external area
- the metallic housing of the device acts as a Faraday cage and shields RF fields
- this communication would normally not be possible, ie without a bridging device.
- special RFID tags designed for this purpose may be used. These RFID tags are well known to those skilled in the art and typically use special antenna arrangements available from the disturbing influences of the metallic environment less affected.
- the procedure is used to map the stock of monitoring objects that are located in a system in a database and to keep this figure preferably in real time on the current level.
- the detection devices (6a-6l) assigned to the regions (5a-5e) if appropriate using corresponding gateways 12, the unique identifiers of the identification elements (3a) present in the regions are identified. 3x) read.
- all movements of identification elements between the areas (5a-5e) and over appropriately defined system boundaries can be recorded in order to track the operating state of the installation. In areas that support position determination, movements within the area can also be detected.
- the identifiers read out by the detection devices are evaluated by the arithmetic unit 7 with which the detection devices are connected, whereby in each case the particular monitoring object to which the identifier read out from the identification element is determined.
- the data concerning the particular monitoring object is then retrieved from the database 8, and the database is updated on the basis of the detection event, if an update is required.
- An update is required, in particular, if the location of the monitoring object has changed, if the status of the monitoring object has changed, or if the monitoring object has been inserted or removed from a collection.
- other data can also be taken into account, such as data derived from the work procedures performed. For example, the wear of a surveillance object can be determined based on the duration of use. In this way, for example, maintenance and calibration intervals can be determined and warnings can be issued automatically as soon as a maintenance, calibration or replacement of a monitoring object has to be carried out.
- Certain monitoring objects can be defined in the database as object groups. If a monitoring object is now being scanned that is assigned to a collection, the procedure can check whether all the other monitoring objects that are assigned to this collection are also present. If this is not the case, for example, the system may issue a warning or trigger any other workflow previously defined for this case.
- the system can draw conclusions about the entire object group from the detection of a single monitoring object. For example, if a location change is detected by individual monitoring objects of a group of objects, the method can also change the location of all the other monitoring objects of the same group. This can be useful if the object group is permanently assembled and only shared. sam is movable, and / or if there is a probability that some monitoring objects in a group can not be detected due to shielding operations. Such a conclusion is permissible in particular if none of the monitoring objects of the group is detected simultaneously in another area. On the other hand, when detecting location changes of a single monitoring object of an object group, it could be concluded that an element of the object group has been removed from the group and the group is therefore no longer complete. This is the case in particular when other monitoring objects of the same group are detected simultaneously in another area. In all cases, the detection of a particular event may result in a warning being issued, or any previously defined other workflow may be triggered.
- the reading out of the marking elements can be timed, for example at certain intervals, and / or it can be triggered when a certain event occurs, for example when a status of the installation is queried in the course of a resource planning, or if an identification element by a certain Range (eg an RFI D-gate) is moved.
- a certain event for example when a status of the installation is queried in the course of a resource planning, or if an identification element by a certain Range (eg an RFI D-gate) is moved.
- a certain Range eg an RFI D-gate
- the method may further provide steps to verify the integrity of monitoring objects and / or collections of objects.
- An integrity check can be done automatically, for example by scanning all tagging elements of the group in the same area, and also checking the spatial arrangement of the monitoring objects, provided that the system has appropriate tracking techniques.
- operator intervention may be required to verify integrity.
- the system may issue a warning message requesting the user to perform the necessary steps and then confirm. Based on the confirmation, the database can then be supplemented / changed.
- the integrity check may also include monitoring the maintenance and / or replacement intervals of individual ones of the monitoring objects of a collection.
- the system according to the invention can also be used to monitor the maintenance status of the installation or individual parts thereof by third-party providers, it being possible to precisely regulate which data is to be transmitted to this service provider or can be retrieved from this service provider and which not.
- the data used to locate the monitored objects may remain locally with the owner or user of the plant, and only consistency data may be forwarded to the service provider. This considerably facilitates the planning of maintenance operations for the service provider since he can have the relevant data at any time, and the owner or user of the installation still has security that sensitive data, such as the setup of test and test systems, does not fit into the Third hand arrive.
- the consistency data can also be used to detect any counterfeit product used in a system.
- Original products can e.g. be recognized on the basis of the label element associated serial number.
- the mere fact that an object is provided with an identification element allows a conclusion as to whether it is an original object.
- an encrypted code may also be stored on the identification element, the encryption of which can only be decrypted by the service provider or the producer of the original component.
