Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3501300A1] A method for inspecting the operation of at least part of a production line (1) in the tobacco industry involves the use of a probe (10) made in the shape of a smoking article and including a processor (16), a memory (12), a data exchange module (13) and an electric power supply (22). The line (1) includes a path (P) for the movement of the smoking articles, a control unit (14) and a working unit which is positioned along the movement path (P) and is provided with a tag (T) having a read/write memory and a data exchange interface to emit and receive data in a wireless communication. The method comprises loading the probe (10) into the line (1) at a loading position located along the movement path (P) and transferring data between the probe (10) and the tag (T) of the working unit when the probe (10) is located at an operating position along the movement path (P).
