Abstract: System for managing a collection of objects, for example in a store, employing identification tags (RFID) assigned to object (O) locations and individual labels (ID-O) associated with the objects. The objects are identified using a portable label scanner (RFIDL) operating in either a local mode (M1) or in a single mode (M2), with said scanner being connected to a control unit (CPU) that controls the operation of the scanner. The local mode (M1) consists of reading the label (ID-Pj) of the display location (Pj) of a batch of objects (Oi) and of scanning the label of the objects located in this location for comparison and verification. The single mode (M2) is a close-up scan of the label of an object, taken individually.
