1. A storage system designed for storing medical products, the storage system comprising:
a storage area comprising storage spaces for a respective type of said medical products;
a plurality of sensors, each of which is designed as a data logger and each of which is arranged in a manner specific to a respective storage space, in order to automatically detect at least one storage space-specific ambient parameter; and
at least one reading device for reading the data loggers,
wherein the storage system is provided and designed such that a data transmission between a selected data logger of the data loggers and the at least one reading device takes place by the at least one reading device directly facing the selected data logger, wherein the at least one reading device is approached to the selected data logger by an automated traversing and positioning device and is positioned at a predetermined distance with respect to the selected data logger, and wherein the data loggers are each designed for a data communication by NFC, and wherein the at least one reading device is adapted to be positioned by means of the automated traversing and positioning device such that the at least one reading device may approach each of the storage spaces individually.
