  • Patent number: 12670469
    Abstract: A system to monitor the movement of a plurality of containers including at least one terminal having a photographic device. Each container includes an identification code. The first terminal extracts and decodes the identification code of each container before sending the photograph of that container to a database. A flash connected to the photographic device is triggered during photographing of the container. A controller, including a microcontroller, controls the system and the database. At least one photograph is processed by a processing unit to identify the identification code of each container and to generate a list of the recognized identification codes. A display screen and a trigger to activate the photographing of the containers. The system triggers the photographing during the movement of the container support by a movement element.

  • Patent number: 12572879
    Abstract: A system to monitor loading and unloading of a receptacle or of a receptacle support for transporting goods in a container. The system includes a photographing apparatus for taking photographs in front of a zone for monitoring at least a part of the interior of the container, according to an activation parameter from at least one sensor. The photographing apparatus configured to acquire at least one image or one film or any other reproduction of shape described by a cloud of points in at least two colors. The system further includes a database, microcontroller and a network terminal having a data transceiver to exchange data. The sensor of the photographing apparatus is triggered to measure and/or detect descriptive data relating to the transport conditions. The microcontroller associates time information with the descriptive data from the sensor.

  • Patent number: 12124917
    Abstract: A system to capture images of an open container moving on a conveyor. The system includes a conveyor, an open container, and an image-capturing device located above the open container. A barcode reader is configured to read a barcode located on an external face of the container. A display device is configured to display or store at least one captured image and the barcode of the container. A processing unit, including a database, is configured to associate time information with the captured image data. The system triggers an image capture when the open container is proximal to the image-capturing device during the movement of the conveyor.

  • Patent number: 12045685
    Abstract: A system for monitoring loading and unloading of goods or area transfers of goods. A terminal is positioned close to the point of passage of the goods. The goods being in containers, each container includes a barcode or a container carrier having a barcode. The terminal includes an image capturing device, configured to capture a photograph or film at the time when at least one container or container carrier passes in front of the terminal. A flash connected to the image capturing device triggers when a photograph or film is captured. A control unit includes a microcontroller driving the system and the database. A processing unit to process the photograph or film to identify the barcode captured in the photograph or film. A triggering unit to trigger the capture of a photograph or film based on at least detection of a container indicating passage in front of the terminal.
