Abstract

An inspection system inspects gaming chips each having a color or a display indicating a value on an outer surface in a state where the gaming chips are stored in a case in which a maximum of the number of gaming chips to be stored is limited, and a radio tag storing gaming chip information is embedded in each of the gaming chips. The gaming chips are stored in the case capable of containing a row of gaming chips stacked in a thickness direction, and the inspection system includes a reading device that reads the radio tag of the gaming chip in the case and acquires gaming chip information of the gaming chip and a determining unit that compares the gaming chip information with a maximum of the number of gaming chips storable in the case and determines an abnormality of the gaming chip in the case when the number of gaming chips obtained from the gaming chip information is different from a maximum of the number of storable gaming chips.

Claims (13)

1. An inspection system configured to inspect items with built-in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, the inspection system comprising:

an inspection table on which a plurality of items are placed side by side;

a plurality of sensors configured to detect a presence of each of the plurality of items placed on the inspection table;

one or more RFID antennas configured to be used to detect the presence of the items by reading the RFID tags of the plurality of items placed on the inspection table;

a controller configured to detect a presence of an abnormal item by comparing results of detections by the plurality of sensors with results of detections using the one or more RFID antennas; and

an output device configured to:

output a result of the comparison or detection by the controller; and

output information indicating which item is the abnormal item when the controller detects the presence of the abnormal item.

2. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the inspection table has a configuration in which a plurality of items are placed in an aligned position.

3. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors are arranged in a straight line at equal intervals.

4. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more RFID antennas are provided parallel to a planar direction of the items placed on the inspection table.

5. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the output device is configured to output a physical number of the items detected by the plurality of sensors.

6. The inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the output device is configured to output the number of RFID tags read using the one or more RFID antennas.
