Claim:
1. A tyre handling machine comprising: first and second radio-wave readers configured to cause first and second transponders, respectively, to be read, the first radio-wave reader for causing reading of the first transponder located on a vehicle and the second radio-wave reader for causing reading of the second transponder located on a tyre; and a radio-wave communicator configured to transmit data to and receive data from a remote data center, wherein the first radio-wave reader is able to cause the first transponder to be read if the first radio-wave reader meets at least a first predetermined reader condition associated with the first radio-wave reader, wherein the second radio-wave reader is able to cause the second transponder to be read if the second radio-wave reader meets at least a second predetermined reader condition associated with the second radio-wave reader, and wherein the radio-wave communicator is configured to transmit first association updating information automatically to the remote data center upon a simultaneous occurrence of a reading of the first transponder caused by the first radio-wave reader and a reading of the second transponder caused by the second radio-wave reader, and to transmit second association updating information automatically to the remote data center upon a reading of only one of the first and second transponders or a failure to read any of the first and second transponders directly following the simultaneous occurrence of the reading of the first transponder and the reading of the second transponder, the first and second association updating information both including tyre-identification information and vehicle-zone information, and the remote data center storing the first and second association updating information in a tyre-management database relating to the vehicle.
