DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A SET OF ARTICLES DISPOSED IN AT LEAST ONE POCKET BELONGING TO A POUCH STRIP, IN PARTICULAR FOR THE PREPARATION OF ARTICLES OF THE MEDICINAL TYPE
The present invention relates to a device for identifying a set of articles arranged in at least one pouch belonging to a bag of pouches, in particular for the preparation of articles of the tablet or similar drug type and an associated method. , said device comprising, according to the invention, - scanning means (4) at a point of the scrolling of the strip (2) allowing the successive digitization of the contents of each bag (3), - positioning means (5) of each pouch (3) to be digitized with respect to said digitizing means (4), - motorization means (12) for driving the strip (2) in a step-by-step motion and conveying means (6) allowing a drive of the strip (2) under tension, along a substantially vertical axis, over part of its path, said motorization means (12) and conveying means (6) cooperating with each other to cause a jolt at the of the pouch (3) to be digitized with each new training of the band (2) allowing a distribution of the articles by limiting the risk of superposition in the pouch to be digitized, - analysis means (14) making it possible to compare, with a database, each pouch scan to determine and record the contents of the corresponding pouch (3). La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'identification d'un ensemble d'articles disposés dans au moins une pochette appartenant à une bande de pochettes notamment pour la préparation d'articles de type médicaments sous forme de comprimés ou similaires ainsi qu'un procédé associé, ledit dispositif comportant, selon l'invention, - des moyens de numérisation (4) en un point du défilement de la bande (2) permettant la numérisation successive du contenu de chaque pochette (3), - des moyens de positionnement (5) de chaque pochette (3) à numériser par rapport auxdits moyens de numérisation (4), - des moyens de motorisation (12) permettant l'entraînement de la bande (2) suivant un déplacement pas à pas et des moyens de convoyage (6) permettant un entraînement de la band
