- the container 3 will now be described in a possible but non-limiting embodiment given purely by way of example.
- the container 3 is typically intended to be able to perform a function of packaging, storage, handling, transport of the content C by isolating it from the outside environment, that is to say because the content C is there initially and must be transferred to enclosure 2 either because the content is finally there, having been transferred there from enclosure 2.
- container 3 can also provide a treatment space function, the content C therein undergoing one or more treatments, such as for example, sterilization.
- the container 3 In the case where the container 3 is the initial location of the content C - with regard to the transfer in question -, the container 3 could have been implemented - in particular be filled with the content C - well before the transfer proper. Conversely, in the case where the container 3 is the final location of the content C - with regard to the transfer in question -, the container 3 a can be implemented - in particular be emptied of the content C - well after the transfer proper .
- the container 3 is most often for single use.
- the container 3 is able to be moved relative to the enclosure 2, for example from a preparation or storage location remote from the enclosure 2, to a location where the container 3 is assembled to the enclosure 2.

- these means are magnets.
- the content C to be transferred is not in itself crucial with regard to the invention except that it is intended to, and therefore must be able to be transferred. It may for example be a sterile object such as a container, a container element such as a stopper, a syringe, but also environmental control elements, or even waste produced during operation. manufacturing or processing, waste that needs to be transferred in order to eliminate it ...
- the content C most often undergoes one or more operations before and / or after the transfer (manufacturing, processing, handling, use, measurement, control, analysis, or the like ). All these operations and the details thereof constitute as much information (or data) specific to the content C, and in part at least to the container 3 which received it, that it is important to be able to trace.
- the transfer does not only concern a single content C and a single container 3, but a multiplicity, which it is also important to be able to individualize, distinguish and identify.
- the identification of the content C subject of the transfer in one or more sets of contents and that of the container 3 object of the transfer in one or more sets of containers 3, also constitute as much information (or data) specific to the content C or to the container 3 who received it, which it is important to be able to trace. As before, there may be information (or data) from which it follows that a transfer should not be able to take place.
- the process can involve several enclosures 2, and therefore several transfer systems 1, or a manufacturing line 4 also comprising several transfer systems 1, at least several first doors 10 ( figure 4 ).
- the system 1 comprises, in addition to the enclosure 2 and the container 3 filled or intended to receive the content C, a certain number of means functionally integrated into the enclosure 2 and the container 3 which are now described .

- the system 1 then comprises means for reading data D at short distance 20, functionally complementary to the marking means.
- It also includes means for storing the data D read 21, means for producing an output signal as a function of the data D read or stored 22, and means 23 for controlling the opening of the first door 10 and therefore the second gate 18, responsive to the output signal received from the means for producing an output signal 22.
- the transfer system 1 also comprises writing means 24 of data D in the marker means 19, functionally associated with the opening and / or closing of the first door 10 of the enclosure 2, or with an event linked to this opening and / or closing.
- the marker means 19 are of the read / rewrite type.
- the writing means 24 can write in the marking means 19 data corresponding to the fact that the corresponding container 3 has been used for a transfer and therefore assembled with a first door 10 of an enclosure 2. This data then becomes part of all the data D stored by the marker means 19 of the container 3.
- the reading means 20 of the enclosure 2 with which this new transfer is envisaged will read the data corresponding to the fact that the corresponding container 3 has been used for a previous transfer, the means 22 for producing an output signal will then produce an output signal taking account of this data and, according to the programming made, the control means 23 will not allow - and even prevent - the opening of the first door 10, guaranteeing a single use of the container 3.
- the reading means 20, and the writing means 24 when they are provided are located, at least during the operation of the transfer system 1 - or with a view to this operation -, at a short distance from the marking means 19 and therefore of the container 3 considered. Consequently, the reading means 20, and the writing means 24 when they are provided, are located, at least during the operation of the transfer system 1 - or with a view to this operation -, at a short distance from the first door 10 of the enclosure 2, or at least of a zone 25 which is the zone for the passage of the container 3 - and more particularly marking means 19 - with a view to its assembly to the enclosure 2 or the zone of location of the container 3 - and more particularly of the marking means 14 - during this assembly to the enclosure 2.
- This short distance is that resulting from the method and the means of communication between the marking means 19 and the reading means 20 and between the writing means 24 and the marking means 19, in the embodiment providing for such writing means 24. This short distance is the one that allows the transmission.
