Abstract
Signals are transmitted between a device placed on an object and at least one further device. Based on measurement of the signals transmitted between the device and the at least one further device, a position of the object is determined. Further, data associated with the object are stored in the device. The stored data are then transmitted from the device.
Claims16
A method of supporting handling of an object during a set of one or more processing steps performed on the object, the method comprising:
- storing work object (WO) data in a memory of a device disposed on the object, the WO data comprising information to be used for controlling the handling of the object during the set of one or more processing steps;
- transmitting signals between the device disposed on the object and at least one further device;
- based on measurement of the signals transmitted between the device and the at least one further device, determining a position of the object;
- based on the determined position of the object, controlling, by the device, transmitting a portion of the stored WO data from the device to the at least one further device, the transmitted portion of the stored WO data being representative of a processing step to be performed on the object;
- receiving from the at least one further device data representative of one or more processes that were performed on the object;
- and
- updating the WO data stored in the memory with the data representative of the one or more processes that were performed on the object.
4 more elements
A device, comprising:
- a transmitter configured for transmission of signals between the device and at least one further device;
- a processor configured to determine, based on measurement of the signals transmitted between the device and the at least one further device, a position of an object being processed on which the device is placed;
- and
- a memory configured to store, based on the determined position of the object being processed,
- WO data comprising information to be used for controlling the handling of the object during the set of one or more processing steps of the object, wherein the transmitter is configured for transmitting a portion of the stored WO data from the device based on the determined position of the object being processed, wherein the device receives from the at least one further device data representative of one or more processes that were performed on the object, wherein the device updates the WO data stored in the memory with the data representative of the one or more processes that were performed on the object.
2 more elements
A system, comprising:
- at least one device;
- and at least one other device, the at least one device comprising:
- a transmitter configured for transmission of signals between the at least one device and the at least one other device;
- a processor configured to determine, based on measurement of the signals transmitted between the at least one device and the at least one other device, a position of an object being processed on which the at least one device is placed;
- and a memory configured to store work object (WO) data comprising information to be used for controlling handling of the object during a set of one or more processing steps performed on the object, wherein the transmitter is configured for transmitting a portion of the stored WO data from the at least one device, the at least one other device receiving the stored data transmitted by the at least one device and/or providing at least a part of the data to be stored in the at least one device, the at least one further device receiving data representative of one or more processes that were performed on the object, and updating the WO data stored in the memory with the data representative of the one or more processes that were performed on the object.
