Abstract

A system for the surveillance or monitoring of an industrial installation (in particular a nuclear installation) making it possible for at least one operator to carry out rounds, the system having at least one central terminal (22) associated with a transmitter/receiver (23), identification labels located at different plotting or recording or acquisition points (12) at predetermined locations within the installation, and at least one portable terminal (26) available to each operator and associated with a data transmitter/receiver (27) for communicating with the central terminal and a label reader (28). These labels include electronic labels, whose content can be read and modified by writing. Electronic labels located on automatic equipment to be controlled, in each case contain a base for updated data relating to the characteristics of the equipment. The label reader associated with each portable terminal also permits a writing in the electronic labels.
