Patent ID: 8378825

Claim:
A system for stockkeeping in an aircraft galley, the system comprising: a plurality of receiving devices which are provided for reception in a base body of the aircraft galley and are each provided with a transponder which is configured to emit an identification signal characteristic of the content of the corresponding receiving device, at least one transmitting/receiving unit which is provided on the aircraft galley and is configured to read in identification signals emitted by the transponders of the receiving devices and transmit them to a data processing unit, the data processing unit being configured to determine, on the basis of the identification signals transmitted by the transmitting/receiving unit, the inventory of the aircraft galley, a movement direction detection device for detecting a movement direction of a receiving device relative to the base body of the aircraft galley, wherein the data processing unit is configured to determine, on the basis of the identification signals transmitted by the transmitting/receiving unit and on the basis of the movement direction, determined by the movement direction detection device, of the receiving device relative to the base body of the aircraft galley, the position of the receiving device in the base body of the aircraft galley, and wherein the data processing unit employs a last-in-first-out logic to determine the position of the receiving device in the base body of the aircraft galley, and an output unit which is configured to output the inventory of the aircraft galley determined by the data processing unit.
