ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for the automated monitoring and the management of objects, especially medications in hospital environments, wherein this method consists, from a network of n individual housings containing a set of n objects, of transmitting to at least one of these objects, one or more movements selected from the extractions of said object from its housing and re-introductions of this object into an empty housing amongst the n housings, of automatically detecting the movement made and of using this detection in computer processes.This method is characterized in that a movement introducing an object into an empty housing or withdrawing an object from a housing, wherein this housing is formed by a spring system comprising two blades attached to a support block, is detected:during an introduction of an object in said housing, by transforming the force required to separate the two blades into a force perpendicular to the pressure sensor which results in a pressure on this sensor and a contact with it, which generates an item of movement information,during a withdrawal of an object from said housing, by causing the two blades to move towards one another and consequently the breaking of a pre-established contact with the pressure sensor, which generates an item of movement information.
