  • 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.
