Definitions

  • Figure 5 A and 5B illustrate the cage in a contracted and expanded position.
  • Figure 10 illustrates a bulk encoding process flow.
  • the lifter could be positioned so half of the diameter of the cylinder is raised about the frame.
  • the lifter may be positioned such that the belt forms an inclined plane extending from the lead portion and cresting at the lifter, and a declined plane descending from the lifter and extending to the tail portion.
  • the height of the lifter may be adjusted manually, or by a servo motor for example.
  • the server 90 ( Figure 3B) may be able to adjust the height of the lifter.
  • the system may comprise one or two height adjusters per lifter 65A and 65B.
  • Figure 10 illustrates a process flow for the bulk encoding process. Some of the steps are optional and some steps may be executed in a different order then shown.
  • the container enters the cage (the cage, transporter, and container of Figure 4A could be used).
  • the system may comprise a camera or a barcode reader to recognize the container type as containing a particular product from a particular manufacturer.
  • the server may load a previously container profile associated with that container.
  • the container profile may contain encoding settings such as belt speed, cage lengtah, emitter selection, emitter power, etc.
  • the server may also comprise a human interface apparatus (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to allow a user to specify which profile to select manually.
  • a human interface apparatus e.g. keyboard and mouse
  • a container profile may be loaded 908.
  • a user may specify to the server, the number of tags in the container.
  • the server may issue an encoding command to the emitters 916. This command may include multiple firings at different transmit powers and sensitivity for each emitter.
  • the first attempted encoding may be referred to as a first pass.
  • the emitters may query the tags to determine which ones were encoded by which emitter, and transmit the results to the server.
  • the server may determine which tags were encoded 918 and with what emitter and communication count, and if not the server may determine what percentage of tags were not encoded 926.
  • the server may slow down, reverse, or stop the belt if it needs additional time to run an encoding settings optimization algorithm 930.
  • the server may cause the container to pass through the cage, and move the next container into the cage using the belt.
  • the server may run the optimization algorithm 934 to determine optimized encoding settings 938.
  • the server may load 944 these settings and use them to improve the percentage of correctly encoded tags.
  • the updated settings may be saved a container profile 940.
  • the server may attempt a second encoding 916 (second pass encoding). At this point the process repeats until all the tags are encoded— the server optimizing the encoding settings until a set of encoding settings is determined that will encode all the tags in the container.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une cage de codage (100) possédant une ou plusieurs coques. Les coques (110 et 120) peuvent comprendre des émetteurs (90A à 90D) pour générer des signaux RF pour programmer des étiquettes situées dans des conteneurs. La cage peut être montée sur un transporteur pour transporter des étiquettes RF à travers la cage. Le transporteur (10) et la cage peuvent être reliés à un serveur pour programmer les émetteurs et le transporteur. Le transporteur peut également comprendre un dispositif de levage (60) pour le levage ou l'inclinaison des conteneurs.