- the marker means 19 and the reading means 20, such as the writing means 24 and the marker means 19 communicate by radio, infrared or wire connection.
- the short distance considered can be of the order of ten or a few tens of centimeters.
- the reading means 20 and the writing means 24 are carried directly or indirectly by the enclosure 2, in particular the first wall 5 and, more especially, are at least substantially adjacent - namely in the immediate vicinity or near - at the first door 10 of enclosure 2 ( figure 1 ) or in zone 25.
- the reading means 20 and the writing means 24 can be fixedly arranged.
- the reading means 20, and possibly the writing means 24, while being located, at least during the operation of the transfer system 1 - or with a view to this operation -, at a short distance from the means markers 19 and therefore of the container 3 considered, are not directly carried by the enclosure, but located away from it ( figure 2 ).
- the reading means 20 are movable, in particular portable, while being located, at least during the operation of the transfer system 1 - or with a view to this operation -, at a short distance from the marking means 19 and therefore of the container 3 considered.
- the reading means 20 can take the form of what is commonly called a reading “shower”.
- Such marker means 19 can thus occupy a rest position possibly distant from the door 10 and be brought closer together during the operation of the transfer system 1, or with a view to this operation.
- the position of use of the marker means 19 in the form of a "shower” is shown in solid lines and the rest position in broken lines.
- the writing means 24 are also movable.
- the storage means 21 and / or the means for producing a signal 22 and / or the control means 23 are, or not, carried by the enclosure 2, in particular by its first wall 5. Good of course, there are the necessary functional links between all the means.
- the marker means 19 are a transponder or RFID tag.
- the means for producing a signal 22 also provide a visual or audible signal perceptible by the operator, so as to inform the latter of the state in which the transfer system 1 is located. , and in particular the effective completion of the opening of doors 10 and 18, where appropriate the effective completion of the transfer of the content C in the desired direction.
- a manufacturing line 4 ( figure 4 ), it comprises a single enclosure 2, having a wall 5 provided with the same plurality of n openings (7a, 7b ... 7n), connection interfaces (8a, 8b ... 8n), doors (10a, 10b ... 10n), assembly means (12a, 12b ... 12n), means for operating each door (10a, 10b ... 10n).
- Such a production line 4 thus comprises a plurality of n transfer systems (1a, 1b ... 1n) arranged functionally from upstream to downstream, the first in the operating order being the system (7a, 8a, 10a, 11a, 12a) and the last (7b, 8b, 10b, 11b, 12b).
- Such a production line is intended to operate step by step in relation to each transfer system (1a, 1b ... 1n).
- a first container 3a is assembled with the first transfer system 1a, in order to transfer the content Ca, for example in the direction of the container 3 towards the enclosure 2, then, that a second container 3b is assembled with the second transfer system 1b, and so on up to the n th container 3n to the nth transfer system 1n.
- Each transfer system (1a, 1b ... 1n) corresponds to a work station to implement an operational step in the envisaged process.
- all the containers (3a, 3b ... 3n) are first structurally assembled with the corresponding transfer systems (1a, 1b ... 1n), their implementation for the respective transfers occurring, in a staggered manner in time.
- a cabinet 26 connected to the enclosure 2 contains the means necessary for the operation of the line 4.
- the invention makes it possible, in the case of a manufacturing line 4 as just described, to control the operation of each transfer system (1a, 1b ... 1n).
- control means (23a, 23b ... 23n) of the opening of one - or each - of the doors (10a, 10b ... 10n) of the manufacturing line 4 are responsive to the signal received from the means for producing a signal (22A, 22b ... 22n) from a transfer system (1a, 1b ... 1n) placed upstream. In this way, one avoids making one or more transfers as soon as it would be unjustified because a previous transfer would not have been made.
- the transfer system 1 is programmed and the method of its implementation organized so that the control means 23 do not allow - and even prevent - the control of the opening of the first door 10, if the output signal means that the container 3 considered must not be used for a transfer.
- This can have several causes, linked for example to the process of developing the content C and of the container 3, to the very identity of these (mixture of batches), to improper handling, the fact that container 3 or its content C is not authentic, or even a transfer of content C which should not take place for any reason whatsoever
- the method also includes a step in which, thanks to the writing means 24, the marker means 19 data corresponding to the fact that the container 3 was used for a transfer and therefore assembled with a first door 10 of an enclosure 2. As already indicated, this data then forms part of the set of data D stored by the marker means 19 of the container 3.
