Abstract
This invention relates to a mobile device for collecting and validating collected articles, each equipped with a transponder and including rollers for moving along a runway in a predetermined path, a horizontal beam for receiving the articles collected during this displacement one by one, a radio-frequency interrogator for obtaining identifying information on each of the articles collected by the device and a comparator for comparing the identifying information obtained with references relative to a determined order for articles and thus for validating the collected articles as they are collected along the runway.
