## Abstract

A packaging machine (1) having at least one registration device is described, in particular a log-in device (13, 16) for checking the personnel-related access authorization. In order that a log-in procedure for gaining access to the packaging machine (1) is associated with the smallest possible expenditure of time and/or effort, at least one of the log-in devices (13, 16) includes a reading unit for wireless and/or contactless reception of transmitted information from wireless and/or contactless readable portable data storage media (12, 18), as well as an alternative input device for the wired input of information. A data storage medium is also disclosed.

## Claims

### Claim 1

Packaging machine (1) having at least one registration device (13, 16) for log-in and monitoring the personnel-related access authorization characterized in that at least one of the registration devices (13, 16) includes:
a reading unit for the reception of information transferred in a wireless and/or contactless manner, from a portable wireless or contactless readable data storage media (12, 18),
as well as
an alternative input device for the hard-wired input of information.

### Claim 2

Packaging machine (1) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the alternative input device has a locking state from which it is freely switchable.

### Claim 3

Packaging machine (1) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the alternative input device can be operated manually and/or with a key, and or with a smart card.

### Claim 4

Packaging machine (1) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the registration device (13, 16) includes a control unit (25) for receiving information from the reading unit and/or the alternative input device, as well as for transmitting control commands.

### Claim 5

Packaging machine (1) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that at least one locking device is provided on the packaging machine (1) that is controllable with respect to access by the control unit (25).

### Claim 6

Packaging machine (1) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that a transmitter unit is provided for transmitting electromagnetic waves, and the reading and/or transmitter unit is designed as an RFID station for information transmission using RFID transponder units (20).

### Claim 7

Packaging machine (1) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the control unit is designed so that the scope of access to the packaging machine is determined by the last successful log-in.

### Claim 8

Packaging machine (1) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the control unit is designed to issue different access rights during log-in on the basis of the transmitted information.

### Claim 9

Packaging machine (1) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the control unit is designed to refuse access to the packaging machine and/or to change the issued access rights after a certain time interval.

### Claim 10

Packaging machine (1) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the reading unit and/or the bypass input device are designed to read in personal biometric information, and the control unit is designed to carry out a review of the personnel-related access authorization.

### Claim 11

Data storage medium (12, 18) for storing information for the purpose of gaining access to a packaging machine (1), among other things, according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that a transmitter unit (20) is provided for wireless and/or contactless information transfer.

### Claim 12

Data storage medium (12, 18) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that the transmitter unit (20) is designed as an electromagnetic transmitter.

### Claim 13

Data storage medium (12, 18) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that a receiving unit (20) is provided for wireless and/or contactless information transfer.

### Claim 14

Data storage medium (12, 18) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that an RFID transponder unit (20) is provided.

### Claim 15

Data storage medium (12, 18) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that an integrated switching circuit (22) is integrated and is designed as an encoding unit (22).

### Claim 16

Data storage medium (12, 18) according to one of the foregoing claims, characterized in that a writeable memory unit is provided that can be written on at least once.