- the transfer system 1 is programmed and the method of its implementation organized so that, in such a case, the control means 23 do not allow - and even prevent - the command to open the first door 10, to so that it is guaranteed that the container 3 is indeed for single use and cannot be reused later for a transfer.
- the method for implementing the transfer system 1 is such that, as the manufacturing process of the at least one container 3 progresses, preparation of its content C, filling with the content C, and processing, to write on the marker means 19, a plurality of information relating to the container 3 considered and to its content 4. This thus ensures the desired traceability, before, during and after the transfer.
- the container 3 also includes the marking means 19, capable of storing data.
- marker means 19 are in the form of a label such as an RFID tag, the embodiments being able to be adapted to the case of other forms of marker means 19.
- the marking means 19 are attached to and rigidly fixed to the external face 14a of the (second) wall 14 forming an envelope, being placed at least substantially in the surface thereof, an adhesion means 28 - such that glue or equivalent - being interposed between them.
- This embodiment must be compatible with the fact that the wall 14 can have a much greater flexibility than that of the marking means 19.
- the marking means 19 are located in the vicinity of the flange 27, of the second opening 16, of the second door 18 and / or in a zone of the container 3 having less flexibility such as a zone for welding the wall 14 on itself. This embodiment must moreover ensure a fixing which is normally inseparable from the holding means 19 to the wall 14.
- the marking means 19 are attached to and rigidly fixed to the flange 27 in a normally indissociable manner, in a receiving cavity 29 formed in the flange 27, an adhesion means 30 - such as glue or the like - being interposed between them, at the bottom of the cavity 29.
- the cavity 29 and the marker means 19 can be of complementary dimensions so that on the one hand the marker means 19 are protected laterally and that, on the other hand, their face free front 31 is at least substantially coplanar with the face 32 of the flange 27 situated around the cavity 29, in this case its front face 32 forming an interface 9.
- the front face 31 of the marking means 19 does not project from the front face 32 of the flange 27, so as not to hinder, or prevent, the mounting of the container 3 on the enclosure 2.
- a third possible realization is a variant of the second.
- the marking means 19 are not fixed to the flange 27 by an adhesion means such as that described above, but are fixed by inlaying and forced insertion into the receiving cavity 29 having a projecting edge 33 in the form of a lip. holding, ensuring the maintenance of the marking means 19 at the bottom of the receiving cavity 29.
- the free front faces 31 and 32 is at least substantially coplanar and, preferably, the front face 31 of the marking means 19 does not project the front face 32 of the flange 27. This embodiment offers the advantage of ensuring an inseparable attachment of the holding means 19 to the flange 27.
- the marker means 19 are trapped in a pocket 35 - for example a plastic bag having a certain flexibility - and this pocket 35 is in turn attached to and rigidly fixed in a manner normally inseparable from the external face 14a of the ( second) wall 14 forming an envelope by bonding or welding at 36.
- This embodiment has the advantage that the marker means 19 are protected by the wall constituting the pocket 35.
- the pocket 35 is fixed to the flange 27, or it is partly fixed to the (second) wall 14 and partly to the flange 27.
- the pocket 35 - and therefore the marker means 19 - is located in the vicinity of the flange 27, the second opening 16, the second door 18 and / or in an area of the container 3 having less flexibility such as a weld zone of the wall 14 on itself.
- the pocket 35 is located not on the side of the external face 14a of the wall 14 forming an envelope, but on the side of its internal face.
- the marker means 19 are connected to the container 3 by a flexible or rigid link of varying length.
- This embodiment offers the advantage of making it possible to separate the marker means 19 from the container 3 proper. This realization must be done in such a way that the marker means 19 cannot be untimely dissociated from the container 3, with which they must form an inseparable whole.
- the marker means 19 are not in physical contact with the content C of the container and are placed towards the outside of it. This constructive arrangement or any other similar aims to prevent the marker means 19 from being damaged as a result of contact with the content C, or even, conversely, that the content C is deteriorated as a result of contact with the marker means 19.
- the marker means 19 must, in any event, be structurally associated with the container 3 so as to form with it a normally inseparable assembly. Indeed, it is important that one cannot remove holding means 19 coming from a certain container 3 in order to associate them with another.
