Abstract
The invention relates to a device for assembling sets of instruments, having a data processing installation and a fine identification unit. The data processing installation has a display unit, a database, a first interface and an evaluation unit. The fine identification unit has a first support for placing the instruments of a set of instruments thereon and a first camera. The first camera is arranged and oriented such that it can capture image data from instruments to be identified and arranged on the first support from at least one perspective, and the data processing installation is designed such that it uses the first interface to receive image data from the first camera and can store the received image data in the database. It can further visually identify a respective instrument by use of the evaluation unit. The invention also relates to an according method for assembling sets of instruments.
