The present invention relates to preparation an article of manufacture, such as of a tire, via application of at least one partially pre-cured component. At least one of the restricted zones comprises two or more adhesive zones of the vertical strip type, which are parallel to each other. This eliminates a bottleneck by the throughput of the radio LAN and eliminates the problems of the cost and the power consumption which arise from up conversion of a transmission signal. A buzzer is activated in response to the sensor’s having detected the operation of the trigger.
