  • Patent number: 11596288
    Abstract: A washing system for determining an operating state of a dishwasher comprises a dishwasher, in particular wherein the dishwasher comprises a dishwasher interface, a dispenser unit, in particular wherein the dispenser unit comprises a dispenser interface, wherein the dispenser unit is connected to the dishwasher for dosing a detergent to the dishwasher, a logic unit, in particular wherein the logic unit is connectable to the dishwasher interface and the dispenser interface, and a current sensor for measuring an electrical current consumed by the dishwasher, wherein the current sensor is connected to the logic unit. By replacing costly water meters by a current sensor, the cost efficiency of the washing system may be increased. In addition, the assembling and maintenance effort of the washing system may be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20060265584
    Abstract: Communication system for monitoring traceability between at least one upstream operator (2) and at least one downstream operator (3), by way of a controller (4), using a multiplicity (CPUC1, CPUC2, CPUCn) of identification codes (CPUC), each comprising an identifier (IDU1, IDU2, IDUn) associated with a multiplicity (141, 142, 14n) of objects (14) by way of a support (15), the downstream operator (3) having a reader (17, 27) and the controller having under its control a server (9) being devised so as to accomplish the following functions: declaration of identification of any downstream operator (3), association (ASSOC1) of this identification code (CPUC) read and of the downstream operator (3) that performed the read, and recording of this association (ASSOC1) in a database (19, 35), accessible to the upstream operator (2).
