Abstract
A qualification method for a container provided with an RFID tag comprising the following steps when the container is stored in a storage enclosure comprising a sensor suitable for measuring the temperature within the enclosure and an RFID reader:
a/ radiofrequency transmission by reader of a message comprising a value representative of a temperature measurement in the enclosure; step a/ being reiterated after each measurement moment of a plurality of predetermined successive measurement moments;
b/ storage, by the RFID tag of the container, of the value included in said message received, the memory of the RFID tag comprising successively stored temperature values each associated with a distinct determined measurement moment;
c/ qualification or disqualification of the container as a function of a comparison between the number of temperature values stored for the container and the number of said determined measurement moments.

16. A qualification method for a container provided with first wireless telecommunications means comprising a memory, said method comprising the following steps when the container is stored in a container storage enclosure, said enclosure comprising at least one atmospheric sensor suitable for measuring, within the enclosure, at least one atmospheric parameter from among the temperature, pressure and humidity, and at least second wireless telecommunications means:
-
a/ radiofrequency transmission by the second wireless telecommunications means of the enclosure, to first wireless telecommunications means of the container, of a message including a value representative of a result of a measurement of said parameter in the enclosure;
step a/ being reiterated after each measurement moment of a plurality of determined successive measurement moments;b/ for each of said messages received by the first wireless telecommunications means of the container, storage, by said first wireless telecommunications means of the container, of the representative value included in the received message, the memory of the first wireless telecommunications means of the container including values representative of the results of measurements of said parameter successively stored and each associated with a distinct determined measurement moment; according to which the method further comprises a step for qualifying or disqualifying the container as a function of at least one comparison between the number of values representative of a result of a measurement of said parameter that are stored in the memory of the first wireless telecommunications means of the container and the number of said determined measurement moments. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A storage enclosure for containers comprising at least one atmospheric condition sensor adapted for measuring, within the enclosure, at least one atmospheric parameter from among the temperature, pressure and humidity, and said enclosure comprising second wireless telecommunications means adapted for communicating with first wireless telecommunications means of at least one container stored in the enclosure, said storage enclosure being adapted for transmitting, after each measurement moment of a plurality of determined successive measurement moments, to first wireless telecommunications means of said container, a message including a value representative of a result of a measurement of said parameter in the enclosure for the storage, by the first wireless telecommunications means, of the representative value;
and being adapted for qualifying or disqualifying a container as a function of at least one comparison between the number of representative values of a result of the measurement of said parameter that are stored in the memory of the first wireless telecommunications means (10) of the container and the number of said determined measurement moments. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30)
